Manufacturer's Product Description
The Snappi is a highly adaptable, special needs pushchair designed to accommodate a wide variety of seating needs. Particular care has been given to the aesthetics of the Snappi to prevent it from resembling the medical look of traditional, special needs buggies but rather maintain the modern, attractive appearance once thought to be reserved solely for high-street pushchairs. This attractive design is manufactured from high-grade aluminium which provides both strength and durability, yet is still lightweight, easy-to-fold and suitable for everyday use. Height adjustable push handles are fitted as standard to ensure the comfort and convenience of the attendant. The unique tilt in space facility is easily operated by a finger lever, mounted on the push handles, and offers an exceptionally high level of seat tilt between 0 and 40 degrees. There are no fixed positions for the tilt in space facility; rather, the occupant can be positioned at any angle within this 40 degrees range. The Snappi pushchair has been specially designed to offer an extensive range of growth to cater for your child's growing needs. As well as offering a high-level of growth, the backrest reclines independently, by means of an easy-to-operate gas strut, and can be positioned at any point between its 90 to 140 degrees range of recline. If necessary, the Snappi can be fitted with a dynamic backrest and footrest. This allows the child to extend and push back against a relatively light resistance and then be able to recover into the desired seating position. The Snappi is also now available, at point of manufacture, as a rearward facing pushchair (when your child is facing you) making it ideal for parents, especially those of special needs babies, who need to see their child at all times. To further cater for our littlest clients, a seat minimiser is now available for both forward and rearward facing size 1 Snappis. It enables the size 1 Snappi to be made smaller in order to ensure perfect postural support for even the smallest child. All new Snappis now come as standard with our new style pin lock brake. This new brake mechanism is not only quieter to operate but also allows for a less strenuous movement to engage the brake. This exciting development manages to combine the stability and security of our previous mechanism with enhanced usability. Additional postural and everyday accessories are available for the Snappi to ensure each child's individual needs are all catered for. The Snappi pushchair (forward facing models only) has been successfully crash tested according to ISO7176/19, ensuring safe transportation of the occupant in specially-adapted vehicles.
