The Hippocampe all-terrain beach chair is recognised all around the world and received numerous awards for its design. Its goal is to make the beach and water-related activities accessible for everyone, no matter what kind of disability a person may have. Hippocampe offers individuals with disabilities accessibility to difficult terrains, impossible in a standard wheelchair: beach, sand, swimming area, hiking trails, snow, mountain. It is ideal for use on your own or accompanied. Towed, pushed or self-propelled, the Hippocampe chair offers autonomy to its user. With the use of its push bar or traction kit, a person who is not able to propel themselves can be assisted by others. The seat is composed of a thick and hydrophobic foam that does not absorb water and dries quickly. The blue and pink sheathed tubes are comfortable to the touch and do not heat up in the sun. Its small size, fold-down backrest, removable push bar and light weight make it easily transportable and convenient to store.
