Wizzibug Buggy for Handicapped Peds

Filed under: Pediatrics

Three years of intense research and engineering expertise have produced the Wizzybug, an electric wheelchair for disabled children of ages 5 and under. The device is designed to be more appealing to children, and apparently those power-wheel users next door are getting a little envious!

The buggy was designed by engineers at the Bath Institute for Medical Engineering. It weighs 69 lbs., has a programmable joystick, memory foam, can be dismantled to fit in the trunk of car, and is being sold at cost by a UK charity for around £2,000.
