With Hippocampe, you can cross the sand, get over any obstacles and go right into the sea. Enjoy simple pleasures with family or friends: strolls along coastal tracks, in the woods or in the mountains. Share exciting moments and create memories with the people you love. Hippocampe has undergone stringent testing to ensure full compliance with safety standards conformity, resistance tests, endurance tests, etc. Well designed yet recreational, Hippocampe perfectly fits into the holiday enviornment. Collapsible, lightweight and non-bulky, you can take it anywhere in it's carryall. As of June, 2009, through a grant from the Old Newsboy Day, we now have a suitcase wheelchair ramp, a all-terrain wheelchair dolly and for winter use, a snow ski attachment for the Hippocampe chair.
