Water resistant: the frame of the pool pushchair Hippocampe is stainless. The hydrophobic seat does not sponge and dries quickly.
Pool wheelchair wheels: the wheelchair’s grey tires do not mark the floor of the aquatic area.

- Go down by the access slope then get out the floating chair.
- Immobilize the pool pushchair Hippocampe with the brakes, transfer on the floor at the edge of the pool then descend into the pool.
- Or, accompanied by a third person, go down the small steps of the basin to access the water.
