With a Transport Wheel Chair

Some models have carry straps while others fold neatly into a carrying bag that can be flung over the shoulder.

Transport chairs have small rear wheels, which are much smaller than standard manual wheel chairs.

Since the rear wheels are small, someone must push the chair to propel it forward. For this reason, transport chairs are sometimes called companion wheelchairs.

The biggest advantage of a transport wheel chair is its weight. Typically, transport chairs weigh about 15 to 20 pounds, much less than a standard manual wheelchair. They are easy to store and fit easily into even a compact vehicle.

Most transport chairs are less expensive than standard or electric wheelchairs. They offer a variety of features, including seat belts, padding, pockets, cup holders and colors. Before purchase, consider the weight of the chair, comfort, and carry weight above all else.

Most models are made from lightweight aluminum or steel tubing to make them light enough to be easily lifted and stored.

While transport chairs are not designed for using all the time, comfort is still important. Check the seat width, cushion and padding, including arm padding, prior to purchase.

Lastly, be sure the chair can comfortably carry the weight of the individual it is supporting. Most models can handle 250 pounds but some sturdier ones can carry up to 300 pounds. Check weight capacity prior to purchase and follow manufacturer’s instructions.
