Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a transport wheelchair and a standard wheelchair?
A transport wheelchair is designed to be pushed by a caregiver — the 8" composite rear wheels are not large enough for the user to self-propel. A standard manual wheelchair has large 24" rear wheels that allow the user to propel themselves independently. Transport chairs are lighter, more compact, and easier to fold and store, but require a caregiver for movement. If the user needs to self-propel at any point, a standard wheelchair is the appropriate choice.

Will this chair fit in a standard car trunk?
Yes. The chair folds to just 9" wide and weighs only 19 lbs, making it one of the more compact and lightweight transport chairs available. The fold-down back further reduces the overall profile. Most standard car trunks, SUV cargo areas, and van interiors can accommodate this chair when folded. The 19 lb weight also makes it manageable for most caregivers to lift in and out of a vehicle without assistance.

How do the swing-away footrests work?
The footrests pivot outward to the side of the chair, completely clearing the front of the seat for a straight-on transfer. This allows the user to stand up or sit down without stepping over the footrest — reducing fall risk and physical demand during transfers from a bed, car seat, or other surface. Once the user is seated, the footrests swing back into position and lock in place to support the feet during transport.

Is this chair available in other colors?
Yes. This listing is for the Red frame version (SKU 10950J). A Blue frame version is also available — browse our store or contact us to find the correct listing.
