Easy to Push
The ultra light folding transport chairs are easy to use and an excellent option for those who require assistance with getting around.

The chairs fold down and up, which makes it even easier to store them in a closet or car.
Both wheelchairs and transport chairs can improve the quality of life for those with limited mobility by providing the opportunity to explore new possibilities and making everyday activities easier. However, it is important to consider the manner and time the person will be using the mobility device. Will it be a temporary aid that will be used with the assistance of an adult caregiver or do they plan to use the aid on their own?

Easy to Fold
Although both transport chairs and lightweight wheelchairs can be ultralight, easy to fold and storable in small areas however, there are some significant distinctions between the two types of devices. For example transport chairs are usually intended for short-term or temporary use, and are operated by someone else. Lightweight wheelchairs, on the other hand, are made to be used either at home or out in the outdoors and can be customised with a wide variety of additional features such as oxygen attachments, storage cushions and tray.
