Our take on the Manual Wheelchair

A folding manual wheelchair for adults, propelled by the user or pushed by a caregiver. It has detachable desk-length arms and swing-away footrests, which make side transfers and getting close to a table easier than fixed-arm chairs. It comes in three seat widths, so it fits a wider range of body sizes than one-size chairs. It is a basic steel-style everyday chair; it does not have the light weight or the adjustability of higher-end rigid or titanium chairs.

Questions and answers

What seat widths are available?

It comes in 16-, 18-, and 20-inch seat widths. Pick the width that leaves a little room on each side of the hips; a snug fit is better than a loose one.

Can I get close to a table in it?

Yes. The arms are desk-length and detachable, so the front of the chair can slide under a table and the arms can come off for side transfers.

Does it fold for transport?

Yes, it is a folding manual wheelchair. It folds for storage and for putting in a car, though it is heavier than a dedicated transport chair.

Can the footrests be removed?

The footrests swing away, which clears the front of the chair for standing up and for transfers. Check whether they also detach if you need them fully off.

Is it self-propelled or for a caregiver?

It is a manual chair. A user can push the rear wheels, and a caregiver can push it from behind. It has no motor.

Who is it not suited for?

Users who need powered movement, tilt or recline, or a very light chair to lift often should look at other types. This is a basic folding everyday chair.
