Buying guide
Choosing the right lightweight or travel wheelchair depends on who will use it, how often it needs to be transported and the level of comfort and support required.
Consider whether the wheelchair will be self-propelled by the user, pushed by a carer or mainly used as a transport chair for short journeys.
If the wheelchair needs to be lifted into a car boot or carried regularly, check the overall weight and whether an ultra lightweight wheelchair would be more practical.
Folding wheelchairs and compact wheelchairs are useful when storage space is limited or when the chair needs to fit into a vehicle.
Look at seat width, back support, armrests, footrests and how long the wheelchair will usually be used for at one time.
