Attendant propelled wheelchair guide
About Transit Wheelchairs
Transit wheelchairs are attendant propelled wheelchairs designed to be pushed by a carer, family member or support worker rather than self-propelled by the user. They usually have smaller rear wheels than self-propelled wheelchairs, making them lighter, more compact and easier to store or transport. Many lightweight transit wheelchairs include folding frames, attendant brakes and practical comfort features, making them suitable for appointments, care homes, days out and everyday assisted mobility throughout Hampshire.

Lightweight transit wheelchairs are useful where easy lifting, handling and regular transport are important for carers or family members.
Folding Transit Wheelchairs
Folding transit wheelchairs are designed to reduce storage space and make transport easier for cars, taxis, care settings and homes.

Buying guide
How to Choose the Right Transit Wheelchair
Choosing the right transit wheelchair depends on who will push the chair, how often it will be transported and the level of comfort and support required.
1
Step 1 — Think About Who Will Push the Wheelchair
Transit wheelchairs are designed to be pushed by an attendant, so consider who will usually assist the user and how often the chair will be used.
2
Step 2 — Consider Weight and Transport
If the chair needs to be lifted into a car boot, moved between locations or used for appointments, a lightweight transit wheelchair may be more practical.
3
Step 3 — Check Folding and Storage Needs
Folding transit wheelchairs and compact transit chairs are useful where storage space is limited or where the chair needs to travel regularly.
4
Step 4 — Look at Attendant Brakes and Controls
Attendant brakes can give the person pushing the wheelchair more control, especially on slopes, ramps or during regular assisted journeys.
