Transport Chair - Outdoor - 20"
A folding companion-pushed transport chair with a 20 inch seat, for someone who needs more room than a standard width chair.
Why this one
20 inch seat width
A 20 inch seat sits between standard widths and heavy duty frames, for someone who needs more room but not a bariatric chair.
Pushed, not propelled
Four small wheels and no handrims mean the chair is pushed by a companion, which is what keeps it light and easy to fold.
Folds for the car
The back folds down and the frame folds flat, so the chair packs into a car boot without needing an adapted vehicle.
Locks for transfers
Rear wheel locks let the attendant hold the chair firmly while someone gets on or off, which is when most falls happen.
About this product
A folding transport chair for outdoor use with a 20 inch seat, giving more room than a standard width chair without moving up to a heavy duty frame. It is pushed by a companion rather than self propelled.
Where 20 inches fits
Most transport chairs come in 17 to 19 inch seats, and the heavy duty models start at 22. A 20 inch seat covers the gap: someone who is uncomfortable in a standard chair but does not need a 450 lb bariatric frame. Getting this right matters, because a chair that is too narrow causes pressure at the hips over a long day out, and one that is too wide lets the person slide sideways and makes it harder to push in a straight line.
Pushed, not self propelled
Four small wheels and no handrims mean the person sitting in it cannot move it themselves. That is the trade for a chair that is lighter, narrower and easier to fold and lift than a standard wheelchair. If the person can propel themselves even part of the time, a standard wheelchair protects that and is the better choice.
Built for outside
Outdoor models handle pavement joints, kerb cuts and uneven ground better than an indoor chair, which is built narrow and light for corridors and lifts. If the chair will mostly stay in the house or a care setting, the indoor version suits better.
Practical details
The back folds down and the frame folds flat for a car boot. Footrests swing away for transfers, armrests are padded and the nylon upholstery wipes clean. Rear wheel locks let the attendant hold the chair while someone gets on or off, and a seat belt is included.
