A transport chair is a streamlined wheelchair propelled by a caregiver rather than self-propelled — it has smaller wheels and a lighter, more compact frame than a standard wheelchair, making it ideal for travel and tight indoor spaces. This ultralight transport chair has a durable steel frame for reliable stability, cushioned armrests and swing-away footrests for customized support, a 19-inch easy-to-clean padded nylon seat, and a chair and backrest that fold flat for easy transportation.
