General comments on Transport Chairs:
Many people purchase wheelchairs when they really need a transport chair. Why would you purchase a transport chair vs. a wheelchair? Most transport chairs weight up to 50 lbs less than wheelchairs. Beyond being light, they fold and place easily into the back of a vehicle. Smaller rear wheels may make the transport chair easier to fit in the back of a vehicle, but the ride is generally not as smooth as the larger wheeled counterparts. Many elderly, or infirmed individuals prefer to not self-propel using their hands the back hands of a wheelchair.
