This is such a great transport wheelchair, it's easy to fold and put in the car and easy to take out of trunk and open, the handles even fold down if you have a smaller trunk. The ride is smooth and the seat is comfortable. I would buy again if I needed another one. Review: Light weight makes a real difference! Folds compactly to fit even in small trunks! - We purchased this for my 89 year old father who is losing strength in his legs and can't walk for long distances. He's in the early to middle stages of dementia and it's important for him to be included in regular activities like grocery shopping, trips to the movies, museums with the great grandchildren etc. because the varied input of places outside the home stimulate his mind and time with familiar folk helps him stay in a positive frame of mind. Since he can't navigate the motorized carts at the grocery store and you cannot rely on various other venues having wheel chairs for you to borrow, we decided to get something that we could easily bring along wherever he goes with us. This transport chair is perfect! It is MUCH lighter than any of the conventional wheel chairs I looked at when visiting a used medical equipment thrift store the next town over. And, after looking at various transport chairs available there and here on desertcart, it was clear that this chair is also quite a bit lighter than other transport chairs I considered. The difference in weight is important to me because I have arthritis in my lower spine and and hands, this limits the amount of weight I can lift - especially a lift & twist movement such as needed when pulling large items in and out of the trunk of a car. The substantial difference in weight between this very sturdy transport chair and regular wheelchairs (with the big wheels adding much to their total weight) is quite significant. I am grateful for the light weight every time I go to put this very sturdy transport chair in my car. Frankly, the light weight & sturdy construction alone were worth the investment in this chair, but it has other features that we've come to appreciate. One important feature of this transport chair, besides the light weight, is that it was engineered to fold up very compactly. This means it's easy to fit in the back seats or trunks of smaller cars, and be easily loaded/unloaded by smaller statured people (like Dad's home helper who is about 5' 2"). In addition, the steps for folding or unfolding it are simple and easy to do (even for those with arthritic hands like mine). I really have come to appreciate the obvious thought and care that went into designing this transport chair. Although we keep the manual tucked in the convenient pocket on the rear side of the seat's backrest (so it'd be easy to find when someone new is handling the chair, like family members taking Dad on a special outing or a substitute caregiver), most people never even bother to read even the simple instructions). For example, folding it up involves basically three basic steps: 1. Lift off the two foot rests, 2. Unlatch the "handlebars" (what you push the chair with) & fold them down, 3. Pull up the seat in the middle - one hand each on the front & back. To set it up is essentially the reverse. Since we got it several months ago, no one who has loaded in its compact state has had any trouble with figuring out how to set it up for usage, and having done that, had no trouble folding it up to stow in the car. There are other features of this chair that are important to know about. For example, the adjustable foot rests were included in the price we paid (unlike some of the cheaper, heavier transport chairs) - and do NOT just assume that heavier weight means sturdier!). Adjustability is very important, no matter the height of the person who will be seated in it. Another is the way the armrest angle off towards the front of chair. This feature allows you to roll the chair in closer to a table than other designs, which makes it much easier to reach your dinner plate, drinking glass and utensils at a restaurant. Once close in, set the easy to use foot brakes to keep the chair in place. That reminds me of some important safety practices that we always impress on anyone who's taking Dad out with his chair - and you might want to also, no matter what chair you choose: Always set the foot brakes when parking the chair (such as at a restaurant or the movies). Also, before someone gets in or out of the chair, make sure the brakes are set and that the footrests are swung back out of the way (on the sides of the chair.) I should point out that, as a transport chair, it is specifically designed for someone who will have an attendant of some kind to push him/her about at all times. This makes it's function different from a traditional wheelchair where the person in the chair can move themselves along using the circular grips on each wheel. It's an important difference in functionality that must be considered at the outset. If a transport chair is what you need, I can honestly say that we have been really happy with this transport chair and hope that this review makes clear the reasons why. ## Features - LIGHTWEIGHT AND DURABLE: Ultra lightweight, 15 lbs., folding transport chair for adults has a sturdy aluminum frame; 300 lb. weight capacity - COMFORTABLE WITH EASY IN/OUT: Desk-length cushioned armrests for comfort; spacious 19” wide x 16” deep seat; swing-away footrests make it easy to get in and out of the seat; cup holder comes standard - FOLDS EASILY FOR TRANSPORT: Compact design folds easily with swing-away footrests that lock in place for convenient storage and transport in car trunk - MANEUVERS EFFORTLESSLY: Sturdy 8” rear wheels coupled with swivel front wheels maneuver smoothly around tight corners, doorways or ramps, inside or outside; rear-wheel locking brakes allow for safe and secure transfers - EASY CARE AND NO ASSEMBLY: No assembly required with easy-clean nylon fabric ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001MBCS6K | | Best Sellers Rank | #22,071 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #4 in Attendant & Transport Wheelchairs | | Brake Style | Push-to-Lock | | Brand | Medline | | Brand Name | Medline | | Color | Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 7,476 Reviews | | Frame Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00080196303222 | | Handle Type | Push Handles | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 34"D x 23.25"W x 34"H | | Item Weight | 15 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Medline | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 300 Pounds | | Model Name | Medline Ultralight Transport Wheelchair | | Power Source | Manual Propulsion | | Product Dimensions | 34"D x 23.25"W x 34"H | | Product Style | Compact | | Seat Depth | 16 inches | | Seat Height | 19 Inches | | Style | Compact | | Turn Radius | 18 Inches | | UPC | 080196303222 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Wheel Size | 8 Inches | | Wheel Type | Rear Wheels | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Medline - **Color:** Red - **Item Weight:** 15 Pounds - **Product Dimensions:** 34"D x 23.25"W x 34"H - **Style:** Compact ## Images ![Medline Ultra Lightweight Transport Wheelchair for Adults, Foldable, 19-Inch Seat Width, Red Frame, Black Upholstery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81pQM5eb52L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can i return if it doesn’t work for my dad? we have amazon prime** A: Perhaps things have changed in the last two years, but the ad now (07/23/21) states "This item is non-returnable, but if the item arrives damaged or defective, you may request a refund or replacement." **Q: Like to know the correct weight of chair. For I have to put in trunk of car. I am 84 yrs.?** A: I bought it for my 80-year-old aunt on the premise that it was about 15 pounds. I did not weigh it myself but I did have occasion to put it in my SUV about ten times in one day when I went to visit her. I am 66 and had no problem with it. I will say that she is the youngest of her friends who are transporting her around while her broken left foot and right ankle heal. She's says they are able to lift it quite well and, of course, my aunt is thrilled to be able to continue going out with the girls. I also bought this chair for another 70ish gal so that she can transport her 94-year-old mom. She is so happy to have the transport chair as it is much lighter than her mother's walker. Being able to push her mother in and out of stores and doctor's appointments is so much faster and safer than the walker--especially when the weather is bad. I hope this has been helpful! **Q: Could someone recommend a wheelchair that is ideal for someone 6'1 and light weight?** A: This chair is good. Light weight for me to pick up and put in the car, easy to push, but it is made for a person up to 350 lbs ao it has a wide seat. You might want something smaller. **Q: Does anyone know if the nylon seat is strong enough to carry around someone who weighs 230 lbs?** A: Amazon states 300 lbs. I can tell you that this would easily handle 230 lbs as I bought this for a relative who weighs approximately 250. That relative was very pleased with the good support in the seat as compared to the one this purchase was replacing. I hope this helps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lite but mighty! *by N***A on March 22, 2026* This is lite but mighty!
