Karman Swing Away Footrest Ergonomic Wheelchair

Last updated: February 20, 2023


This wheelchair is one of the most comfortable, thanks to the ergonomic contouring of its seat. An antibacterial seat keeps you safe while a lightweight design makes it easy to maneuver. It is one of the pricier wheelchairs, though, and its weight capacity maxes out at 250 pounds.

Lightweight. Durable. Anti-bacterial seat. Ergonomic contouring.
It’s comfortable, and it’s highly configurable, which means that you can tweak and adjust it until it’s a perfect fit for you.
The frame is crafted from an aircraft grade aluminum, allowing it to be only 29 lbs light.

What reviewers didn't like

Expensive.
Expensive. Quick release wheel can be complicated to operate.
We’d love to see the addition of handbrakes that the caregiver could use on those occasions, which would make the chair even better at handling sloping terrains.
