From The Manufacturer

Transport chairs make it easier for your loved ones and caregivers to help you get around in comfort and ease.

A transport chair is much lighter than a wheelchair; plus, it is more compact which makes getting around town easier. This Medline Transport Wheelchair comes equipped with loop-lock handbrakes that are easy to operate and ideal for locking the rear wheels during transfers. It also has a seat belt which keeps the passenger securely in place and it is compact when folded, making it easy to lift into a car or carry up the stairs. Weighs just 23.5 pounds and is equipped with a seat belt, comfortable nylon upholstery, full length permanent armrest, and detachable footrests.
