Half the weight of a wheelchair, this Medline lightweight transport chair has all the features and versatility you want in in light, portable design. Made from sturdy welded steel, it supports up to 300 lbs. and has a seat that’s almost 20” wide. Oversized wheels make for easy rolling, and footrests can be adjusted for height, swung out of the way, or removed in seconds. Special antimicrobial protection helps keep your chair fresh and clean inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew continuously. (This product does not protect users or others against disease-causing bacteria.) When you need to fold your chair, just lift in the middle and it easily folds nice and flat, ready to fit in a car trunk or closet.
- Sit closer: Armrests are angled to allow you to sit up close to most desks and tables, while still providing ample arm support.
- Seat belt for additional safety: Prevents sliding during transportation & keeps you secure.
- Large wheels with locking brakes: 12” back wheels roll easily on rougher terrain. Brakes lock for greater security when getting in or out of the chair.
- Strong, but lightweight: Tough welded steel frame folds by lifting on the seat, providing great convenience and transportability without sacrificing safety and comfort.
- Infused with Microban Antimicrobial Protection: Microban antimicrobial* protection is built into the Medline Wheelchair to help prevent stains and odors caused by bacteria, mold and mildew, for the life of the product.
Q: Does this chair have brakes that can lock
A: Yes it does.
Q: can this chair be checked in as like luggage with any airline?
A: I would not check it where you check luggage, because it doesn’t have a bag or protection and it would be damaged - but you could push it thru security and board with it and since it’s a medical apparatus the airline would “gate check” it like they do with kids strollers, etc and put it under the plane. Just remember to wait for it and pick it up as you get off at the plane door.
A: 19 lbs.

Q: Would this be good on sand/beach for a paraplegic? His regular wheelchair will not work.
A: No the tires are too small. You would be best to get a “beach” wheelchair with the big tires. They rent them near most beach towns for about $50 a day and you can try them out. This chair would absolutely sink into sand unless there is a paved area.
