  How to Choose the Right Wheelchair for Sale 

Our wheelchair specialists, who have over 30 years of experience, provide free consultations to assist you in selecting the best wheelchair for your requirements. Important things to think about:  

• Self-driven or driven by a caregiver? This establishes the overall weight, wheel size, and frame type.  

• Regular use or infrequent trips? Which traits are most important depends on frequency and surroundings.  

• A bad fit results in long-term discomfort and health problems, thus the width and depth of the seat must match the person.  

• Portability: If the chair is frequently driven, find out how much it weighs and whether it folds.  

• The user's weight capacity must match. A bariatric model is the best option if standard ratings do not apply.  

• Cushions, armrest pads, lap trays, and access ramps are examples of necessary accessories that can significantly improve comfort and safety.

What is the difference between a manual and electric wheelchair? 

The user or a caregiver powers a manual wheelchair. Users with limited upper body strength can move independently with an electric wheelchair, which runs on batteries and is controlled by a joystick. See our special Power Wheelchairs section for electric and power wheelchairs. 

How do I choose the right wheelchair size? 

The width of the seat should be one to two inches greater than the hip's broadest point. The thigh should be supported by the seat depth without being compressed behind the knee. Additionally, weight capacity needs to precisely fit the user. Before you buy, our wheelchair specialists provide free consultations to ensure the right size.
