What is a Transport Wheelchair?

Transport Wheelchairs are different from regular manual wheelchairs in that they are not designed to be pushed by the person seated in the chair. Rather, they are intended to be pushed by a caregiver, friend or family member of the person seated in the chair.

Transport wheelchairs come in a variety of colors and sizes, and lately even styles. In particular, one manufacturer named Drive Medical has released a product called the “Duet”, which is a transport chair and rollator combined into one item. It has handles that flip down on one side, as well as a reversible backrest and fold-away footrests which enable the user or caregiver to completely convert the device from a full-featured rollator to a full-featured transport wheelchair in as little as 30 seconds. You can read more about the Duet Transport Wheelchair and Rollator at the Transport Wheelchairs Blog.
