How to Choose the Right Wheelchair

5 min read
Weight, frame material, seat width and propulsion all matter. Here's a simple guide to finding the wheelchair that fits your life.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I measure the right seat width?

Measure across the widest point of the hips while seated, then add about 2cm for clearance. Too wide costs stability; too narrow risks pressure points.

Can a wheelchair be folded for car transport?

Most travel and transit models fold flat or split into parts. Tell us your boot size and we will recommend a chair that fits.

Do you offer a fitting or trial before purchase?

Yes. We recommend never buying a wheelchair unseen — book a fitting and we will configure the chair to your exact measurements.
