Description
The Feather Transport is one of the lightest transport chairs ever created, weighing just 13 lbs. complete. It has an 18″ wide by 17″ deep seat, a back that folds down for compact storage, fixed padded armrests, swing-away footrests, 8.5″ rear wheels and 6″ front casters. Despite its light weight, it supports up to 300 lbs., and it arrives fully assembled and ready to use.
A transport chair is pushed by a caregiver rather than the rider, so it uses small rear wheels instead of large self-propelling wheels. That makes it lighter and more compact than a standard wheelchair. For caregivers who need a chair for doctor visits, shopping trips, airports and family outings, weight is usually the biggest concern. At 13 lbs., this chair is about as easy to lift as a bag of groceries.

Light Enough to Go Everywhere
The Feather Transport weighs about half as much as many standard transport chairs. Older caregivers, spouses and anyone with back or shoulder problems can lift it into a car, truck or SUV without strain. Fold the frame, fold the back down, and it fits easily in a trunk or a closet, and it is simple to gate-check when you fly.
Simple for Caregivers
The chair is easy to push and steer, and the small 8.5″ rear wheels keep it nimble in tight spaces like bathrooms, exam rooms and narrow hallways. The swing-away footrests turn out of the way so the rider can stand up with their feet flat on the floor. The seat sits about 19.5″ from the floor, a comfortable height for sitting down and standing up.
Transport Chair or Wheelchair?
Choose a transport chair if the rider will always be pushed and you want the lightest, most compact option for the car. Choose a self-propelled wheelchair if the rider wants to move on their own using hand rims. Many families keep a Feather Transport in the car for outings and a regular wheelchair at home. Our team can help you decide which fits your daily routine best.
Tips for Safe Pushing
Make sure the chair is secured and cannot roll before the rider sits down or stands up. Swing the footrests aside before standing, and make sure the rider’s feet are on the footplates before you start pushing. Take thresholds slowly, and go down curbs backward. If the rider wants to push themselves, see the Feather Chair, which has 22″ self-propelling wheels and weighs just 19 lbs.
