01 / 06 · Fold and stow
Folds for the trunk
The chair folds across its width: raise the seat from the middle and the two sides draw in toward each other.
Grip the middle
Hold the seat at its center.
Raise it
The sides of the chair move together as the seat comes up.
Put it away
The folded chair, 11.5 in. wide, is meant for the trunk of a car or a closet.
What stays the same
Folding changes one number. Height stays at 36.5 in. and front-to-back length at 32.5 in., so measure the trunk or the closet for those as well as the 11.5 in. width.

One chair, four positions
The drawing keeps pace with your scrolling: first the open chair and its key numbers, then each part that moves, ending with the fold.

Two ways to roll
Sitting in the chair, you get moving by turning the hand rims on its big rear wheels. Standing behind it, a companion pushes with the two handles, both wrapped in comfort grips. The frame is steel in a hammertone finish, the seat is breathable black nylon 20 in. across and 18.5 in. up from the floor, and the chair takes up to 300 lb.

Arms that flip back
Each padded armrest pivots on a hinge at its back end, rising up and back out of the way. That opens the side of the seat, so sliding across to or from a bed, a car seat or another chair is easier. Being desk-length, the arms are shorter at the front, so you can pull in closer to a table.

Footrests that step aside
The two adjustable footrests swing outward to the sides, leaving the floor in front of the seat open for your feet as you get in or out. Either one can also be lifted off the frame.

Folded, 11.5 in. across
Raise the seat at its center and the sides close in, taking the chair from 26.5 in. wide down to 11.5 in. Height (36.5 in.) and length (32.5 in.) hold steady, and folded like this it can be stored in a closet or carried in a car trunk.
What it is made of
Steel frame, finished in hammertone: a dark-gray coat with a speckled, textured look. Breathable black nylon on the seat and the back. Padding on both armrests. Solid tires, smooth-rolling and never in need of air.

Arms back, footrests out
Getting into the chair or out of it, two things can move aside: the armrest on the side you slide across, and the footrests in front.
Swing-back arms
Lift an arm and it swings up and back on its rear hinge. With that side of the seat open, a sideways transfer from a bed, a car seat or another chair is easier.
Desk-length
Each armrest stops short at the front, which lets the chair come in closer to a table or a desk.
Swing-away footrests
Each footrest turns out to the side, giving your feet room as you step in or out, and it lifts off the frame altogether. Both are adjustable.
04 / 06 · Getting around
Your hands, or a companion's
Day to day the chair moves one of two ways: by the hand rims, from the seat, or by the push handles, from behind.
- 01
From the seat
Hand rims on both large rear wheels let you move yourself along.
- 02
From behind
Two push handles, each with a comfort hand grip, let a companion do the pushing.
- 03
On the ground
Solid, flat-free tires roll smoothly with no air to top up.
The handles up close
Both push handles rise at the top of the backrest, each with a comfort grip, so a companion can take over whenever it helps. The black nylon back sits between them.

Tape measure first
Before the chair arrives, check it against your doorways and your car. Open, it takes up this much room:
Metric: the seat is about 51 × 41 cm and sits about 47 cm up; open, the chair is about 67 cm wide, 93 cm high and 83 cm long; folded, it narrows to about 29 cm; the weight limit is about 136 kg.
Measure before you order
Start with doorways and hallways: when open, the chair measures 26.5 in. across, so find the narrowest point on its daily route. Then the storage spot. Folded, it narrows to 11.5 in. yet stays 36.5 in. tall and 32.5 in. long, and the car trunk or closet has to take all three.
Capacity: 300 lb
The most this chair is rated to carry is 300 lb, about 136 kg. Stay at or below it.
Checking the seat size
The seat measures 20 in. across and 16 in. from front to back. Measure the hips of the person who will use it, straight across while seated, plus the length of the thigh, and compare. When the chair is for daily use, a physical or occupational therapist can help with the choice.

Questions people ask
Can a companion push it?
Yes. Two push handles with comfort hand grips are at the back, and the person seated can still use the hand rims on the rear wheels.
Why are the armrests shorter at the front?
They are desk-length. With less armrest up front, the chair can be pulled nearer to a table or a desk.
What do the footrests do?
They swing out to the side to clear the way when you get in or out, they lift off the frame, and they are adjustable.
Where does it go once folded?
Into a car trunk or a closet. Only the width changes, to 11.5 in.; the height and length are the same as when it is open, so measure for all three.
What kind of tires does it have?
Solid ones. They roll smoothly and are flat-free, so there is never anything to inflate.
Can I collect it myself?
Yes, curbside pickup is free. Or choose local delivery to Miami, Fort Lauderdale or Palm Beach in 69 minutes or less.
