A 19 inch transport chair is too wide when the rider is smaller or the hallway is tight. The Nova Lightweight Transport Chair in the 17 inch class is an attendant-pushed aluminum chair with 8 inch wheels. A companion pushes from behind. It is not a self-propel wheelchair. Choose Blue or Red.
This page is the narrower Nova aluminum transport, not the 19 inch sibling. Use it when the 19 inch seat is too wide for the rider or the doorways they use.
The frame is aluminum, not steel. It folds, and the back folds down for a car or closet. A companion still has to push. The rider does not self-propel.
Arms stay fixed at full length. Choose desk-length arms on the ultra-lightweight Nova if rolling up to a table is the point.
Footrests swing away for a transfer. Rear wheels lock. Lock them before the rider sits or stands.
This chair is for a smaller rider who will be pushed by a companion and whose seat width matches the 17 inch class, not the 19 inch Nova.
It is a weaker fit if they need the 19 inch seat, 12 inch rear wheels, or a wheelchair they can self-propel.
Seat class is the first cut. Do not order this 17 inch chair for a rider who needs the 19 inch Nova.
Trade-off: you get the narrower 17 inch aluminum chair. You give up the 19 inch seat, 12 inch rear wheels, and a self-propel wheelchair.
