A full-size wheelchair with large drive wheels is heavier than most caregivers want to lift into a car. The Nova Steel Transport Chair is an attendant-pushed 19 inch chair: a companion pushes from behind, and the rider does not self-propel. The carbon steel frame folds, with 8 inch wheels and locking rear wheels. Choose Blue, Black, or Red.
Rear wheels are 8 inches. There are no large drive wheels for the rider to grab. A companion stands at the handles and pushes. Compare a wheelchair if the rider needs to roll independently.
The frame folds. The back uses a quick-release fold-down so the chair packs smaller for a car or closet. Confirm the folded row in the spec table against your trunk.
The arms stay fixed at full length. That gives the rider a longer resting surface. It is a weaker fit if they need the arm out of the way for a desk or a car transfer. Compare the desk-arm Nova on this site for that.
Footrests swing away and come off for a transfer. Heel loops and non-skid plates are on the footrests. A seat belt is included. Lock the rear wheels before the rider sits or stands.
This chair is for a rider who will be pushed by a companion, not someone who self-propels, and whose seat width matches the 19 inch class.
It is a weaker fit if they need to self-propel, want 12 inch rear wheels, or need an extra-wide seat.
The buying decision is attendant-pushed vs self-propel, steel vs aluminum, and 8 inch vs 12 inch rear wheels.
Trade-off: you get a folding steel attendant-pushed chair in three colors. You give up a lighter aluminum frame, 12 inch rear wheels, and a wheelchair the rider can self-propel.
