Benefits
The removable, machine-washable seat and back cushions provide practical hygiene and flexibility. You can remove the cushion to use the seat as a shower chair during travel or when bathing assistance is needed. The ergonomic S-shaped backrest helps reduce pressure on the lower back during longer sits. The compact folding design reduces transport hassle and frees up space when storing the wheelchair in small vehicles or hallways.
Usage Recommendations
Use the manual brakes when stationary, especially on inclines, and fasten the safety belt for added security when sitting. For easier handling through airports or transit hubs, fold the chair before boarding and use the telescopic handle for smoother pulling. Consider removing the cushions for cooler seating during hot weather and reinstalling them for warmth and extra cushioning in colder months. Keep in mind that while the chair balances portability and durability, heavier users should verify the weight capacity meets their needs according to the manufacturer.
