Built for real life

What stands out

●
Arms that flip back and adjust for height
The arms swing out of the way and lift off, which clears the side of the chair for a transfer to a bed or a car seat. Set the height to match the rider's forearms.
●
Under 36 lbs.
The frame weighs less than 36 lbs. without the front rigging, so lifting it into a car boot is realistic for one person.
●
Seat extension included
A 2" tool-free extension takes the seat depth from 16" to 18", so a taller rider gets thigh support without a different chair. Anti-tippers come in the box as well.
●
Dual axle for a hemi seat height
Move the rear wheels to the second axle position and the seat drops from 19.5" to 17.5", low enough for a rider to push the chair along with their feet.
●
Your choice of front rigging
Swing-away footrests with heel loops, or elevating legrests on a pneumatic piston that holds the leg at any angle.
●
Nylon upholstery and wheels that never go flat
Nylon upholstery wipes down and resists mildew and bacteria. 24" solid urethane rear tires and 8" solid rubber casters need no air.
The Hieline Take

The Chariot III is the lightweight version of the steel chair below it, and the two things worth paying for are the weight and the arms: under 36 lbs. is light enough for one person to get it into a car boot, and the arms flip back and lift off, which makes a side transfer easier. The 2" seat extension and the anti-tippers are in the box rather than sold as extras. The back is fixed at 18" and the chair does not recline, so a rider who needs to change position through the day should be looking elsewhere, and as with any chair ordered to a seat size, measure the hips before you choose rather than after.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • weigh up to 300 lbs. and need a 16" or 18" seat, or up to 350 lbs. in a 20"
  • transfer sideways from the chair and want arms that flip back
  • have to get the chair into a car and want something under 36 lbs.
  • are tall enough to need an 18" seat depth, which the included extension gives you

Look elsewhere if you

  • weigh more than 350 lbs.
  • need a seat wider than 20"
  • need a chair that reclines or tilts
  • want a back height other than 18", because the back is fixed
