Click to zoomNova Lightweight Transport Chair
Nova's standard aluminum transport chair. It weighs 19 lbs. in the 19" seat and 18.75 lbs. in the 17", carries 300 lbs. either way, and folds for a car. Fixed full-length arms, a quick release fold-down back, a seat belt and non-skid footplates with heel loops.
A folding aluminum transport chair with fixed full-length arms, swing-away footrests, a seat belt and locking rear wheels, in a 17" or a 19" seat.
What stands out
This is the transport chair most people should look at first, and the reason is the seat width. Nova build it in 17" and 19", and getting that right matters more than any other choice on the page: too narrow and it is uncomfortable within ten minutes, too wide and the person slides sideways and loses support. Measure the hips while seated and add about an inch. The 17" frame has a second use as well, because it takes the whole chair to 21.25" wide, which is what gets through an older interior door that a 23.5" chair will not. Beyond that it is Nova's standard kit done properly: aluminum at 19 lbs., a quick release back so it folds flat, a seat belt fitted as standard, locking rear wheels and heel loops on the footplates. There are no hand brakes for the attendant on this model. If you will be pushing on hills, look at the 330 or the 350 instead.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- are pushed by someone else rather than moving yourself
- want the seat width matched to the person rather than one size
- need a narrow chair for tight doorways, where the 17" is 21.25" across
- lift the chair into a car and want aluminum rather than steel
- weigh up to 300 lbs.
Look elsewhere if you
- need to propel the chair yourself, because there are no hand rims
- need a chair for all-day seating, where a manual wheelchair is built for it
- need arms that flip up for a side transfer
- want hand brakes for the attendant, which are on the 330, 350 and 353
