Click to zoomNova Transport Chair with Hand Brakes and Full Length Arms
A transport chair with brakes the person pushing can reach. Hand brakes on the push handles let an attendant control the chair on a slope instead of holding it back, and the 12" rear wheels roll over thresholds and kerb cuts that an 8" wheel drops into. The seat is 19.5" W X 16" D, the widest Nova offer below their bariatric frame.
A folding aluminum transport chair with hand brakes on the push handles, 12" rear wheels and fixed full-length arms. The widest seat in Nova's standard transport chair range.
What stands out
Buy this one for the hand brakes, and buy it in particular if the route you walk has a hill on it. Without them the person pushing controls a loaded chair downhill with their arms and their shoes, which is tiring on a gentle slope and genuinely unsafe on a steep one. The brakes sit on the push handles, so they belong to the attendant rather than the person seated, and the rear wheels still lock separately for transfers. The 12" rear wheels are the other half of the argument: an 8" wheel drops into a kerb cut or catches a threshold and stops the chair dead, and a 12" wheel rolls over it. The cost is weight, 23.75 lbs. against 19 for the plain chair, and the chair is 24.5" wide, so measure your doorways. It also has the widest seat and the tallest back Nova put on a standard transport chair, which makes it the most comfortable of them for a longer sit.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- are pushed on slopes, where the attendant needs brakes
- cross thresholds and kerb cuts that stop a small wheel
- need a wider seat, at 19.5" across
- need back support up towards the shoulders, at 19.25" above the seat
- 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, where the 350 and 353 have them
- want the lightest chair, because this one is 23.75 lbs.
