Click to zoomNova Ultra Lightweight Transport Chair
An ultra lightweight compact transport chair at 18.75 lbs. that still carries 300 lbs. The arms are desk arms, which are cut away at the front so the chair pulls under a table and a side transfer is possible, and the frame folds to 8.75" deep, the narrowest fold in Nova's transport chair range.
The lightest 300 lbs. transport chair Nova make, on an ultra lightweight aluminum compact frame with fixed desk arms, swing-away footrests and a seat belt.
What stands out
The 379 is the travel chair of the range and it earns that in two numbers: 18.75 lbs. and 8.75" folded depth, both the best Nova offer on a chair still rated to 300 lbs. The saving comes from a compact frame and a lower backrest, 15.5" above the seat against 18.25" on the standard chair, and that is the one thing to check before you buy. For a person who sits upright and needs support to mid-back, it is fine and you get the weight saving for nothing. For someone who slumps or needs support up to the shoulders, it is the wrong chair and the 329 or the 350 is right. The other real feature is the desk arms. They are cut away at the front so the chair goes under a table and a side transfer works, which is a daily difference in a house where the chair is used at meals. They are fixed rather than flip-up, so the side transfer is over the arm rather than past it.
Straight talk
Is it right for you?
A good fit if you
- lift the chair into a car regularly and want the lightest 300 lbs. frame
- need the chair to pull up to a table
- transfer in from the side rather than the front
- need the narrowest fold, at 8.75" deep
- 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 a high back for shoulder support, because this one is 15.5" from the seat
- need arms that flip up, because these are fixed
