**Attendant propelled wheelchair guide**
## **About Transit Wheelchairs**
Transit wheelchairs are attendant propelled wheelchairs designed to be pushed by a carer, family member or support worker rather than self-propelled by the user. They usually have smaller rear wheels than self-propelled wheelchairs, making them lighter, more compact and easier to store or transport. Many lightweight transit wheelchairs include folding frames, attendant brakes and practical comfort features, making them suitable for appointments, care homes, days out and everyday assisted mobility throughout Hampshire.

**Buying guide**
## **How to Choose the Right Transit Wheelchair**
Choosing the right transit wheelchair depends on who will push the chair, how often it will be transported and the level of comfort and support required.
**1**
### **Step 1 — Think About Who Will Push the Wheelchair**
Transit wheelchairs are designed to be pushed by an attendant, so consider who will usually assist the user and how often the chair will be used.
**2**
### **Step 2 — Consider Weight and Transport**
If the chair needs to be lifted into a car boot, moved between locations or used for appointments, a lightweight transit wheelchair may be more practical.
**3**
### **Step 3 — Check Folding and Storage Needs**
Folding transit wheelchairs and compact transit chairs are useful where storage space is limited or where the chair needs to travel regularly.
**4**
### **Step 4 — Look at Attendant Brakes and Controls**
Attendant brakes can give the person pushing the wheelchair more control, especially on slopes, ramps or during regular assisted journeys.
**5**
### **Step 5 — Book a Free Home Demonstration**
The best way to choose the right transit wheelchair is to try one. Our free home demonstrations across Hampshire let you compare suitable attendant propelled wheelchairs in your own environment.
