A 13-Pound Frame That Makes Every Outing Easier
Make trips to appointments, errands, and outings simpler with the Feather Transport Chair. As one of the lightest transport chairs available, it's built for caregivers and travel companions who want an easier lift into the car and a smoother push around town. At a bare frame weight of just 13 lbs, it cuts out the heavy lifting and bulk that come with traditional transport chairs.
Despite the featherlight frame, the Feather still confidently supports a 300 lb weight capacity. It rolls on 8.5" flat-free rear tires and 6" front casters for a smooth, low-effort glide across shopping centers, sidewalks, and medical office hallways alike.
Key Features
- 13 lb Frame: Dramatically reduces lifting strain during car loading and trunk storage.
- Compact Folded Size: Folds down to 29" x 24" x 9" to fit in smaller trunks or narrow closets.
- 300 lb Weight Capacity: Strong, stable frame with no flex under load.
- Effortless Push: The low-mass chassis takes a fraction of the effort of standard transport chairs, easing strain on caregivers during longer outings.
- Optional Companion Hand Brakes: Available rear push-handle brakes give companions precise speed control on slopes.
- Quick-Release Swing-Away Footrests: Detach instantly or pivot outward to clear the path for standing transfers.
- 18" x 17" Seating Deck: Generous seat proportions with room for layering.
Equipment Specialist Insight: The Feather Transport Chair sets a new bar for portable travel. Most high-capacity transport chairs come with a 30-plus lb steel frame that strains a caregiver's back with every car transfer — this one sidesteps that entirely. At a true frame lifting weight of just 13 lbs, nearly anyone can pick it up with one hand, while its precision axle bearings keep it tracking straight with minimal forward effort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the 13 lb weight include the footrests?
A: No. The 13 lb figure refers to the core frame only. The front swing-away footrests detach instantly without tools, so companions can pull them off for the lightest possible lift during car transfers.
Q: Can the occupant self-propel this chair?
A: No. This is a transport chair, designed to be pushed by a caregiver or companion. It uses compact 8.5" rear wheels rather than large push-rim wheels, which keeps the frame light and easy to pack.
Q: What's the advantage of the companion hand brake option?
A: Standard wheel locks sit down at the tire and require the companion to lean forward. The hand brake option adds bicycle-style levers within easy reach, giving smooth speed control on slopes and quick parking lockouts without back strain.
Q: Will this fit in a smaller car?
A: Yes. Folded down, it measures 29"L x 24"W x 9"H with a slim 15" folded width, making it a good fit for compact trunks and back seats.
