Medline Guardian Extra-Wide Reclining Wheelchair
Model: Medline Guardian Extra-Wide Reclining Wheelchair, Removable Desk-Length Arms, Elevating Leg Rests
Availability: Ships from EnhDme — available in 22", 24", and 26" seat widths
Full Recline, Full-Width Comfort
Sometimes the best position for rest isn't fully upright, and a standard wheelchair doesn't give that option. The Medline Guardian Extra-Wide Reclining Wheelchair solves that with a quick-adjust handle that lets the backrest recline anywhere from 90 to 180 degrees, giving the user a genuine range of comfortable positions throughout the day.
Built on dual axles with smooth-rolling, solid tires, this wheelchair is designed to be pushed by a caregiver rather than self-propelled, making it well-suited for users who need more support. Removable desk-length armrests and elevating leg rests make transfers and positioning easier, while the easy-clean vinyl upholstery and padded calf rests add comfort without complicating maintenance. The wider seat widths in this extra-wide line provide the additional room some users need beyond Medline's standard reclining wheelchair sizes.

This extra-wide reclining line sits between Medline's standard Guardian reclining wheelchairs (available in 16"-20" seat widths) and their dedicated bariatric Shuttle line. Choosing the right seat width is especially important on a reclining chair, since the user will likely spend extended periods in it, including in reclined positions — a poorly fitted seat can contribute to discomfort or pressure issues over longer stretches of use. Measuring hip width at the widest point and comparing against the 22", 24", and 26" options here is the most reliable way to select the right size.
