Transport Wheelchairs
Putting the "Travel" in Travel Wheelchairs
Family trips are a great way to bond and spend time with your loved ones. Especially if they are disabled or weak due to illness, injury, or old age. The new environments are very stimulating to them and can lead to a faster recovery or a pro-longed life. But unfortunately travel concerns dissuade some families from taking those much needed trips and thus time off is spent at home instead of finding adventure.
The concern is that families with ill families members don't have an easy accessible way of transportation for those that are wheelchair bound. There are many issues with regular wheel chairs. They are heavy, bulky, don't fold-up to save space, and generally hard to travel with. They also are not particularly useful if the ill family member is suffering from lack of arm strength due to old age or various other diseases such as Cerebral Palsy or Parkinson's Disease. That makes those big wheels useless and just cumbersome to handle. There is, however, a very good substitute for a wheelchair. It is a transport wheelchair, also known as a travel wheelchair.
Families have found that transport chairs are a great option when it comes to travel, whether they go to the hilly Grand Canyon or the flat South Florida, they can always be relied upon for quick and easy transportation of loved ones. Because they are light and sturdy, the person who generally pushes the wheelchair from behind can push longer and farther without fear of getting tired. It is also easier to take turns with other members of the family, especially if the little ones want to help out. They are also easy to fold up and can be stored almost anywhere. A regular wheel chair does not fold, whereas a travel wheelchair will easily fold and fit it to many storage compartment areas it can even fit and be carried in a specially designed tote bag. There is also no need to worry about the wheels because they are so much smaller than a regular wheel chair the chance of damaging them or even the wheels damaging the vehicle is greatly diminished.
Travel wheelchairs can also easily be cleaned because they can be purchased with a tough nylon backing and seat. The nylon is strong, water resistant, and easy to clean. The transport wheel chair can also take on the same attachments as a regular wheel chair such as leg and foot rests, trays, bag attachments, an anti-tipper, and numerous types of seat cushions.
Travel wheelchairs can make taking vacations more pleasant and enjoyable both for the ill family member and for those who push and carry them. They also help make the trip more enjoyable because of their ease of use and travel portability. The transport wheelchair will bring freedom to the family vacation, and allow the family to focus on just having a good time.
