Wheelchair for seniors: lightweight and easy to fold

A wheelchair for seniors is typically lightweight and easy to fold. Elderly wheelchairs are different from regular ones in many regards:

• Senior wheelchairs have small 6 inch to 8 inch wheels. Some models, like the Airgo Comfort-Plus XC or the Invacare senior transport wheelchair, have 12 inch rear wheels.
• They are made specifically to be rolled by caregivers, a companion, or a family member. Some wheelchairs for seniors models have even handbrakes.
• In general, they have a light weight. We are talking here about Aluminum or Carbon Fiber wheelchairs. Carbon fiber products are rare and by far much more expensive than steel or Aluminum ones.
• Price of a wheelchair for seniors would differ based on: frame material and available comfort options.
