What To Look For In A Mobility Chair
If you are physically disabled you have more options than ever before in how you get from place to place. A very popular choice these days is a mobility chair. It is a small electric powered wheelchair that is ideal for those who might not have the strength to push themselves in a more traditional style of wheelchair. Many grocery stores have these available for customer use. These personal mobility devices will open doors and improve the quality of life for disabled persons everywhere.
There are several types of chairs to consider when making your selection. This is an important purchase so make sure you have done your homework. There are both three and four wheel versions available. This is more than just a cosmetic choice!
The three wheel styles have a much greater mobility and maneuverability. They can be a little harder to drive, however.

A four wheel mobility chair will be very sturdy if you are at all concerned with children or grand children mistaking your chair for a ride. They also can usually bare a heavier load since it is distributed across four tires instead of three. Of course, this is the less maneuverable of the two. Steering is very important and there are multiple options here too. Your mobility chair can have a traditional handle bar steering mechanism or a joystick. Again, this isn't just a stylistic choice, if you have any problems with your arms, you might prefer the easy to use joystick. Tire size will depend on if you will be using it indoors or outside. There are some pretty adventurous mobility chair users out there, make sure you get the tire sized that best suits your needs. Some additional accessories are the size of the basket you want. Around the house a small basket might be fine, but if you intend to do serious shopping (and why not?) a larger basket might be called for. Seating and cushions are all very customizable. If you plan on pulling up to a table, make sure the armrests are not too high. And just when you thought all of these choices had to be super serious, there are lots of cosmetic options you can chose. Some manufacturers will customize a horn or backing siren. Color is, of course, purely up to you. There is a Mobility Chair for every kind of person and every lifestyle. Find yours today. |
