The Airgo Ultra Light Transport Chair (Drive Medical model 700-844) is a lightweight folding transport wheelchair designed to be pushed by a caregiver.

A transport chair is the easiest way to get a family member to appointments, shopping trips, and family events when walking long distances is tiring or unsafe. The Airgo is one of the lightest options we carry, so lifting it into a car trunk takes very little effort.

What is the Airgo Ultra Light Transport Chair?

The Airgo Ultra Light Transport Chair is a compact, folding wheelchair for short trips with an attendant. It has a padded seat, padded back, and padded armrests, so the rider stays comfortable on longer outings. Drive Medical designed it to be light enough for one person to lift and fold without tools.

Unlike a self-propelled wheelchair, a transport chair is pushed by someone else. That keeps the frame light, the fold small, and the price practical for families who need dependable mobility help a few times a week.

Who is the Airgo Ultra Light Transport Chair best for?

The Airgo is best for adults who can sit upright and need a caregiver to push them over longer distances. It suits seniors, post-surgery recovery, and people with limited stamina from arthritis, heart or lung conditions, or neurological conditions such as MS. It also works well as a second chair for travel, so your everyday chair stays at home.

Caregivers tend to choose it for three reasons:

• Easy lifting: at about 16 lbs, it is light enough to load alone.
• Small footprint: it folds flat and slides into a trunk, a closet, or behind a door.
• Comfort for the rider: padding on the seat, back, and armrests helps on longer outings.

If you are not sure a transport chair is the right fit, call us. We will ask a few simple questions about how and where you will use it, then recommend the right chair.

What features does the Airgo Ultra Light Transport Chair have?

The Airgo Ultra Light Transport Chair combines a light frame with the comfort and safety features caregivers ask about most. Each feature below is built in, with no extra parts to buy.

• Padded seat, back, and armrests: added cushioning for comfort on longer trips.
• Swing-away, height-adjustable footrests: they flip up and out of the way, so getting in and out is safer. Ankle straps are included.
• Built-in brakes: they add stability when the rider sits down, stands up, or parks.
• Flip-down backrest: easy-touch levers fold the back for compact storage and travel.
• Ergonomic angled handles: they give both the caregiver and the rider more shoulder room.
• Rear storage compartment: a handy pocket for a phone, wallet, or medication.
• Seat belt: included for added safety.
• Reflectors in the forks: better visibility at night.
• Tool-free setup: unfold it and it is ready to use.

Is a transport chair or a wheelchair better for me?

A transport chair is better when a caregiver will do the pushing, and a self-propelled manual wheelchair is better when the rider wants to move independently. The Airgo is a transport chair, so it is lighter and folds smaller than most self-propelled models. If the rider needs to travel alone, consider a manual wheelchair instead.

For riders who want to drive themselves with a joystick and still travel light, our lightweight power wheelchairs are worth a look. The Travel Buggy AeroLux 2C folds small enough for a car trunk and an airline cabin.

How do I choose the right size and try the Airgo in person?

Choose the Airgo when the rider’s hips fit comfortably within a 19-inch seat and the rider is under 250 lbs. Visit our Concord showroom, and we will have you sit in the chair, check the footrest height, and show you the fold. A good fit matters, so we take a few minutes to get it right.
