For some people living with mobility issues, they may need support getting in and out of a vehicle. Transit wheelchairs from Complete Care Shop are built with comfort and durability in mind, as well as weight, in order to safely transport individuals.

With long reach brakes and puncture proof wheels, the user will be secure and safe during transit. We also have bariatric wheelchairs suited for heavier users.
During travel, there may not be room for an individual to stay in their wheelchair, so a folding transit chair is better suited. Once the individual is safely in the vehicle, the wheelchair can be quickly and easily folded for compact and secure storage. Many of our models fold to an almost flat shape, reducing the amount of space it takes up.
