Travel Wheelchairs

Every vacation is an opportunity to experience the adventure of a lifetime. And with the right wheelchair, nothing will stand in your way. The right wheelchair gives you the freedom to travel anywhere and everywhere with ease. Whether you’re on a family road trip, a dream vacation to Disneyland, or a Caribbean cruise, a travel wheelchair can make all the difference.

No matter where you are going, you’ll want to make sure your travel wheelchair is:

• Compact: To avoid hassles, your wheelchair should easily fold up at the door of an airplane or to fit into the trunk of an automobile. 
• Lightweight: A lightweight wheelchair lets you keep up with the group and lifts into cars, buses or other transportation easily.
• Durable: When traveling, you don’t want to get stuck because your wheelchair broke down or you have a flat tire.
• Adaptable: You won’t want to miss out on eating at a special restaurant or seeing that great view because your wheelchair can’t easily maneuver in tight spaces or on rough terrain.
• Comfortable: You shouldn’t have to sacrifice the right support when traveling.

Convaid's Travel Wheelchairs

Unlike bulkier traditional wheelchairs, Convaid’s travel wheelchairs are designed for trouble-free transport and storage, while maintaining the highest levels of safety. They fold up quickly and easily, to roughly the size of a small golf bag. They fit into the trunk of the family car, and we have specially-designed travel bags to make storage and transport even easier! They also fit into overhead storage on planes, trains, or buses, making them incredibly versatile for all types of transportation. And, our folding wheelchairs are light enough to be lifted in and out of the trunk or other storage area by just one person.

Convaid’s travel wheelchairs offer not only outstanding portability and ease of storage, they are also incredibly maneuverable in tighter spaces like restaurants, busy museums, and shops. Their swiveling front wheels allow for superb handling and tight turn radiuses.

Although all of Convaid’s lightweight wheelchairs are excellent for travel, you might want to take a closer look at the following:

Durable & Built to Last

Convaid’s travel wheelchairs may cost a bit more than others, but they’ll swiftly prove to be worth every additional penny. They offer greater durability and superior construction to less expensive, lower quality wheelchairs. Our wheelchairs are built to withstand the rigors of travel, frequent packing and unpacking, and less than ideal storage conditions—even on airplanes, where baggage and cargo handlers can be a bit rough, to say the least. They won’t break down after a few bumps, or even after being dropped, and so won’t leave you far from home with a broken chair. And, if they do break down, Convaid has a number of dealers throughout the United States to perform repairs quickly and easily.

No matter where your journey takes you, a wheelchair from Convaid will be up to the task. Whether you’re traversing gravel, dirt, turf, even cobblestones, our travel chairs offer a comfortable ride and easy handling to get over any terrain. They’re easy to clean, should your outdoor adventures leave your wheelchair with a bit of “road dust,” and any adjustments that may be necessary can be achieved with a few simple wrenches and a little know-how.
