Manual Wheelchairs and Transport Chairs are commonly mixed up by customers and can seem like they hold the same purpose. Some may be inclined to purchase a transport chair thanks to its reduced cost, but they may lack some key abilities that only a manual wheelchair can provide. While these two devices certainly have some similarities, the use-case for each is different. Put simply, Manual Wheelchairs are designed for the individual in the chair to self-navigate, while transport chairs are designed for a caregiver to push.
