Medline Freedom Plus Bariatric Transport Chair
Weighing only 22 lbs., yet strong enough to support up to 400 lbs., Medline’s Freedom Plus Bariatric Transport Chair is an ideal companion on outings with a caregiver or with loved ones. Its collapsible frame with integrated handles makes it easy to fold, lift and pack in the car, while specially designed features ensure the comfortable ride you want and the accessibility you need.
Wider seat
This bariatric chair features a 22″ seat, which is 2″ to 4″ wider than average transport chair seats. The extra room makes for a more comfortable, relaxed ride. The lightweight yet durable frame supports users weighing up to 400 lb.
Collapsible design
The Freedom Plus Transport Chair’s X-shaped frame is collapsible for easy storage and transport. The vinyl seat folds in half and features soft, built-in handles to make the chair easy to lift and carry.
Elevating leg rests
Adjustable leg rests with calf-support cushions can be elevated to a desired height for greater comfort and to help improve circulation to the legs and feet.
Swing-away foot and leg rests
The height-adjustable footrests easily swing out of the way while users get in and out of the chair, making transfers smoother for users and caregivers alike.
Push-down hand brakes
Keep the chair safely in place while sitting still or during transfers with loop-style hand brakes you simply push down to lock, and pull up to release.

What’s the difference between a transport chair and a wheelchair?
- Medline’s transport chairs are specifically designed to be pushed by a caregiver or another person. While standard wheelchairs can be operated independently by the user, the transport chair’s smaller wheels do not allow for the user to propel themselves. This feature makes transport chairs ideal for pushing people with limited hand and arm strength or coordination.
