My husband has a large walker (rollator type) and it fits nicely in the Nova bag. The walker is extra wide and fairly tall. We have traveled with it 2 times so far. Both times we checked the bag as luggage and it traveled with no damage. If you measure your transport chair and compare to the size of the nova bag that should give you a good idea if it will fit. We did that before we ordered and it worked well.

Try measuring the folded transport chair. Then compare those dimensions with the NOVA Travel Bag dimensions. This idea worked well when determining if the bag would accommodate an oversized rollator. Here's hoping that the measuring idea works well for you also.

i am not sure-the travel bag is very large. you have me thinking about my future needs. if the top of the tranpsort chair can be folded, i believe it would be able to fit into the travel bag - i am sure chair can be folder length wise but ?? other wise - not sure. the bag has been a great help for my needs - good luck

They make plastic bags specially for this chair ! It worked flawlessly and was operational in a pinch ( no pun ) !!

It's not rated specifically for vehicle transport due to lightweight material but it was excellent for transporting my sister on outings and doctor appointments. The recline was very helpful for long waits at appointments.

It is a lightweight transfer chair, but it does have an adjustable belt (plastic catch) which will retain the passenger. You could always replace this light restraint with a heavier belt, but if your traveler is a large person or someone who might have seizure disorder, I would take care to use this little chair for short, very well attended transfers. We purchased this chair to transport our daughter (who is 5 foot nothing and 100 lbs) back and forth from the restroom as her normal chair is quite massive and will not fit through the doorway.

I just called Medline customer service and was told that yes, it is compatible, however, the reason why they don't sell leg rests with their Transportation Chairs is b/c they aren't constructed to have weight sticking out in the front and there might be balance (and spilling) issues. The wheel chairs are more balanced. But these leg rests WILL fit. Use at own risk. :)

There are plenty of frame parts to grab while carrying. I would think the bag would serve more to protect the chair than to aid in carrying.

I don't believe so - sorry it's packed away for the winter. You would want to put it in the case and carry itthat way regardless I would think because it's pretty sturdy and fits nicely in the bag. It would be difficult tocarry the chair with just a strap attached to the chair. Good luck!! I love mine!!

Depending how big your lunch is, that should work. I have traveled with my laptop, shoes, change of clothes, wires, and kindle fire.

Here's the response to your question from Medline Online Customer Service: Hello, It is not. we do not have elevating legrests for the transport chairs. Service@Medline.com SH Medline Industries, Inc.

The airlines don't charge for a child's carseat so I doubt they would change you for your walker folded up with no need for a case. Check with the airline you are using. Also if you have the cardboard box it came it you could use it.

Not the best idea to use ANY travel chair as a walker. Technically it " could " be used as a walker. But b/c all travel chairs are light weight, there lis a chance that the chairs may not fully support a loss of balance. Plus there are no hand breaks. Not the safest choice....but people will often use them that way....until something happens.

Unable to comment as I do not ride the bus. If one could find a rectangular hole at the right height, maybe. Also, would it be a weight issue to tote on each outing.

No, not on the chair; but there is a carrying strap on the chair case that the chair comes in/is meant to be transported in.

Hi Verna, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical FW19BL Fly-Weight Transport Chair. This transport chair does need to be pushed as it does not have the large wheels in the back to self propel. A transport chairs purpose is to be easy to maneuver and light weight. If you are looking for a chair that does not need to be pushed a wheel chair is probably more what you are looking for.
