Could this carry a wheelchair?

I might be able to carry one of the type that folds up flat, not a full size non foldable one.

Probably. It is strong, well-designed and easily holds our 2 bikes. I think you'd need a couple of bungee cords or luggage straps.

I can't say for sure, but I don't see why it couldn't. I would think each arm of the wheelchair could rest on the slots made for the bikes. I would think the two(2) carrier would work best. As far as weight concerns, there should be no problem. I have been very impressed with this rack so far. I have have it strapped so tightly to the Prius, that when you try to wiggle the rack, the car moves with it.

Oh Steve! I have absolutely no experience with wheel chairs and I would not want to steer you wrong on that. I'll tell you what, I will say this much. This rack is very adjustable and stable when installed correctly and I am pretty sure it's plenty strong. As for it's basic configuration, though, I'm afraid I can't speak to that. I was impressed by the lack of movement of this rack when I installed it on my 2007 Prius. I hope that helps a little. Good luck, Steve!

Yes- just like a 'real' wheelchair would. It is really a sturdy set. We have 'older' AG dolls and one lost it's leg (fixed now) but 'she' used the chair all the time and it still looks new. I highly recommend these.

This is not the picture of a "transport chair"... the wheelchair that you need to lift in and out of a car has smaller wheels and is only about 20 pounds. This picture shows a regular "hospital" wheelchair that is not meant for lifting in and out of cars.

It's not easy to go over threshholds because the wheels are relatively small. Have to wrestle with it. A regular wheelchair works better there, with a notch on the back that the steering party can put their foot on to raise the front wheel slightly as needed. & the large wheels make it easier to push too. Can't speak to carpet, but almost tumbled my Mom out trying to do down a cobble stoned ramp at an art show in the streets. This chair is handy sometimes, but a real wheelchair probably works best for long-term situations. Mom used it to push her laundry to the laundry room yesterday...

I am not sure of your question? but if you mean, can it be attached in some way to carry along, I think it might be able to be attached in some way, because it is so lightweight. The back folds down easily...where you see the handles, there are tabs when you push and that entire back can fold down to make the chair easier to store or load. But I cannot state with certainty you can carry it on an electric wheelchair as we have not done so and don't have one. Just have a heavy-weight regular chair and this is a second chair.

I believe it can. I store my power wheel chair which is a couple hundred pounds plus other items.

I don't actually have a wheelchair, I use it to transport my snow thrower back and forth to my mom's house. Like the others, I use ratchet tie down straps, which you can get at the local Tractor Supply store, or Lowes, or Home Depot.

I am not sure about the wheelchair. It probably will. It has enough room to hold my husband's electric cart. The wheelchair would probably fit. Take the measurements of the wheelchair and see if the carrier is wide enough for the wheelchair. You will probably need to tie the wheelchair to the carrier with tie downs for safety reasons, which is what we do with the electric cart, and the tie downs are easily removed when you want to unload the chair.

I just looked at the wheelchair online. That cup holder might work. From the looks of the chair, it would fit around the bar below the padded armrest. The cup holder is very well designed and it also fits a cane as well as a walker. It comes with special cane attachments. They might work on your wheelchair. A friend of mine who uses a cane and a wheelchair, bought the same cup holder at my suggestion. I've asked her how it works. I'll post again when she answers back. Why not just go ahead, try it and see. I'm sure you can return the cup holder if it doesn't work. It's easy to install and has two side vents for mug handles. Good luck!

Yes, I also have an extra wide wheelchair. It worked out great we recently took it on a trip to New Orleans and I put my purse in it.

I believe that this chair requires a min. 25" width clearance. So obviously someone could push the wheelchair thru a 26" wide door or use your feet (if possible) to 'walk' thru, however self propelling by using the back wheels would be difficult - not a lot of extra elbow room/most likely scraped fingers.

Great question, it is possible to get a wheelchair in into this blind but it can be a bit of a challenge. You would need either stake the door open very wide or physically hold them open. Overall, I think you'll be ok. Just practice going in and out with the chair so you don't jeopardize your stealth. Happy hunting!

I don't think so. It is smaller (shorter) than a standard chair. I have to use cushions for myself and I am 5 feet 2. Although a woman at church has one and she is six foot, and she helps whom ever is pushing her by using her feet. The wheelchair legs are very short. I hope I helped. It is a great chair.

Yes it will definitely work with a wheelchair. Although like anything else , your clothes will shift every couple of hours . Just make adjustments acorddenly

Yes actually it can. I don't know how much weight it's rated for but did hold up a 300 lb person. However, very uncomfortable. The arms are flimsy and useless. I sent the chair back.

yes it can, but don't plan on carrying it too far since there is not a lot of support in the straps.
