Drive Medical TraveLite Transport Wheelchair 18x18 with Flip-Up Desk Arms & Compact Carry Bag

Traveling with family members or elderly parents often turns stressful when forced to haul heavy, rigid mobility equipment through crowded spaces. The wheelchair for travel with flip-up desk arms (Drive Medical TraveLite) is precision-engineered to eliminate travel hassles by collapsing into an ultra-compact footprint that slips directly into its included zippered storage bag. Built for vacation trips, airport terminals, shopping excursions, and tight apartment corridors, this nimble companion transport chair comfortably accommodates adult passengers up to 250 lbs without weighing down caregivers.

Practical comfort and effortless handling are integrated into every inch of the TraveLite design. Its square 18″ × 18″ nylon seating canvas provides balanced pelvic and lumbar support, complete with built-in dual lift-up straps that fold the chair inward in a single upward motion. Padded desk-length armrests flip upright out of the way on durable pivot joints, allowing riders to pull flush against restaurant tables, study carrels, and cafe counters without bumping arm pads, while also opening an unobstructed pathway for side transfers. Fitted with 8-inch flat-free solid puncture-proof tires, height-adjustable front footrests, and reliable foot-activated rear parking wheel locks, the TraveLite glides smoothly across indoor hardwood, carpet, and outdoor sidewalks with zero maintenance downtime.

Simple Setup, Folding & Care Guidance

To deploy the chair, remove it from the travel bag, unfold the side frames, and push downward firmly on the seat edges until the canvas is completely taut. Pull the backrest upright until the locking hinges click into position, then mount the footrests and set the footplate height so feet rest level. To fold for travel, lift the footplates, drop the folding backrest, and pull upward on the center nylon seat straps to collapse the frame inward before sliding it into the carry bag. Always step down on both rear wheel locks to park the chair before assisting a passenger into or out of the seat. Clean the frame and nylon canvas using a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and warm water, towel-drying completely before storing.
