The Glide 1 is an attendant-pushed transit wheelchair made in Australia with a folding stainless steel frame. It is the kind of chair hospitals and aged care homes run for years, and it suits a home where a carer does the pushing and the chair needs to last.
Why it works
- Stainless steel frame shrugs off knocks, rain and years of daily use
- Folds for the car boot and for storage
- Swing-away, removable legrests and removable armrests make transfers and getting close to a table easier
- Durable vinyl upholstery wipes clean
- Removable calf strap keeps feet on the footplates
- Tested to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3695:2009
- Three seat widths and a choice of polished steel, Island Blue or Merlot frame

Choosing a size
Measure hip width when seated and add about 25mm each side. Then check the overall width – the 460mm seat gives a 630mm-wide chair, which still fits most internal doorways.
