Find a wheelchair for the user
Enter the weight and hip width of the person who will use the wheelchair and how they will get around. We show wheelchairs and scooters that fit – and why each one does.
Models without verified measurements
We don't have all the data for these models. They may fit – check the product details or give us a call.
How the finder works
How wide should the seat be?
Measure the hip width when seated at the widest point and add 2 to 4 cm. A seat that is too narrow presses and rubs; one that is too wide worsens posture and makes the push rims harder to reach.
What weight capacity does the wheelchair need?
The capacity must be higher than the user's weight. Allow at least 5 kg to spare, and with powered chairs and scooters also for shopping or a bag.
Will the wheelchair fit through the door?
The overall width should be at least 4 cm less than the narrowest door you use every day. For manual wheelchairs that is roughly the seat width plus 18 to 23 cm.
Measurements come from the manufacturers. We have verified data for 186 of 186 models.
