*Suggestions/advice please*
I am currently starting to look at replacing my powerchair. I am not sure I am up to it yet (currently use a WAV) but I was thinking I need to consider it as have had my current chair 10 years. Do any of you have a powerchair that adjusts (tilts/reclines) that is light enough/ possible to be hoisted into a car? If so what make and model please.
Thanks in advance.
I hope everyone is having a good weekend

Hi @hdeakin, I hope people will be able to help! Have you ever had a wheelchair assessment?
Also, can you just confirm what chair you currently have. Thanks!Scope -

Thank you @Chloe_Scope I currently have a balder f280. I have tilt, recline, lift, leg elevating and articulating foot rests.
I have not been assessed by wheelchair services yet. I am hoping to sort a referral soon. I have been assessed at EPC in Farnborough. Thanks -
