Looking for a reasonably priced wheelchair with anti-tippers (UK)

Hi all,
I want to get a cheap (ish) wheelchair for daytrips and the like, as I struggle to be out for more than a couple of hours on my crutches. I'm quite petite, so any wheelchair I have needs to have anti-tippers as I tip a LOT, and don't really enjoy the idea of ending up flat on my back like a turtle!
Does anyone know of any reasonably priced chairs that have anti tippers? Or one that I could attach the tippers to?
Thank you!

Hi @emily95
Welcome to the community!
I can't recommend a specific wheelchair but thought you might find this DLF factsheet on selecting a wheelchair of interest:
