compact storage. It’s a convenient choice for caregivers or facilities needing
mobility without compromising comfort.
Q. Can someone self-propel in Guardian reclining wheelchair?

frequent use. This robust construction supports up to 300 lbs, offering
long-term reliability for users in home or care settings.

accessibility for shorter users?
