Q. How does the Medline Hybrid 2 function as both a transport and standard
wheelchair?
A. The Medline Hybrid 2 easily converts between a self-propelled wheelchair
and a caregiver-assisted transport chair. Its large 24" rear wheels can be
quickly removed without tools, revealing built-in 8" transport wheels—allowing
seamless transitions in just seconds.
Q. Is this Medline Transport Wheelchair suitable for full-day use?
A. Yes, it’s built for comfort and reliability throughout the day. Padded
nylon upholstery offers breathability, and desk-length arms provide support
while making it easier to sit at tables or desks.
Q. Can the Hybrid 2 wheelchair fit in small vehicles for outings?
A. Yes, the chair’s foldable blue steel frame and quick-release wheels make
it compact for storage in car trunks or small vehicles. Weighing 33 pounds in
wheelchair mode and 24 pounds in transport mode, it’s manageable for caregivers
to lift, ideal for doctor visits or social trips.
Q. Does this lightweight wheelchair come fully assembled?
A. Yes, the Medline Hybrid 2 comes fully assembled. All you need to do is
unpack it and it’s ready to go—ideal for immediate use at home or in care
facilities.
Q. How do the footrests option in Medline Hybrid 2 folding chair improve
user experience?
A. The 18" seat width model offers swing-away footrests or elevating leg
rests with padded calf supports. Swing-away footrests simplify entry and exit,
while elevating leg rests reduce swelling for users with edema or post-surgical
needs, providing tailored comfort and support for diverse medical conditions.
Q. How does the anti-tipper feature enhance safety for users?
A. The included anti-tippers prevent the foldable transport chair from
tipping backward, providing added security during transitions between wheelchair

reassuring for caregivers assisting users with balance issues or limited
mobility.
