Jazzy Wheelchair

Question: can these wheel chairs be hauled in a car? If not, is there a hitch or
some way to attach a carrier to transport them?

 

Answer: Some of the power wheelchair models by Jazzy offer compact frames and quick and easy disassembly, which makes it easier to transport them in a vehicle. But taking your wheelchair apart every time you want to haul it in the car isn’t always possible or practical, so you do have other options. Pride Mobility - the company behind Jazzy chairs - has a division called Silver Star Lifts. Their products include lifts for power chairs. There are other manufacturers that specialize in wheelchair lifts, but you might also look into a wheelchair carrier or trailer that you can tow behind your car. Some of them are open trailers, in which case you’d want to get a wheelchair cover to protect the chair from the elements, but you can also find enclosed or covered carriers. Some of the more advanced models offer additional features like a tilt option for easier loading.
