Bariatric Wheelchairs

I am looking for a power chair suitable for a larger person. I tend to find that chairs suitable for a heavier weight do not have a wide enough seat. Can you suggest anything?

 Answer:

Absolutely. Head on over to wheelchairs.com. They sell a the Big Bounder “bariatric power wheelchair” that’s available in seat widths from 21 inches up to 48 inches. The standard version has a weight capacity of 500 pounds, but they can make one that’s rated up to 1,000 pounds.
