Airline Type Wheelchair

Question: I am looking for a very narrow wheelchair to get someone into the bathroom and back out. I was thinking of the type that the airlines use to bring a handicapped person up a plane aisle. I called a couple of airlines but they have no idea who can answer this question. Snowbird

 

Answer: Columbia Medical offers a few airline-style chairs, including the AisleMaster, TravelAide and TransportMate. Other transport chairs - the Comfort Orthopedic or the Convaid Compax, for example - are not as narrow as wheelchairs specially designed for airplane aisles, but they tend to be lightweight. And, unless you get a heavy duty model, they may be narrower than a standard chair.
