Folds in Seconds – Truly Portable

Transfer wheelchairs need to be light, easy to handle, and foldable in mere seconds. The BOBBY delivers on all three counts. With its removable footrests, foldable backrest, and two convenient pull straps, you can collapse this chair in an instant. The folded width is just 27 centimetres, making it incredibly easy to store in car boots, taxi trunks, overhead train luggage racks, or hotel cupboards.

Lightweight at just 12.2 kg

Weighing only 12.2 kilograms, the BOBBY is easy to lift, carry, and manoeuvre. The two pull handles allow you to carry the folded chair with you during transport – perfect for moving through busy airports, train stations, or up a flight of stairs.

Supports Up to 115 kg

Despite its lightweight design, the BOBBY is built to last. It safely supports users up to 115 kilograms, complying with the highest quality norms certified by independent test institutes across Europe.

Comfort Features for the User

The BOBBY is designed with the passenger’s comfort in mind. Padded armrests provide a comfortable place to rest your arms during longer journeys. The backrest stands 38 centimetres high, offering good upper body support. The seat height is 50 centimetres, which is a comfortable height for transfers from beds, chairs, or cars.

Adjustable Footrests for a Personalised Fit

The footplates are angle-adjustable, allowing you to find the most comfortable leg position. Adjustable heel straps keep your feet securely in place. The footrests are also removable, making transfers in and out of the chair much easier.

Two Manual Brakes for Safety

Safety is paramount. The BOBBY is equipped with two manual brakes, allowing the attendant to lock the wheels securely when transferring the user in or out of the chair, or when parked on any slight incline.

Includes a Safety Belt

For added security, the BOBBY comes with a safety belt. This provides extra reassurance when travelling over uneven surfaces or during transfers, keeping the user securely positioned in the chair.

Easy to Maintain

The BOBBY requires very little maintenance, making it a hassle-free rental choice. Its simple, robust design means fewer things to go wrong, giving you peace of mind during your time in Paris.
