Advice from the showroom floor
Will the XS2 Aluminium Transit suit you?
The XS2 Transit is an attendant-pushed chair for outings, appointments and holidays, with a light aluminium frame that is kind to the person lifting it. The helper gets cable brakes at the push handles for slowing on slopes, and the passenger gets a seat cushion, a lap belt and a backrest whose tension can be adjusted.
It is made in three seat widths, and the right one makes a real difference to comfort, so try it for size in a showroom. Bring whoever will be pushing, fold it together and see how it suits you both. Ring 0800 169 1910 first and we will have one waiting.

The XS2 Aluminium Transit in detail
Drive's updated version of its well-liked XS transit chair. The XS2 keeps a similar light aluminium frame and fits more as standard, including a lap belt, reflectors and armrests that adjust in length.
What you get
- Silver aluminium frame that is light to lift yet sturdy in use
- Hand-operated cable brakes for the attendant, plus long-reach parking brakes on the rear wheels
- Seat cushion and tension-adjustable backrest included
- One-touch lap belt for added security in the seat
- Desk-style padded armrests, so the chair tucks in close to a table
- Armrests that flip up for sideways transfers and adjust in length with a push button
- Solid polyurethane tyres all round, with no punctures to think about
- Reflectors for dusk and dark evenings
Folding and transport
One simple action folds the frame, the backrest drops down by half, and the arms and quick-release footrests come off. That leaves a compact package for a car boot or a hallway cupboard.
Kerbs and transfers
The footrests swing in and out of the way when getting on or off. At the back, stepper tubes with built-in anti-tip wheels help the person pushing to take a kerb steadily.
