Quick answer: A reclining manual wheelchair costs from KSh 22,000 at our Nairobi CBD shop. The high back reclines from upright to near flat with a headrest and elevating footrests, which shifts weight off the seat bones. That is the single most effective thing you can do for a user who sits more than four hours at a stretch.

What is included in the price

Frequently asked questions

How much is a reclining wheelchair in Kenya?

From KSh 22,000 at Wheelchairs Kenya, including VAT, free fitting, 12-month warranty and delivery. The powered reclining electric version is KSh 95,000.

Why does recline matter for pressure sores?

Sitting upright loads all the user's weight onto the seat bones. Reclining shifts that load onto the back and thighs, restoring blood flow. For a user who cannot shift their own weight, recline every hour is what prevents a wound that takes months to heal.

Is it hard for one caregiver to operate?

No. The recline is assisted, so one person can set it with the user seated. We show the family how at delivery and the anti tippers stop the chair going over backwards.

Should I buy a cushion as well?

Yes. Recline and a proper pressure relief cushion work together. Budget KSh 1,500 to 5,000 and read our cushions guide before choosing.

Not sure this is the right chair?

Send us the user's height, weight and how many hours a day they will sit. We will tell you honestly which model fits, including if it is a cheaper one.
