The Invacare Tracer SX5 is an affordable, yet solid manual wheelchair that has a variety of size options and additional extras including anti tippers that allow you to adapt the chair to perfectly suit your needs. There are also two armrest length options that can be flipped back to give the user more room.

This is the best all terrain manual wheelchair if you need the flexibility for different leg positions. The footrests are available in different materials with or without heel loops. However, what is really great about them is that they offer three forms of leg elevation.

What are its best features?

  • What we liked about this chair is its customization potential. There are options to design the chair format to suit the specific needs of the user. This versatility makes this chair a jack of all trades that can suit any needs. Whether you want to adjust the footrests, adjust the armrests or add optional extras, you can create a chair that fits you perfectly for proper fit and comfort.

What could be improved?

  • One potential negative is that this customization does come at a cost and the chair is certainly not the most inexpensive option on the market. There are some complaints that while the chair is good, it is not great quality. There are other chairs available that offer similar quality and features for a slightly cheaper price. So, if you’re looking for a chair for long term care, you want to compare to other models with this feature set before making your final purchase decision.
