Days Swift
Our verdict
The Days Swift weighs 12.5 kg complete and 11.2 kg without footrests, with a 115 kg limit and a 28 cm folded width.
Best for: occasional users up to 115 kg who want a light chair that folds narrow for a small car boot.
Not for: full-time users or anyone travelling seated in a vehicle: Performance Health describes it as “Designed for occasional indoor or outdoor use” and does not say it is crash tested.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
We found no conflicting figures, but Performance Health’s UK product page is the only maker document for the Swift we could open, so there was nothing to compare it against. The owner’s manuals we found online were copies of a version written for the Australian market, which we did not use.
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Wheelchairs UK: 9 Models Checked Against Their Makers’ Documents, where it is ranked number 5. The guide names each document and explains how the products were ranked.
Specifications are shown as the maker prints them in its own product page, leaflet or manual, read on the date given. Where a price is shown it names the seller and the date. We have not physically tested these products, and no maker or retailer can pay to be listed or placed higher. Not sure what suits you? An occupational therapist or your local wheelchair service can advise.
