Days Transit Wheelchair
Our verdict
The Days Transit Wheelchair is crash tested but weighs 21 kg and Performance Health publishes no maximum user weight, so it ranks last for anyone lifting it into a car.
Best for: care homes or households where the chair stays mostly indoors and is rarely lifted.
Not for: lifting into a car boot, at 21 kg, or any user who needs a confirmed weight limit before buying.
Based on the maker's published documents. We have not physically tested this product.

Where the maker’s own documents disagree
Performance Health’s page is the only Days document we could find, so there is nothing to compare it against. It lists “Weight 21kg (3st)” and no maximum user weight. One dealer we checked, Essential Aids, lists a maximum user weight of 115kg; we could not find that figure in any Performance Health document.
Where these figures come from
We read the maker's documents for this product when we wrote Best Transit Wheelchairs UK: 10 Models Checked Against Their Makers’ Documents, where it is ranked number 10. 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.
