Description
The Ezee Life CH1090-18 is an 18 inch economy folding wheelchair from Canadian Med Healthcare. Westin Healthcare sells it and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. This is a standard wheelchair with 24 inch rear wheels and pushrims. The person in the seat can self-propel, or a caregiver can push from the handles.
Ezee Life's current CH1090-18 page lists an 18 inch by 16 inch seat, a 19.5 inch seat height, a 300 lb weight capacity, and a 34 lb steel frame. Front casters are 8 inches. Tires are solid and flat-free. Arms are fixed and full length. Swing-away footrests are standard.
Who this chair is for
This chair is for a person who needs an 18 inch seat for short trips or occasional use, and who may still self-propel on 24 inch wheels. Families usually call us when they want a basic steel chair without extra hardware, or when a store or clinic needs a simple loaner.
If you want removable arms and a standard (not economy) 18 inch steel chair, see the Ezee Life CH1093. If you only need a companion-pushed chair with small rear wheels, look at a transport chair such as the Drive Poly-Fly TR18. For the rest of the everyday self-propel range, see our standard wheelchairs.

Design and build
The CH1090-18 is a steel folding frame. Pull up on the seat to fold it for the car or a closet. The rear wheels are 24 inches with pushrims, which is how the person self-propels. Front casters are 8 inches. Tires are solid, so there is no inner tube to flatten.
Arms are fixed and full length. They do not come off for a side transfer the way the CH1093 arms do. Footrests swing away and come off. Upholstery is PVC vinyl. Ezee Life describes this model as a low-priced chair that covers the basic needs for short trips and occasional use, not as an all-day ultra-light frame.

Funding help for a manual wheelchair in Ontario
Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) can fund 75% of the cost of a manual wheelchair when the need is long-term and the chair is prescribed through an assessment by an ADP-registered occupational therapist or physiotherapist, and some income-support programs cover the full cost. Not every chair qualifies, so talk to us before you buy. March of Dimes Canada, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), and community programs can also help. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through.
Delivery and setup in Brampton and the GTA
Westin's own team delivers and sets up this chair across Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. We bring it in, unfold it, and show you the brakes, the fold, and the footrests before we leave.

Frequently asked questions
Is the CH1090-18 a transport chair or a standard wheelchair?
It is a standard wheelchair. Ezee Life titles it an economy 18 inch wheelchair and lists it with the economy models, not with the transport chairs (those are CH1041 to CH1044). The 24 inch rear wheels and pushrims are the giveaway. A transport chair has small rear wheels and is pushed by a companion only.
Who can self-propel this chair?
A person who can reach the pushrims and has the arm strength for their own terrain can self-propel. A caregiver can still push from the handles. Ezee Life writes that this model provides independent or dependent mobility.
What are the pushrims for?
Pushrims are the metal hoops on the 24 inch rear wheels. The person in the seat holds those hoops to roll, slow, or turn the chair. They are the difference between a self-propel wheelchair and a companion-only transport chair.
Will this chair fold into a car trunk?
The steel frame folds. Ezee Life prints a folded width of 10.5 inches and 34 lbs for the chair. Flip the footplates up, or take the footrests off, before you lift. Come into a Brampton or Toronto store if you want to try the fold on your vehicle.
How should the 18 inch seat fit?
Measure the person's hip width and leave a little room on each side. Ezee Life lists 18 inches wide by 16 inches deep. If 18 inches is tight, ask us about the 20 inch CH1094 or the 22 inch CH1091.
What is the weight capacity?
Ezee Life lists 300 lbs for CH1090-18. If the person is near 300 lbs, tell us before we book delivery so we can confirm the chair is the right class.
Why 24 inch wheels instead of 12 inch transport wheels?
24 inch wheels with pushrims let the person wheel themselves and roll more easily over small thresholds. They make the chair a little wider and harder to lift than a transport chair. Choose 24 inch wheels when independence matters. Choose a transport chair when a companion will always push and you want a lighter lift.
Can I get elevating legrests on the CH1090-18?
Use Legrest Type if the order needs elevating hangers instead of the standard swing-away footrests. Ezee Life's CH1090-18 card lists swing-away footrests as the standard hangers. Call (905) 451-7743 if you want us to confirm the hanger style before delivery.
What is the warranty on the CH1090-18?
One year against manufacturing defects, faulty materials, and workmanship, for the original purchaser. Wear, accident, misuse, and improper assembly are not covered. Westin Healthcare processes the claim. Details are on our service and repairs page.
Does funding help with this wheelchair in Ontario?
Some Ontario routes can help with mobility equipment, and eligibility depends on the person's situation and assessment. Call (905) 451-7743 or use the funding page before you buy. We will point you to the right path for your case.
Can I rent a wheelchair before I buy?
Westin Healthcare rents chairs for short-term needs. See the folding wheelchair rental page and the transport wheelchair rental page. A rental chair may be a different model than the CH1090-18. Call (905) 451-7743 to check what is on the floor.
What is included with CH1090-18?
You get the 18 inch steel folding wheelchair with fixed full-length arms and the hangers you pick under Legrest Type (swing-away or elevating). A cushion is not listed as included on Ezee Life's page.
