Hi Francis, Look into a transport chair. They're quite a bit lighter
than a standard chair and the back is usaully removable. They have 4
smaller wheels rather than the 2 large ones on a regular chair and
therfore it would need to be pushed as there's no way for her propel it
herself. I know that Invacare makes this model and it folds quite
flat. John Mitchell 76 TR6 Shelton, CT
