Frequently Asked Questions
-
While Travel Buggy chairs are designed to stay compact, the locking hook provides an extra layer of security. It ensures the frame remains tightly closed while you are lifting it into a car trunk or handling it during air travel, preventing the chair from "springing" open unexpectedly.
-
Not at all. The hook is designed for simplicity. It requires a basic looping motion between the backrest and the lower frame. Most users find they can secure or release it in just a couple of seconds with minimal effort.
-
The Locking Hook is typically sold as a single unit, as one sturdy connection point between the backrest and the seat frame is sufficient to keep the entire unit locked in its folded state.
-
Yes. When the chair is unfolded and in use, you can simply leave the hook attached to the backrest bar or the under-seat frame. It is small and unobtrusive, so it won't interfere with your comfort or the chair's operation.
-
While specifically designed and tested for the geometry of Travel Buggy frames (like the CITY 2 and DASH), the universal hook-style design may work with other folding power chairs that have a similar frame diameter. However, for the most secure fit, it is best used with official Travel Buggy models.
