# Mobile Stairlift vs Stryker Evacuation Chair: All you need to know
Mobile Stairlift
January 21, 2022
Emergency evacuation chairs are an excellent way to help a person with mobility impairment navigate stairs quickly and safely in a crisis. While we believe they're an essential part of your [emergency preparedness plan,](https://blog.climbingsteps.com/blog/why-you-need-a-stairlift-and-an-evacuation-chair-for-stairs) it can be tough to choose between competitors.
To help you find the best make and model for your needs, we compare the [Stryker Evacuation Chair](https://www.stryker.com/us/en/emergency-care/products/evacuation-chair.html) and the [Mobile Stairlift EZ Evacuation Chair](https://www.mobilestairlift.com/collections/emergency-stair-chairs/products/mobile-stairlift-evacuation-chair).
However, before we dive in, let’s look at key features of any chair that ensure it’s ultimately safe, and value for money.
##### Essential Features For Your Chosen Evacuation Chair
Before you purchase, confirm that your evacuation chair meets the following basic requirements:
- **A light and durable frame.** During an emergency, the speed of evacuation takes priority without compromising on the safety of the passenger or transporter. A light and durable frame helps you move as quickly as possible by minimizing the load on transporters (also reducing their risk of injury).
- **A reasonable weight load.** The maximum weight your evacuation chair can carry is a key consideration. Robust chairs should be able to carry at least 400lbs to ensure a safe evacuation, every time.
- **Track system.** Emergency evacuation chairs that have a track-system make tricky or tight staircases easier to maneuver. They also help distribute the weight, reducing risk of transporter injury.
- **A warranty.** Any reputable evacuation chair will be accompanied by a warranty and returns policy that safeguards you, in case of manufacturing faults. A good warranty should last for a minimum of 10 years, preferably longer.
- **A build that considers both comfort and safety.** The user of the evacuation chair should be comfortable, yet safe enough to carry. At the least, a good evacuation chair will include headrests, safety belts, an ergonomic seat and padded hand grips.
- A fair price. An evacuation chair is typically meant for emergencies rather than everyday use. It should not cost more than an everyday stairlift. Check out our blog post, [Factors affecting emergency evacuation chair prices](https://blog.climbingsteps.com/blog/factors-affecting-emergency-evacuation-chair-prices) for more information.
Thankfully, both the Stryker Evacuation chair and Mobile Stairlift EZ Evacuation Chair sport these features. However, they’re far from identical.

##### The Differences Between the Mobile Stairlift and Stryker Evacuation Chairs
To showcase the key differences between the two evacuation chairs, we’ve tabulated their main characteristics for a quick-and-easy comparison.
| | **EZ Evacuation Chair** | **Stryker 6254 Evacuation Chair** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Intended Use** | A lightweight chair for safe, quick and easy evacuation in an emergency situation. | An extendable, lightweight emergency evacuation chair. |
| **Frame** | Aluminum | Aluminum |
| **Unit Weight** | 39lbs | 34lbs |
| **Track System** | Yes | Yes |

\*T&Cs apply
While the chairs perform similar functions, you may find yourself investing in a model that isn’t quite as flexible as you’d hoped. While the Stryker model can carry an additional 100lbs than the EZ evacuation Chair, this comes with a hefty price tag that might not be worth it.
Read our [*Ultimate Guide To Emergency Evacuation Chairs*](https://www.mobilestairlift.com/pages/your-ultimate-guide-to-emergency-evacuation-chairs)for more information.
##### Which evacuation chair is right for you?
Ultimately, your choice of chair is determined by your needs. If you’re a home user you may be able to get away with something a little more affordable that’s made for occasional use (check out [our EZ Chair Lite](https://www.mobilestairlift.com/collections/emergency-stair-chairs/products/ez-lite-evacuation-chair)!). However, if you need a more durable chair for your first response team, you’ll need a model that can withstand daily use, like the EZ Evacuation Chair described above.
At Mobile Stairlift, we’ve taken the time to understand the different needs of a person with mobility impairment, and the people who help them traverse stairs during an emergency. That’s why we’ve created two FDA-approved evacuation chairs that serve their intended purpose, without compromising on the safety of the user.
