    That sounds brilliant for your trips to gardens. As you say, not for me because of the need for tilt, but I think it's good to have these recommendations on the thread so others can see them too!
    Yes! I coveted that and told the OT about it. But I also noticed that his corridors are two or three times the size of mine.

    The extent of the tilt I need is challenging, as most power chairs that tilt are designed to do it to reduce pressure/give a slightly different position only.

    For a narrow indoor-friendly chair without major tilt, this one looks interesting:

    This one looks like it could work. There's an image of a kind of scrunched up tilt which would work fine for stopping a faint:

    This image is of an Invacare TDX power chair, and is the only image I've seen that shows a close-to-horizontal tilt. If the image doesn't come through, it's in here somewhere: https://www.invacare.ie/sites/ie/fi..._docs/DSAL008451_TDX2_Ultra_Brochure 7.22.pdf

    I'm finding this website brilliant for giving you the information you actually want:

    They're in Surrey, UK.

    At the end of their detailed product descriptions, there's a verdict section, where they link to other chairs that might suit aka the competition for the model you're looking at:
    So valuable.
