In the preferred embodiment, a portable inflatable seat is positioned to the two seat rail tubes with brackets. Upon the top of a lower frame is stack mounted a plurality of box-like inflatable seat bags. An air pump unit with battery is removably attached to the back of the wheelchair. A control unit is also removably to the wheelchair and a control box is attached to the armrest and to the control unit. When turned on, the air pump unit will inflate the seat bags. The user will be elevated to a height of about 6 inches or so. As an additional feature, a tilt seat bag is attached to the top of the highest inflatable seat bag. Its inflation will cause the seat to tilt forward allowing the user to more easily dismount.
