A patient transport apparatus with a seat assembly to support a patient. A rear assembly pivots between first and second rear positions, and a stair rear position. A ski is selectively pivotable relative to the rear assembly between a plurality of ski positions. A carrier is coupled between the rear assembly and the ski and is operable between: an unlocked state where relative movement between the ski and the rear assembly is permitted, and a locked state where the carrier inhibits relative movement between the ski and the rear assembly. Movement of the rear assembly from the first rear position towards the second rear position changes operation of the carrier from the unlocked state to the locked state such that continued movement of the rear assembly into the rear stair position arranges the rear assembly and the ski for engagement with stairs.
