Lightweight Comet 300

Light-weight and footrests.

High seat and very high arm rests, does not fit at all.

howard w. from reno, nv (caregiver)

72 Years old, 150lbs, paralyzed on left side because of a stroke.

Light weight. Nice, if there was a way to adjust the height of the seat to raise it a little higher. Also a grab bar near the handle so the person can grab it while pulling themselves up to sit in the chair.

Seat is a little lower than expected. First time my wife sat in it, the chair and her almost flipped over backwards.

use as a transport around house for my wife 114 lbs, small enough to go into all rooms

Lightweight but sturdy.

The brakes operate opposite of what I am used to on all other transport chairs, takes some getting used to.

The width of the seat and it's light weight.

The footrests. They are difficult to adjust and do not drop low enough for my tall husband.

This is so much easier to use instead of having to take apart and fold my husband's regular wheelchair.I am now able to leave it in the garage and use

Folding and size

Advertised as extra wide seat. A 300 lb person doesn't fit in 19 inch seat.

laurie b. from zimmerman, mn

62 yr old with limited walking ability weighs 300 lbs. Heart and back surgeries.

This little chair is open on the sides, meaning that my daughter's hips are not pressured. The chair zips around and is lightweight. It turns on a dime. We only use it in the house and don't use the foot rests. I like where the arm pads end. The front of the chair arm is metal tubing which my daughter is easily able to grab on the way down. All in all, the chair has been great for our particular needs.

I wish the chair weren't quite as wobbly as it is. It may be sturdier than it feels. It's been an inconvenience for me to have to reach around the front of the chair to reach the breaks, like in the washroom. The eyelets punched through the material have sharp edges. My husband is going to press the edges down.

quality

tires are pretty slick

gary l. from lincoln, ne (caregiver)

my wife(age64)has spent years walking with right knee locked,with tendons and ligaments slowly stretching, our bathroom doors are only 21 inches wide

My father's existing wheelchair is too wide to fit through the door to the bathroom at our home so I got this one. It is very narrow and goes through perfectly. Also lightweight so that its easy to transport.

A bit flimsy although I guess that is part of the lightweight part. Also the footrests are a bit too high.

My Mom....99 yrs. old, has her faculties but has fallen sev. times...no broken bones...is now in nursing home....lived with me for 11 yrs......unable

Light weight, easy to handle, folds up to a small size so I have room in the trunk for other things.

The one thing I do not like is that the footrests must be removed when the chair is folded for transport. I guess it is intended to be that way.
