Lightweight W/12" Rear Wheels

The hand brakes for the person pushing the patient. Very helpful going down an incline, ramp.

Plastic wheels and foot rests.

Elderly person with ability to walk only short distances.

Extremely light weight and sturdy.

Lack of wheel locks easily operated by patient

john b. from dallas, tx

I am a 65 year old woman with MS. The lack of brakes that I can set when alone is a problem for me.

It is lightweight, easy to store, good for small apartment storage

Very hard to push over any obstructions like potholes or metal cover ups over construction. Would not use for more than a few blocks of travel.

john j. from new york, ny (caregiver)

65 year old man who has difficulty walking after spinal surgery

built strong

footrests need work. not easy for my wife to steer or transport in our car

andrew c. from cape may court house, nj

63 old stroke victim

lightweight

flimsy, not conducive to feeling secure.

lydia d. from clifton park, ny (caregiver)

age 65 female, very light weight, Peripheral Neuropathy in feet-unable to walk a step (not related to Diabetes)

More stable, easier to navigate rough terrain.

Foot pedals on smaller wheeled chair opened sideways instead of up and down. I, as caregiver, must unlatch the pedals for him to stand and exit the chair. It is more difficult to push him up to a table in a restaurant. I wish we had known about the foot pedals before buying it. We have returned to using the old chair.

Husband, age 77, stroke survivor

The light weight and compactablility.

the removable leg supports r hard to work and have bent after 3 uses. the chair is narrow and hard to get in and out of for my 200 lb father. If you hit a bump, it will tip.

kim j. from baltimore, md (caregiver)

90 yr old with CHF. able to walk but short distances. Can get up and down by himself, slowly. Lives independanatly.

Lightweight.portable

Needs brake where user can lock. User unable to get in without assistance.

margaret r. from greensboro, nc (caregiver)

User is physically and mentally disabled...aphasia, apraxia and paralyzed on right side

hand brakes are nice and construction good, but {again} when putting person in chair, no brakes from keeping it from rolling

no way to keep feet rest on in transit, and no brakes to keep from rolling while helping person into chair

audelia c. from dyer, in (caregiver)

my mother who is in a nursing home

it folds up and is lighter for my daughter to put in her trunk when she takes me out.

seems flimsy and not easy to push. The brakes don't hold on uneven surfaces.

nadine b. from cincinnati, oh

fractured spine - 79 years old - severe arthritis - can only walk a few steps with a walker.

Lightweight

Could be an inch or 2 wider, for a more comfortable seat. The foot petal parts come loose and fall off too easily.

gertrude c. from east falmouth, ma (caregiver)

We are using this to transport an elderly relative with mobility issues.

it's portable and folds away nicely

sometimes hard to push someone who is 205 pounds--yet the product says up to 250 pounds

It serves its purpose
