Comfortable and easy to use

 
4.3 / 5
Strengths:

I don't have any problems getting the chair into the trunk and out. He finds it comfortable for sitting around the house and it affords a little mobility that way.

Weaknesses:

No real problems, but it is just one more thing taking up space in the house.

4.0 / 5
Strengths:

The larger rear wheels make it easier to use over certain surfaces. With help, I was even able to take my mother out onto the beach last week.

Weaknesses:

My only complaint, I feel, is a major flaw in the design. I have discovered no way of setting the brakes so I can help my mother out of the chair. By the need of using the hand brakes, you are not free to assist a person trying to sit or get up from the chair.

Reviewer:
User Details:

My mother is 94 and does walk short distances with a walker. I use the transporter when taking her shopping or on walks through parks and such.

4.0 / 5
Strengths:

Lightweight and folds to an acceptable small volume (easily folds to store in car trunk).

Weaknesses:

It is bothered by slight elevations like moderate door sills.
