We use this at our small RCFE

Lightweight

Sits too low and makes it difficult for client to get out of it

Very lightweight, easy to fold and transport. Nice styling. This chair suited my needs – moving a moderate sized person over relatively short distances. But if you will be transporting a heavy person or using the chair in a hilly area, consider getting one with large rear wheels. That makes it much easier to push, but is much heavier to lift in and out of a vehicle.

When folding the chair parts for transport and storage, the wheels can be folded back onto the chair, but there is no "latch" to hold them in place, so they constantly swing around (in 2 different directions!), making it clumsy and difficult to get the chair in and out of a vehicle. Until the legs are snapped into place for use, they tend to bang into the caregiver's legs, causing bruising or scratches, if you are not careful – which of course is very annoying. I created a “workaround” by using 2 bungy cords to hold the legs in place, but a locking mechanism should have been designed into the chair.

Bought for an 86 year woman who can walk on her own, but tires after a block or two. Used to take her on touring outings, shopping malls or streets,
