I like the smaller size and removeable arms, plus the arms fit under dining table, unlike many others.

One small criticism -- the foot supports swing back when not in use which is good. But when chair is folded to they "flap" and sometimes fall off. If they could fold back to the frame (wheels prevent this now) and if they could clip onto the frame to make a tight package, that would be a welcome change.

Spouse/caregiver. 80 yrs. old -- I'm quite fit - husband has Parkinson's.

as I said above it is very useful for transport.

maybe a little heavier then some but my wife is able to put it in car and remove it ok

amputee, unable to stand so must slide with transfer board, being able to remove arm on chair is very helpful

Access to more rooms and places. and into narrow entries.

Adjust brake lever handles for the amount of tightness on the wheels need to be properly located by the assembler before the final inspection and shipment.

The Go-Kart is great. The hand levers to put the brake on the wheels requires user to adjust by loosening nuts on clamp unit. Both brake handle levers

The strengths are as follows: Ease of use due to maneuverability and is light weight.Arms detach for sliding onto the seat. Seat is more comfortable than his standard wheelchair.Has a seat belt for added security of user. Has areas, foot rests, at back where you can put your foot so you can tilt the chair up a bit to go over a threshold. Back folds down making entire unit into a small package to fit with ease into a cars trunk.

Frame (feels) a bit weaker than I thought. Will tolerate the weight as specified but had a bit of a fragile feeling to it when I go over our front threshold with it.

Double amputee both above the knee with CHF 55 years of age.

Small enough for our use

Not high enough

roger f. from suffolk, va (caregiver)

Spouse has ALS. Used for general short travel and to have access to shower as doors to bathroom are approx. 22 inches

The ease of the removeable arms and the strenth of the breaks. I also like the fold down back. This makes folding and putting the chair into the car trunk much easier.

I don't feel that there are any weaknesses that I have encountered thus far.

My dad is 92 and recently has had a below the knee amputation. This transport chair, and I bought two, has allowed me to easily transfer my dad.

raymond t. from souderton, pa

male, age 67,Bi-lateral amputee. both legs..also use prothetics legs

The removable arms and the narrow width of the chair.

One of the arms came off more easily than the other, but it may need a little WD-40.

marisa b. from arlington, va (caregiver)

This chair is for my 84 year old mother who is unable to stand and needed a chair which would enable her to transfer to and from the bed and bathroom

IT' SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT THROUGH DOORWAYS AND IT'S AS EASY AS A SUITCASE TO LOAD AN FUNLOAD FROM THE CAR.

I'M TALL SO IT'S A LITTLE CLOSE TO THE GROUND, BUT FOR THE AVERAGE PERSON IT'S PERFECT.

rita c. from fontana, ca

I'M 66 YEARS OLD AND VERY HEAVY, AND HAVE TOUBLE GETTING AROUND THE HOUSE. THE GO KART IS PERFECT.

Much easier to handle than wheel chairs we have. Removable arm rests.

None. Good value for price.
