Deluxe Lightweight Transport Wheelchair

The chair was purchased for easier transport when we take Mother to dinner or appts.. It is light, collapsible, and much easier for my husband to lift in and out of the car trunk than her heavier, standard wheelchair.

The wheels are a bit small, so curbs can be difficult. Mother minds the high arm rests, and she's a tall woman. I can't imagine a shorter person being able to sit comfortably with their arms on the rests.

I use this chair to transport my 86 year old mom shopping, hospital, appointments. She is able to walk only very short distances using a walker.

Easy to use, light weight.

Hard to use in close quarters.

The chair is lightweight and safe. The brakes are firm, the seatbelt is adjustable. The legrests are removable which is an important feature. The backrest folds down when I put the chair in the car. The fabric is washable, for when Mom has a spill. As a Homecare RN, I would recomment this product to all my clients.

I would like the wheels a bit wider for better balance when transferring.

82 y/o female with dementia and inability to walk.

Light weight, compact size.

The foot rests can't be secured when folded; they either come off, or flop around. Would benefit from some type of latch. (I have difficulty bending down to reattach them.)

Use for trips to assist my wife's walking.

Light weight and not very expensive.

No side wheels so I could propel myself. I just wasn't paying attention to that feature.

My mother is 82 years old and can not walk for time or long distances. The chair is ideal for her (and for us) because we can take her everywhere.

Light and portable with good quality.
