TOO HEAVY FOR ME TO PUT INTO THE CAR TRUNK. COULD BE 10 POUNDS LIGHTER. I MUST HAVE SOMEONE PUT THE WHEELCHAIR INTO MY TRUNK, AND GET SOMEONE TO TAKE IT OUT FOR ME.

Removable leg supports, it folds up for transportation in a car trunk, the arm rests fold up and out of the way when needed, and it is light-weight yet sturdy.

The cushion sometimes slips sideways on the seat because the hold needed must be provided by a 'sticky pad'. Invacare once made a better wheelchair for someone afflicted, as the stroke victim is, in this case. It had a mechanical arm that allowed the wheelchair occupant to both propel, and steer the chair by using a rachet device. We were allowed to use such an Invacare Wheelchair while in St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, New York. However when we tried to buy one, they were not available. Maneuvering a wheelchair around the home with one arm would have become mush simpler than trying to do it in this wheelchair designed for a person with two good arms.

Stroke victim without the use of her right arm and leg.

The 16 inch chair is a good fit for my son at 180lbs.

The material on the seat is not safe, as it is very slippery.

joanne r. from cumming, ga (caregiver)

This wheelchair is for my adult disabled son. He requires someone to push the chair since he cannot. It meets our needs.

The semi-pneumatic front wheels are very nice; rolls freely; feels sturdy.

The material used for the seat is slippery - the cushion purchased for it slips, so do I! Seat material very quickly began to stretch out - would have expected something different for a chair that holds 300 pounds.

Well made

Cushion has been backordered for a long time. Would be nice if we could get it.

edwin l. from glendale, az (caregiver)

92 year old mother-in-law

Adjustable height. Width (Chose 18"). Overall decent quality.

The width, while a strength and needed for us, does make it more difficult to maneuver.

84, muscle weakness

Price, reliability and sturdiness

Protrusions to support leg attachments destroy pant legs when attachments are not in use (not used in home due to door and passage restrictions)
