This wheelchair was an excellent choice. It has allowed my sister to transport my mother who resides in a nursing home, home for weekend and holiday

Very durable and lightweight.

Could use a little bit thicker pad in seat area.

My mother has MS and I have to take her out for her doctors appts. This transporter chair has made a tremendous difference!

The best thing about the Comet 349 to me is that it is so easy to pick up and transport in the back seat. I no longer have to lift a heavier chair into the trunk, which I need when I shop. If this chair folded any smaller I could put it in a bag and carry it over my shoulder. I've had two neck surgeries so this is great for me to lift compared to other chairs we've used.

For my needs it is perfect. It is a transport chair and not one that someone would push themselves in but that's what I needed for outings.

Compactness, full features, removable arms

Comfort - really needs a complementary pad; Strength and leverage - lifting the front wheels over a step is a little challenging

lawrence k. from saint charles, il (caregiver)

My mother-in-law is 89 and suffers from spinal stenosis; she is not able to stand or walk on her own. This chair has been very helpful to her.
