Lightweight, easy to use

Single choice for height of footrest. Uncomfortably high for me

greg o. from austin, tx

Have peripheral neuropathy, and no balance. Use the expedition when I am going long distances on smooth surfaces when is too far for me to walk.

Lightweight, large wheels in the back, adjustable belt.

The hubcap broke on day one, the foot rest slides down a bit and when in motion the front wheel catches and won't move. Aluminum needs to be lighter weight and sturdier metal for the chair.

82 year old, 140ish pound, who lives in a walk up. It is light weight to carry up and down a walk up of two flights.

Fits into standard doorway, easy to maneuver.

Brake lock only works when handle is squeezed, therefore there is no brake lock if attendant has to open a door, etc. There should be a lever on the handle to lock the brakes if the attendant has to leave, otherwise its putting the person in the chair at risk.

The user is a male, 69 years old. Suffering from diabetes, kidney failure and congestive heart failure. After last hospital confinement very weak.

Easy for me to fold and get into car.

Seat is too narrow for big men but weight limit is 350. Tough to push.

My husband uses the transport chair with the 12" rear wheels. He is a 6 ft man who weighs 250 lbs. we use it for getting to the car.

I would not call the chair "Lightweight." Good on wood floors.

Weight.

Portability

gordon m. from camden, ny (caregiver)

70 year old woman who can't walk due to need of hip two replacements, she has COPD and diabetes so there will be no replacement surgery.

Small enough to fit through doorways, light enough for me to handle.

The lack of locking hand breaks.

melody y. from lake geneva, wi (caregiver)

My 96 year old mother has great difficulty walking. I use the chair to take her every where in the house.

Very good - light enough to put in car. The big wheel help me move it easily.

Foot paddle has been my biggest problem. It does not stay up like it should.

linda h. from sims, nc (caregiver)

User is 73 years old. Had a stroke and cannot stand or walk without help.

Lighter weight & less awkward for caregiver to maneuver, especially lifting into/out of vehicles. Larger rear wheels easier to enable going over thresholds, etc.

No self brake and user cannot easily maneuver himself.

nancy a. from austin, tx (caregiver)

Bought for 82 yo husband who has difficulty walking any distance, and needs transport help. Regular w/c is too heavy & awkward for me to lift.

The only draw back on this chair are the hand brakes, they don't work worth a darn, no way to support the chair if you have to help someone up.

eugene b. from rancho cordova, ca

It's mainly for my wife, she has some muscle problems.
