The transport chair meets the needs of the person for whom...

 
4.5 / 5
Strengths:

The transport chair is easy to maneuver; I particularly like the larger rear wheels for gentle uneven terrain. It is easy to fold and unfold.

Weaknesses:

I would like for it to have adjustable height arms to pull up under restaurant tables. It would also be nice if the chair were lighter but then it probably wouldn't be as sturdy, durable.

We haven't found any yet.

Great product, does what ad says beautifully!

 
5.0 / 5
Strengths:

It's easy to handle, folds up nicely, looks good, is comfortable for the user and we will take it when we travel!

Weaknesses:

We don't use the seat belt so it drags under the chair and gets dirty. I'm thinking of removing it entirely.

My husband had an aortic dissection in 2005, and lived, except he is very weak and his kidneys failed so he is on dialysis 3 times a week.

An adequate chair for the price

 
3.3 / 5
Strengths:

Low price, rolls and maneuvers easily

Weaknesses:

Narrow seat with high arms feels confining but for a thin rider at least, this is largely solved by adding a pillow or thick cushion. Assembly instructions were not clear.

My 80 year old wife, an Alzheimer's patient, has seen mobility decrease severely. When she can't walk any further, this transport chair is a blessing.

very satisfied with product and quick delivery

 
4.8 / 5
Strengths:

well made product. Is light enough to enable her to move herself around a little with her feet. THe old style wheelchair was too heavy. Also,this new chair is very easy to fold up and put in a car.

Weaknesses:

The height of the seat is not adjustable and was a bit too high for my mother's feet to easily reach the ground. If the seat height could have been adjusted, she could be more mobile.
