Deluxe Lightweight Aluminum Transport Chair

Good quality and lightweight

No weaknesses. My own choosing, but I don't like the fact that I can’t roll myself. My legs are short so I really have to rely on someone else to move me.

It is so light and portable! It folds up so small. It was easy to get in and out of cars. It handled the cobblestone streets of Rome, Italy with absolutely NO trouble! We were able to get it on and off the subway system in Rome with no issue. We would fold it up and it easily fit without being in anyone's way. I was concerned that it would be tough to maneuver with the small wheels, but it was extremely easy. I'm not sure I'd recommend this for someone who had NO mobility, but it was PERFECT for our use. Completely enhanced our trip to Europe. I didn't have to worry about not doing something because I would be too tired/hurt from walking. I just hopped in the chair and away we went!

The seat isn't the most comfortable, but if you want to keep it light and small adding a cushion as part of the chair doesn't make sense. I could have brought one I suppose. The footrests pop out a little too easily. There was one time it was folded in the back of a cab and they fell off. We almost didn't notice and would have left them in the truck of the cab.

62 year old female who suffered a shattered tibia from a fall. She can walk/handle stairs, but only for a short while.

Good price, and its light weight makes it easy to lift and get into a trunk.

Tires went bad in less than a month, but SpinLife did send a whole new transport chair. Waiting for info to return the broken chair.

My wife is 76 and she has a broken leg.

Easy to use, folds easily.

I have not yet found any weaknesses. I recommend purchasing the wheelchair back carry-on, or a similar pack for items that need to be taken along. Fits on the handles of most wheelchairs and is easy to use.

Female, 71 years old, Parkinson's disease, walks very slowly and indecisively, confused at intersections of doors and hallways.

This product is lightweight, yet sturdy. It is easy for me to fold up and move in and out of my trunk. The chair is used for my 90 year old mother and I have a weak right hand, so the easiness of manipulating this chair is perfect for me. My mother claims the chair is quite comfortable.

So far, I haven't found a weakness. It would be nice if it had an attachment to carry a portable oxygen tank.

alice e. from imperial beach, ca (caregiver)

90 year old female with COPD, CHF, and arthritis. The chair is only used to transport to and from doctor’s appointments, etc.

Ease of picking it up and putting it into my vehicle. It's very light.

I feel that the weakness is the plastic washers. We found out after a couple of days that a lot of those plastic washers were cracked! So my husband went to the hardware store and fixed them with metal ones and it works fine now.

mary o. from ronkonkoma, ny (caregiver)

My mother-in-law is 97, with two broken hips. Can't really walk very far anymore. That is why my husband and I decided to get a transport chair.

Well-built and engineered. Very lightweight.

None.

marc t. from ewa beach, hi (caregiver)

80 year old man, use chair for transport to the doctor.

Lightweight, back folds down so that it fits easily in the trunk of my car. I can handle it myself.

Bumps are harder on my mother since the wheels are smaller, but it's a small price to pay for its strengths.

linda s. from fort collins, co (caregiver)

My 98 year old mother who can only walk a short distance with a walker.

- Cheap - Lightweight - Easy to collapse

- Unpleasant odor - Seat pull came off during the first two days - Somewhat difficult to get footrests positioned properly - Need to make accommodations to make the user comfortable
