Lightweight W/12" Rear Wheels

Lightweight and folds easily to fit into trunk.

It meets my expectations for this product. You sometimes have to move it around a little to have the wheels facing the right way but I hardly call this a weakness.

My husband (age 61) had a stroke. He is able to walk with a walker or a cane but I use the chair for longer distances. It's wonderful.

It's light weight, easy to get in and out of car. Easy to manuever in tight spaces, I like having a seat belt. It goes over cobble stones without a problem.

The main thing we think it needs is a break like the jogging strollers have as I'm not at ease when my husband stops to look at something or puts something in the car after shopping and I am sitting there and could roll and no way to stop myself.

I am 76 and had a bad break in my ankle and can't walk too well or fast enough to keep up in a tour group so we purchased this for a river cruise.

I am a 71 year old woman in fairly good shape. However, I can tell, that the time approaches, when I may have to miss out on something. What? Well, a good sale, a good play, a good restaurant and many more things. I bought the fab wheel chair so that can't happen to me. I am mentally preraring to not be embarssed by having a little help. I fear getting left behind more that I can say. I have seen others that say that is so humiliating to be pushed. I am determined that false pride will never keep me from being able to do what everyone else can do. I will deserve a brake when the day comes that my "hip," decided not to do it's thing. I prefer that to taking all these horrible drugs that are recommended to people as they age. I don't want to add to pain by walking too far, when, I have a loving family and lots of friends that are happy to give me a little help. The chair is always in the trunk of the car and I will be ready when I need to be. I also like the fact that the wheels are of a fine quality and not so big. The balance of the larger wheels in the back makes me feel secure. Keep up the good design work. Factor in a little fun!!!!!

I wish you would come out with wild colors. My son likes collector cars and he is going to stripe it like a candy cane. Would you like a picture when he gets around to it? I am planning a sign for the back that says, "If, "if's" and "but's" where candy and nuts, then eveyday would be "Christmas." Laughing at life is the only way I can survive my life journey.

Age 90, limited walking ability. This chair is kept in the back of a SUV for use at shopping centers, doctors, and senior center.

delivered in 24 hours..no assembly required. smooth riding..light weight for in and out of the car..My 91 year old mom went to Disneyworld with the family and although she is ambulatory, this was great for the times she was tired to keep up. ALSO, it got them to the front of the lines. But, seriously, my mom was so glad to get the chair so quickly in time for the trip and it helped tremendously. Thank you.

The only weakness I know of is that it took up a little extra space in the van than expected.

82 year old female. Uses to attend appointments, etc.

With its 12" back wheels, it is easy for another person to push you around and unlike some wheelchairs, it easily goes thru doorways. It has hand brakes to make it easier for them pushing you downhill.

None. I am very pleased.

joanne t. from placitas, nm

I am 75 and mobile most of the time but I do have low back problems from time to time and this chair is just what I need!

Light weight and easy to collapse and set up.

Foot rests interfere with front wheels when going in reverse.

We bought the chair for our 92 year old mother who can only barely walk after suffering a stroke 9 years ago.

for me it is that the chair is so lightweight and portable.

no foot brake

my 87 year old mom already had a bad hip, then fell and broke her shoulder. so getting around was near impossible for a few weeks.
