chair was what I wanted

Comfort, light weight, manuverability, Mom used it as a walker, then a chair to rest, or be transported around the amusement park.

None yet!

Lightweight, easy to collapse and expand. Comfortable to sit in for short periods of time.

Directions for assembly (attachment of foot pedals) were not clear and could be improved.

This chair is great for both of us. It is light weight and compact so it is easy to handle and fits in tight spaces and shopping isles. That also makes it inconspicuous so mom doesn't feel like a spectacle. The large rear wheels seems to give it a more stable ride and easier to maneuver. The hand breaks make it safer for me to handle when going down ramps or "hills".

The hand breaks do not lock. Mom can not safely sit down or stand up unless I am standing behind it, and then I am not in a position to physically help her.

The chair is used by my 84 year old mother. She is legally blind, is a diabetic, has diminished lung capacity, rhumatoid arthritis and bursitis in her

THe ease of transporting this chair is incredible. Very light weight.

Needs a locking brake.

Large rear wheels.

Footrest rather flimsy.

My 88 year old mother who lives in an assisted living facility. Requires occasional transport from room to meals or other activities on different floo

I'm a 230 lb man on oxygen and it helps my wife to get me in and out of the doctors offices. I would reccomend it to people that just a little help from place to place.

I think that where the wheels connect to the chair it could be strounger.

Compact, Light Weight, Comfortable, Affordable, Attractive.

Don't have any weaknesses as of yet. Cold weather has prevented us from getting out to really test it out. That is the reason I didn't rate as "Best". So far, we really like it.

My Mother is 87 years old, walks with a walker for short distances. Needs transport for extended outing.

The folding up is simple and quick. It is fairly light and fits in the trunk of a regular car. All the wheelchairs we looked at would only fit in a truck or SUV/van. This chair fits in the trunk of a Mustang convertible!

When the back of the chair folds down to make it smaller, the fabric protrudes and it is somewhat difficult to get it arranged properly so it can be stowed. A lighter weight or less padded back might make it easier.

My 90 year old grandmother can still walk around in the house with a walker but longer walks into the doctors office or to a restaurant were becoming

The larger wheels in the rear make it much easier to push and the handbreaks are so easy, espcially when we carry bags on the back of the chair. The footbreaks on the last wheelchair rubbed agains the bags.

It would be nice if the arm rest were cushioned a bit more and a little longer.

My Dad is the user of the transport wheelchair and it's very easy for me to push. The handbreaks are especially nice!
