excellent brakes she can apply herself

 
4.8 / 5
Strengths:

Air filled tires so the bumps don't aggravate her arthritis as much, brakes that she is able to turn and lock herself at shoulder level, lightweight so caregiver can store it in car, can be made very small to put in trunk or other small spaces, has protrusions in back so you can get leverage to go over bumps, she even says it is comfortable!

Weaknesses:

Could use springs to help even more with the bumps which aggravate her artrtic back. Could use elevating footrests to help her arthritic knees.

I haven't found any yet.

It's the product that we are looking for. Its great!

 
5.0 / 5
Strengths:

light weight, easy to carry (to the airport and to the car)and easy to use. And seat is also very comfortable. It's the best for travel and shopping:-) We used this for our recent Yellowstone national Park Trip and it works great! My 8 years old son really enjoyed to push his favorite grandmom around old faithful geyser area and any place that could push the chair. We are very satisfied with this product.

Weaknesses:

Two improvements will be great: 1. the wheel brake will be really nice to have - so user could stop there without worry that the chair will move. (currently, it only has hand break) 2.It's little bit hard to get inflator attach to the tire valve because of the wheel spoke space.
