Lightweight W/12" Rear Wheels

Light weight. Can be folded into backseat of car or trunk. I cannot pick up a "lightweight" wheelchair but can manage this transport chair quite well.

Footrest loosens up and needs retightening from time to time.

90 year old woman who currently has problems walking because of ulcers on her feet.

Cost, weight, size, hand brakes are great for going down a hill. Comfortable to sit in. Easy to transport. Attractive color (blue).

It could use a brake that you could lock so it wouldn't roll when the person is getting in it. The tires were awkard to inflate.

cynthia g. from morgantown, wv (caregiver)

Purchased for my mother, aged 79 who has severe oestoperosis and cancer. She is frail and unable to walk long distances.

Weight, hand brakes, and ease of handling.

None found as of now.

nina r. from medina, oh

My father has alzheimer's and trouble walking. He is 90 and needed a transport chair.

Ease of movement, light weight, storage braked are very good for caretaker, ease of footrest removal.

No brakes available to used. Lack of any small carrying bag or cane holder.

isabelle p. from colorado springs, co

Age 78, Parkinson's and arthritis. I am very slow to walk and get around-not used in home--only when needed when in s hurry

Lightweight, comfortable, smooth ride, easy to fold and reasonably priced.

It needs an additional brake besides the hand brake. That is a simple adaptation that should be made in future chairs.

carlos r. from coral gables, fl (caregiver)

68 year old Parkinsons patient.

Light weight, small size, but has features of regular wheel chair, detachable footrests, seat belt, and is comfortible to sit in.

Is a little difficult to air up the 12" rear tires (requires 41 psi). Probably would need to take to service station and have somebody do it at least the first time.

robert n. from san antonio, tx (caregiver)

We use it to transport a disabled person to and from the car to the doctors office, church, restaurants, etc.

Light weight, comfort, easy to fold and store.

None noted at this time.

donna l. from mesquite, nv

62, foot wound unable to walk also charko problem with other bone problems.

It just works.

Hard to find a bicycle pump that will work because of the way the hub and spokes are designed. Most pumps today have a rather large "head".

ed e. from coral springs, fl (caregiver)

Used to transport 92 year old mother-in-law.

Lightweight...well constructed...nice appearance.

No brake lock...this could be a helpful feature so chair won't move while unattended. I would be interested if this is something that could be added. Also a small basket or pocket that could be attached to carry small items for the patient.

robert c. from barre, vt (caregiver)

Age 79...has Parkinson's...difficult to walk a long distance..will be used for this purpose.

Light weight.

Wheels can be wider, so they don't dig into soft dirt.

frank t. from astor, fl

65 year old male with MS. I have limited walking abilities and don't drive wheel chair is light weight to make it easier for my wife to load.

Hard to fill wheels with air - gas station nozzles don't fit.
