Lightweight W/12" Rear Wheels

First the comfort for Mama, she says the seat and back are well padded. I bought an extra pad but we don't use it. Second, ease of use. I can lift it easily and no backache. I always take the foot rests off (to lift) and it fits easily in trunk or backseat. This was really important for me because I have lower back problems. Whoever invented those easy on off foot rests deserves a raise!! 3rd. Love the color! The chair rolls so easily I do it with one hand, we use it in the grocery store and I can push Mama and pull the grocery cart, each with one hand. The handbreaks are wonderful for going down a ramp, just give'em a little squeeze and the chair+body weight don't get ahead of me. I was nearly runover by someone else with a standard wheelchair going down a ramp, bc there's no break system (I don't think they knew to go down backwards!) We love it so much we have TWO. A blue one in VA (a Red State!) and red one in CA (a Blue State!! we think this really funny! My mother lives 6 months on each coast with us her two daughters. Lastly the price. Very affordable which is not often the case with anything medical. We paid as much for an old-fashioned push walker at the local store.

There are NO weakness' that I can think of. I do wish you sold the back mounted bag that I had to buy from a competitor. I put our two purses and purchases in it, it weighs nothing and it's wonderfully handy. Something I'd definately recomend and it's not expensive.

Slow recovery from a broken hip has caused my mother to be able to only walk shorter distances.

The rear wheels are larger & stronger than most with ease of mobility. The aluminumn frame makes it light & easy to fold up & transport. Colors are great, too.

This is the best wheelchair I ever bought. It is so light weight but sturdy. Thank you so much for selling this at a reasonable price.

Air in wheels, smooth ride, foot support for tilting on 2 wheels.

Could use a clip of some sort to keep chair in the folded position when not in use.

richard o. from natick, ma (caregiver)

93 year old female who can barely walk but likes to get out.

Light weight, convenience.

Air-filled tires are a risk during travelling if the tires go flat.

72 year old woman who has difficulty walking for more than short distances.

To inflate tires you must get a flexible stem extender because it is difficult to connect a pump. Tires had very little air in them when shipped to us.

It's lightweight, easy to use and the price is reasonable.

The hand break is not lockable. We have to put a string to hold the break whenever we help Mom get in and out of the lightweight wheelchair.

agnes t. from temecula, ca (caregiver)

76 year old female, partially and legally blind, amputated right leg.

Lightweight and easy to open. This chair allows me to take my mom out shopping and to other activities that she was missing due to her limited mobility.

One suggestion - I wish there was a spot on the chair to store the foot rests after folding up the chair for transport so that everything would be all together in one piece. But this is a minor issue.
