Feather Chair

Lightweight!!! Only 18-19 lbs including wheels versus our old 45 lb chair!!  Its worth the money in the long run if you have to lift it into cars, etc. Saves the back!! Also easier for her if I’m not assisting because of the lightweight. We just came back from a trip to New York and chair stood up well to the airline baggage handlers. We also pushed it onto many wheelchair accessible buses and lyfts. Great chair, wish I would have got one sooner.

Not as strong as the heavy chair but not a big deal just be more gentle with it (which shouldn’t be hard since someone’s in the chair that requires gentle movements).

My wife is in a wheelchair because of severe sciatic and rheumatoid arthritis. I purchased this chair because her original chair weighed 43 pounds.

Light weight, fully featured, comfortable.

I can't think of any.

My wife has reduced use of her right leg due to a stroke. She can walk short distances okay but long walks are a problem.

it's very light and the wheels come off easily

arm rests not movable and i didn't recieve the extra cushion i ordered and paid for

the strengths are that it gives the caregiver the ease with its light weight and the person easier handling

I don't see any weakness

CVant walk wel, bad balance

The hand brake is terrific. Pull like a traditional bike brake while walking OR push the brake lever down to park the chair. While the chair is for my mom, my dad benefits from the chair stability and brakes - it becomes a walking aid for him.

This chair was smaller than a standard chair but still fine for my mom. Cushions were not as robust as on the old Tracer 2 my mom had. My dad did know the parking brake until I showed him! The little yellow sticker on the brake is the main indicator.

construction, materials, light weight

None encountered so far. Cushion is a bit thin but we will just use an add on air cushion if needed.
