Price is by far the most reasonable we have found; for a middle class family, the investment was substantial but possible. The chair collapses easily and stores well in our car for transport use, and the lock bar we purchased is a very sound extra. I feel this chair is SAFE, it will not collapse or shift, nor will the wheels "lock up" --something that often happens when using a wheelchair provided by a mall, grocer, etc.

The design of the chair may need attention, as it is difficult to navigate over a door threshold or across a soft surface like carpet. Because of the need for hard surfaces, it is relatively useless for home use--I am forced to use two canes to get the paper or mail, for instance; or I must ask my son or husband to help me out of the chair, walk it through/over the obstacle and then sit back down on the chair when it is back on tile or cement.

I suffer from UMCD and I have been severely injured using "loaner" wheelchairs at Museums, grocer, etc. The chair we purchased is fully collapsible, a

a seat belt would be a very beneficial safety feature.

I literally ran the wheels off the last one. Yard work and tooling around in parking lots and cement surfaces, has convinced me this is a superior product.

levers for removable arm rests will release without notice. Folding seat will develop a difficulty aligning to grooves after time. Hand rail on new model is a semi-circle and does not conform to hands.

280lb amputee no foot

I purchased this unit for the No Mark tires, and in home use only.

Hand rims should be rounded on inside. Mgfr says that I could not replace with another type nor remove the ones on the chair-dealer said I could. I just removed the installed rims and use without as it is in house only

The best feature is how easy it is to remove the foot rests. Chair rolls very easy. You can get right up to a table to eat or work. Folds and opens easly too.

To much plastic to break. First chair I received was broken in shipping.

Light weight, comfortable seat

For my Mom, just wish it rolled easier--bearings or whatever it takes. A big problem also is that with hand propelling she can't get a good grip, so has to put a bunch of adhesive tape on it to get a better grip. Would be better if the propelling rings were made with or coated with something that would provide a better grip.

It's Mom in nursing home. She tries to propell herself. She has bad knees.

light wheight

the wheels don't come off easily. It is not colorful for a teen taste.

My daughter is 14 years old, non ambulatory and we travel a lot overseas. The Guardian chair is perfect for us. We are very satisfied.

We purchased this wheelchair for outings that require walking. We have used the wheelchair once so far and it seems to be a good choice for our needs.
