I had looked all around for a wheelchair that could be custom built. Finally found this (which is very much like his old one). Called and I believe Daniel? helped me with all the specs. It s exactly what I hoped for.

None that I know of.

User is 60 years old, mild cognitive issues and has severe epilepsy.

This chair rolls so much easier than her last wheelchair, as the front wheels are a little bigger and aid in getting around easier. Also, I like that the top extended head piece can be detached and put back on easily.

The arms come completely off, but I would rather have them tilt back, so that caregivers don't put them back on incorrectly, or at a different height than the other arm rest. Also, the arm is padded which is nice, but doesn't fit under tables very well and the padding is damaged easily.

My mother is the user of the Invacare Tracer SX5 Recliner Wheelchair. My mom is 92 years old and has Alzheimer's and can no longer walk.

Easy to use

None I can see yet

I am 79 yrs. Young, but cannot walk. Your chair helps me a lot

high back, removable parts, easy reclining, multiple sizes

not much - could possibly be easier to push

My mother (93 YO) has lost the ability to walk and is in the chair all day. The removable head rest and reclining are great for the beauty shop

Front wheels are too thin for my use. I use it outside on walks a lot and the wheels are too thin for turning.

Very easy to use and priced right.

Bought this for my dad, he needed a higher back. The home where he is staying loves it. My dad also likes it as well.

Well made and easy to push and move around.

The only thing I would change would be the neck pillow; it's a bit small. It would be more comfortable if it was a little bigger.

I purchased this chair for my dad and he is very happy with it. He especially likes the reclining feature.

It reclines easily, the leg rests elevate to match his new position beautifully. Well made!!

Can't think of a single weakness!

karen p. from des moines, ia (caregiver)

My dad is 86 years old, non-mobile and a big guy.

Because the back has so many positions, it provides for all of the user's needs during the day. I strongly recommend the articulating footrests which accommodates her long legs while reclining. We discovered the desk-length armrests still do not fit under the table and we have to remove them. I wanted to replace them with the full-length style because she needed to reach too far back for them when being seated; however, the helpful representative suggested turning them around - that works great.

The legrests are a bit difficult to secure.

90-year old female Parkinsons patient.

Tall back, reclining

Because of those features, it is heavy so can not lift it into the car

francis v. from collegeville, pa (caregiver)

My 80 year old husband with cancer and a recent femur fracture.

It goes thru doors with ease. Does everything it says it will do. makes her comfortable.

So far all I can say is it is heavy - and that was expected.

ellen m. from carriere, ms (caregiver)

I purchased this for an elderly (94) year old lady. She has a very bad hip. So far the chair has done everything we need it to do.
