Very sturdy.

Lack of seat belts, however, I realize that health department agencies restricts the use of those in most cases.

This wheelchair is used part of the day for my 80 year old wife, a victim of Alzheimer's. She is seated in a Geri chair the other part of the day.

feels stable, my son is 250 pounds and the chair seems to support him well.

I pinched my hands the first few times I opened the chair. but now I know how to do it.

my son who is 16 and has a mitochondrial myopathy.

Detachable foot rests and arm rests - narrow width - I own a very old farm house with narrow doorways - I use a different heavy duty wheelchair for work, shopping and sporting events.

This is really not a weakness, but I exceed the weight limit and so eventually (about 9-12 months) there is metal fatique. The cross beams will shear off. I always have an identical wheechair on hand so when this happens, I am not left high and dry. I order the next wheelchair as soon as I start using the new one. - I always remove the leg rests and arm rests immediately. I just throw them away because they are of no use to me.

I am 66 year old female with arthritis and a detached Achilles tendon. I work full time from home and at a manufacturing site. I am very active.

This company has the experience and expertise in this product group.

We were hoping that it might be manufactured in the USA.

Ease of movement. Easy to fold and unfold for the vehicle. Ability to change the wheels for transporting.

No weaknesses for the wheelchair but I had to call about my transporter kit because it wasn't shipped with the chair. I did receive them promptly after calling Spinlife.

Purchased wheel chair after breaking my foot. Very light weight, terrific size made it easy to maneuver around the island in my kitchen.

Strength

The Medline 3000 transport (small) wheels can only be used with the 19" seat height setup (and not with the 17" or hemi setup). This should be mentioned in the product literature. Also, the seat angle or dump should be part of the product literature.

95 3/4 years old. Dementia, needs knee replacement, has pin in ankle from accident.

I love the compact size and maneuverability. It's very easy for my family to get it in and out of the vehicle. Takes uneven terrain very well, even when we are in historical districts with brick pavers. Even with the weakness in my arms, I am able to use the wheels myself on smooth floors. I might add the the salesperson was extremely helpful, patient and cheerful while assisting me on the phone. I couldn't be happier with my purchase!

Haven't found any yet!

Easy to adjust for leg size and easy to get around in small spaces.

I added a seating pad for greater comfort.

This is used as an amenity for our guest needs.

I have not been to outlet malls in years due to my inability to walk the distance. This summer we have been to 2 outlet malls in Ohio and I have been able to participate with my family in covering the malls completely! This chair is so easy for me to maneuver myself when necessary.

I wish I would have included a seat cushion at the time of purchase.
