Too wide and low for a tall slender user; brakes hard to operate
Reviewer: jean-anne m. from allison park, pa (caregiver)
User Details: Disabled 98 year-old man
Strengths: Light weight, easy to fold
Weaknesses: This chair was wider and lower than the other chair we have, and the arm rests were shorter. The brakes were hard to operate and required the caregiver to bend over to use them. We returned it and purchased a higher, narrower product with bicycle type brakes. My dad is fairly tall (6' when he was young) so a higher chair works better. The wide width made this chair harder to handle inside. Dad did not like the shorter armrests; they were too far back for him to grab in order to pull himself up effectively. The brakes were difficult to operate; if the caregiver is supposed to be able to set and release them with her feet, we could not figure out how to do that. Bicycle brakes that allow you to set both brakes at once while standing are much better.

Reviewer: michael h. from shreeve port, la (caregiver)
User Details: Female, 67years old. MS patient.
Strengths: Weight and size.
Weaknesses: This is the third chair we have purchased. Sewn seams on base bars at front of seat have split on both sides on the two previous chairs. Not the weight. My wife weighs only 130 pounds. Need to offer heel loops on foot pads and installed. Have purchased loops for previous two and self installed.

Reviewer: agatha l. from chama, nm (caregiver)
User Details: Not provided
Strengths: Lightweight and easy to load. I don't know how durable it will be, because I haven't had it that long. It should hold up, however since I only use it in the car.
Weaknesses: Definitely the fact that every time I fold it up to load, the foot rests fall off and then I have to take the time to line them up to get them back on! There ought to be a way to secure them when the chair is folded up so they don't fall off. That should be improved on. It's very frustrating.

Reviewer: lori c. from west valley, ut (caregiver)
User Details: 95 year old mother who is frail but active. Wants to be in the middle of every family activity and outing.
Strengths: So lightweight and easy to get in and out of the car. Arm rests are low so it fits under tables, which means mom can join us at restaurants and remain seated in her chair. And it looks nice, too.
Weaknesses: Haven't come across any weaknesses. It's a great product.

Lightweight and easy fold up -- just have to watch your fingers!
Reviewer: sally f. from portland, or (caregiver)
User Details: 98 year old woman who walks very short distances with a walker -- and even that is becoming increasingly difficult.
Strengths: Weight and ease of transportation. It even fits in my SmartCar!
Weaknesses: No weaknesses, you just have to learn not to hold the side of the chair when opening it up or your fingers can get smashed.
