Duet Transport Chair and Rollator

The concept is top notch, but some features are difficult to use.

The footrest does not stay in place when moved down. It swings back and forth, which gives the occupant a feeling of instability.

Over 90 years old, cannot walk because of knee and back pain.

Easily transfers between rollator use and wheelchair.

Seat not comfortable; needs cushioning

Limited ability to walk distances

It is a compact and versatile design.

My hands are too weak to make collapsing it easy. Wish the release button was easier for me.

I'm 81 and have a problem with vertigo when I walk, so I need to have support that I can manage.

Dual purpose, light weight, storage under seat, good hand brakes. Great for traveling.

When used as wheelchair is VERY tippy when going over even the smallest raised areas such as thresholds. Always felt needed to turn around and go over backwards to avoid possibility of tipping over forward. When folded for storage it does not stand "alone" without being leaned against something.

Assistance for father in law during trip to Alaska. Gives him balance when walking and us assistance when he is weaker or for distance "walking."

Strength/quality.

None found so far.

User is 242# and 73 years old. So far it is working great! It seems to be more solidly built than the cheaper brand we had gotten previously

comfortable seat and good as a walker for patient

product had a tendency to tip forward while being used as a wheelchair, because the patient had that leaning forward issue and rocking around with the parkinson's. otherwise OK

Ease of use, sturdy, attractive

Larger pneumatic tires would be great. Tends to get stuck easily on a sidewalk while in chair mode. Does not roll easily over a small rise or separation as in a sidewalk. Still a great product.

It is lightweight and easy to fold for storage or transport. The basket under the seat is roomy and easily accessible.

When used as a transport chair, it is difficult to push over thresholds, even small ones. We have found we need to back over curb cuts, etc. Also, the seat is fairly deep, so the back rest is quite a ways behind me. I'm 5'3" so it probably would not work well for someone who is short.

I have MS and use a walker at home, a transport chair or scooter outside of our home. We travel often, which is when the transfer chair is useful.

It rolls smoothly & the construction is solid-no fear of product giving out when I sit down or use it to help me get up off the floor.

The weight makes it hard to lift the front end over bumps when using it as a rollator. There is no paperwork with the chair telling how to adjust brakes & providing other product information.

lyse b. from wellington, oh

used by a 56 year old, 125 lb. female with MS & mobility/balance difficulties.

Ability to function as a walker or a transport chair. Moves easily over grass as well as pavement. Two way seating moves the backrest out of the way when using the unit as a walker.

The backrest in the walker position makes the unit difficult to insert and remove from a car. The seat and backrest could use more padding. Wish the handles would adjust higher. User is 5'8".

kenneth k. from glen burnie, md (caregiver)

The user has had multiple back surgeries and has pain when using the balls of the feet.

Ability to change from walker to transport, and the ability to sit when the chair is in the walker mode.

The provision to reverse the position of the back rest is not well designed. I don't think the fix is simple. It may require a completely redesigned mechanism for reversing the back rest.

versatility and easy to travel with

wheels could absorb the shock a bit better
