Benefits
Reviewer: timothy s. from vernon, ct (caregiver)
User Details: Superb product. Well designed and easy to use. I opted for the memory foam cushion, more comfortable.
Strengths: Ease of use.
Weaknesses: Seating and back pad attaching (via Velcro) could be more robust.

It can be difficult to move the footrests out of the way. When folded back, it becomes difficult to turn the front wheels.
Reviewer: james r i. from edgewater, md (caregiver)
User Details: My 93 year-old Mom, with dementia and stroke with left side weakness. Lives in memory care facility with additional private aides 24/7.
Strengths: The tilt of the seat and back together is helpful for my Mom's care.
Weaknesses: I wish the product came assembled - but luckily my husband was able to put it together without having to purchase any hardware. It was inconvenient, however.

Reviewer: millard m. from cleveland, tn (caregiver)
User Details: User has dementia and can't comply with commands. Makes transporting easier. Leg rests are an annoyance to him.
Strengths: Relieves pressure. Makes transporting easier.
Weaknesses: For this user, his legs are too long for the leg rests. Leaning him back is necessary to move him. This, however, was a problem in his previous chair. I am happy for the tilt feature because he doesn't know what to do with leg rests.

Reviewer: linda p. from canton, ga
User Details: This chair is fabulous! I like the way it holds my body and my feet. The tilt is smooth, and the chair is easy to push and lift.
Strengths: The many adjustments this chair has make it perfect for anyone trying to get away from the rigidity of a typical chair. Everything adjusts. And it reclines!!! It's also very comfortable and I Velcro the headrest to the back of the chair when I'm not reclining.
Weaknesses: I found a way to attach the headrest to the back of the chair while it's not in use, so if there is any improving to be done that would be it.

Reviewer: marcia l. from long beach, ca (caregiver)
User Details: Used by husband with advanced Parkinson's disease. Can be adjusted at multiple tilt levels. No worries about him falling out of chair.
Strengths: Compact and light but gives a smooth ride for patient while easy for caregiver to push. Handles the sidewalk bumps very well. Great for relaxing in.
Weaknesses: Definitely need to spend extra money on optional memory foam cushions or chair would not be comfortable.

Best product for someone without the strength to move themselves!
Reviewer: vicki b. from anaheim, ca (caregiver)
User Details: My dad!! 73 year old male, victim of nursing home abuse who can no longer walk or hold him self up due to his injuries
Strengths: That it lets me tilt the entire chair back making it more comfortable for my dad. It takes the pressure off his lower back. It make it impossible for him to slide out of his chair. The moveable arm rests make it easy to transfer. The large wheels make it easy to get in and out of doors. It makes it easy for me to transport him without fear of him sliding or slipping or falling out of his chair. It really has been a godsend.. Thank you so very much!
Weaknesses: I don't see any weakness with this chair.
