I have found this item to be everything it said it would be. It is light weight. It fits in the truck of a Toyota Corolla. It is comfortable for the user. It is not a wheelchair that the user can push himself (all wheels are small), but it is easy to push. I love it.

We used this chair to give my mother-in-law a ground level tour of the strip in Las Vegas. It made the trip possible. There is no way she would have made it with her walker. Mono-rail, streets, elevators, it worked perfect in every way but one, it wouldn’t stop her complaining about anything and everythng.

This transport chair is excellent. Very light weight, easy to push, easy to fold away, easy to clean. It is nice looking (blue color)and seat is a good size and comfortable. The only negative (reason I gave it a 4) is the foot rests. When you do not use them and push them off to the side they have a tendancy to move. If there was a clip to hold them in place out of the way that would eliminate that problem. Also would have been nice to have a place for a name tag on the back.
Other than those very minor things this chair is EXCELLENT and would highly recomend it. Also the price beat Sam’s club by thirty dollars and it was delivered within a week. Amazon and Drive Medical Rocks!!

I bought this for my father-in-law who had a stroke this past summer at sixty eight years old. My mother-in-law at sixty seven, doesn’t have a lot of arm and shoulder strength and cannot wield a full-size wheelchair around and constantly pull it in and out of the trunk of their toyota camry.
The light weight of this chair works great for short trips to appointments. I wouldn’t recommend it for a long day shopping at the mall however. It’s not as easy to use as a full-size standard wheelchair. This is a great chair for shorter trips and appointments to make transferring easier to manage.

My purpose was to ferry my mother for a whole lot of travel. The wheelchair is certainly lightweight, folds and sits in the back of my car, has wheel-locking system.
The fli-side is the ease of use – its a little difficult when you are taking someone of about 180lbs – I felt it was easier to push with a bigger (full) wheels than this wheelchair with smaller wheels.
Bottomline – if you are looking at using this for a shor-term, mostly for travel, its good. I wouldn’t advise for long-term.
