Changed my Mom's life! December 12, 2008
We LOVE Mom's new transport chair. It has opened the door to so many activities that she could no longer do, because of a bad back. Mom is 81 and we used to do so much on our weekly days together, but when her back got so severe she couldn't even walk from the parking lot to the mall entrance, our activities were cut off. She was so down about it, but with the arrival of her new chair, we are running around everywhere. Because it is so light weight, we don't even have to seek out elevators. We simply go to the escalator, she gets on, I quickly fold up her chair and away we go. I can hold it under my arm with one hand. Yet, it is sturdy enough that she feels safe and comfortable when she is in it. Many people have commented on the pretty fabric also and it thrills her. We zoom around all over the place and are making lots of great memories of our adventures again. It fits perfectly into the trunk of her little Toyota and we love how slender it is because it can fit down some of the small aisles in specialty shops and restaurants. We cannot say enough wonderful things about her new chair. We give it ten stars out of five!!!! Thanks for making it possible for my Mom to enjoy going out again, without any pain!!

This is the product that I've been looking for probably 30 years. I have a handicapped daughter that can walk for short distances only. We've always used a regular wheel chair and it is heavy and she can't propel it herself, so we realy don't need the big wheels that are on a regular wheel chair. Now we will use it for very rough terrain. It is very strong, light and compact compared to her regular wheelchair. I can't say anything negative about it. My daughter is small, so we ordered the 17" size. Amazon has the best price and it arrived as stated with no problems.

We purchased this chair primarily for a plane trip. Getting through the airport was a breeze and we used it on the jetway and folded it up like a stroller at the plane's door (take the foot pedals off first though). Several people remarked at what a nice-looking chair it was. It is lightweight and the wheels still appear to be sturdy even after all the miles we've put on it. The padded arm rests are appreciated too. This chair is very well made.

Bought this a few months ago, it's in daily use. Quality of construction is good, and we have had no problems apart from having to adjust the brakes once or twice. It's much easier to get in and out of the car trunk than the steel chair that preceded it.

This chair is very well built yet also is very light. I can easily lift it into the trunk of my car. The standard wheelchair that my mom used to use was always very difficult for me to lift.
The chair is also compact when open which makes for much easier maneuvering in public areas. The pocket on the back of the seat is convenient for putting my mom's parking pass in. It also velcros closed so I don't have to worry about anything falling out.
When folded, the chair is compact. You have the option of folding the feet into the sides and folding the handles down which makes it even tinier. Easy to store in my mother's little closet.
The brakes are a little inconvenient to use as you have to bend all the way down. Also, one of the brakes wasn't tightened as much as it could be. The tools they included with the chair don't fit the brakes' bolts so I have to use an allen wrench from my own toolset.
Overall, though, an excellent chair at an excellent price.
