Medical Transport Wheelchair

We are very happy with this wheelchair. It is lightweight and sturdy. My dad moves around the house in it by using his feet as they are smaller wheels so you can’t move it with your arms. If you are sitting in it. . The chair is easy to push, fold and pick up to put in the trunk of the car. Easy to use brakes as well. My Dad prefers a 2 inch foam cushion added to the seat. He is 5’ 8”.

Works well, but within a few days a piece broke and I had to make some adjustments. It wasn't a big problem for me, but might be for others. One handle wouldn't lock in place, so you couldn't push it until I repaired it.

I've been using this chair for about a month and am so grateful for it. My mom needs something to help her get around when she needs to leave the house and travel for longer distances than she can comfortably walk. I was initially worried that the seat area might be too small or feel too tight for my mom, who was about 200 lbs, but there are no problems with that at all. Someone in another review suggested getting a seat pad to make the seat more comfortable, and I 100% agree. It greatly adds to the comfort of the chair because I didn't find it too comfortable without the pad. What I love about the chair is how lightweight and compact it is. When my mom needs to take a cab or get a ride in a car, the leg attachments come on and off very easily, the chair folds easily, the push handles also fold down to give it a smaller profile for stowing, and the chair is so lightweight that it's easy to put in and out of a trunk or to carry up and down stairs. The locking mechanism is easy to access and is secure. Unlike a regular wheelchair, this transport chair is intended to be pushed by someone, not for the person seated to be able to push themselves, but I do wish there was a way that the seated person could have access to a/the locking mechanism so they could lock or unlock the chair themselves if necessary. My mom once used to the chair to scoot herself around the kitchen in order to cook and it was tricky for her to stand up and sit down with ease because she couldn't access the brakes herself from a seated position and the brakes should be on as a person sits and gets up. Overall, I am thrilled with this chair and highly recommend it. The big wheels create a smooth ride and the material of the wheels allow me to kinda easily slide my mom over in the chair when on a smooth surface and I need more room to navigate in a small space. Highly recommended.

Es ligera, fácil de armar, el color se ve muy bien y el material es resistente.

This arrived quickly from Pophaw and was well-packaged with no missing parts. Instructions were straightforward and clear, and this took just a matter of a few minutes to unpack and put together (very little needed to be done in terms of assembly; most of the chair arrives pre-assembled). The chair is lightweight and very easy to maneuver. My husband has a full-size wheelchair as well, and this one is so much easier to wheel around, lift, and load into our mid-size sedan car. I also like the handbrakes, which are very convenient and easier for me to lock than the wheel brakes on a regular wheelchair. It just takes a little practice if you are accustomed to the other type of brakes. What I found a little concerning and the reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that, despite the ample weight limit, the chair is narrow and not very stable, and can tip over or backward if you're not careful with it. My husband (200 lbs) has a bad habit of plopping down into his standard wheelchair, and it would be dangerous for him to do that with this chair and in fact it nearly fell backwards with him in it the very first time we used it. It's just something we will need to be very mindful of. I imagine this stability issue would be even greater on chairs with smaller back wheels, though, so I'm glad I opted to get a model with 12" rear wheels. I do wish the arms of this chair could fold down out of the way like they do on my husband's regular wheelchair. I'm not sure if that is a feature on any transport chair, though. My husband likes the height of the seat (a little higher than the seat on his regular wheelchair) and says it is fairly comfortable for the size, although the back doesn't provide much support and would not be ideal to sit in for any length of time (but in all fairness, this is a *transport* chair). We use a cushion on the seat. He also likes that the arm rests are a little longer than the ones on his regular wheelchair. Overall, this was a pretty good purchase for the price. I would not want to use it on uneven surfaces or for lengthy periods of time, but we will likely just use this transport chair indoors as a "backup" wheelchair rather than always having to lug the full-size wheelchair in and out of the house (hubby is fairly mobile with a walker, but sometimes needs to be wheeled into the house from the car---we have a ramp---and this will work perfectly for that). I do like that it fits through our smallish bedroom door frame whereas his regular wheelchair does not. As a very minor side note...one of the plastic caps on the rear wheel fell off today, which is the first time we have taken the chair out of the house. I'm not sure how to put it back on; it's just a decorative cap that conceals a bolt on the wheel and does not affect the chair's functionality.
