Medline Ultra Lightweight Transport Wheelchair for Adults, Foldable, 19-Inch Seat Width, Blue Frame, Black Upholstery

Arrived well packaged and very easy for me to set up. I already had a transport chair which I use in my kitchen. At times I have used the chair in my bedroom when rearranging my dresser drawers, etc. or in my garage for while sorting donation items. Then it dawned on me I should get another transport chair, primarily for my bedroom. But I delayed thinking I needed at least $200. Finally got around to looking on Amazon. I found this chair at an affordable price. It is lighter in weight than my first chair, but just as comfortable and easy to maneuver. It folds easily; I don't use the foot supports . My husband is a big guy and he had no problems pushing me or even using the chair as I do. We are pleased with the quality of this transport chair and anticipate many years of service.

My mom can no longer walk when we go to Dr's. This chair is perfect. I can easily fold it and put it in the backseat or cargo area of the car by myself. It's very lightweight. She is comfortable for extended periods in it. It's easy push even uphill or over bumpy sidewalks. My only complaint is that the brakes are on the rear wheels all the way near the ground. She doesn't wait for me to lock the wheels and gets in or out and I have to hold the chair still. Would love brakes on the handles but other than that this is a very helpful chair.

Based on our experience, this is a great transport chair whether from one room to another or from home to wherever. Light, easy to collapse, easy to put the foot rests on or take off. Narrow enough to get through any door way down to about 26" wide, wheels big enough to get over small thresholds, easily fits in the back of even our Honda Fit. My only criticism would be an easy one to correct. With most wheel chairs, when you do meet a bump like a threshold, you can, as the "driver", press down on an extension to the bottom front to back tube that usually sticks out about 4-5" that helps you raise the front wheels to get up and over the obstruction. On this one, that tube stops short of being able to use it to lever the front wheels up and over. It helps a bit but not enough. Even another inch or two would help a lot and since the existing tube stops short of the outer edge of the wheels in the back, there is plenty of room to accommodate such an extension without making the chair more bulky. And the wheels themselves are lovely and smooth, even chushy if that is an expression that can be used. So I would certainly recommend this product.

We purchased this for my 89 year old father who is losing strength in his legs and can't walk for long distances. He's in the early to middle stages of dementia and it's important for him to be included in regular activities like grocery shopping, trips to the movies, museums with the great grandchildren etc. because the varied input of places outside the home stimulate his mind and time with familiar folk helps him stay in a positive frame of mind. Since he can't navigate the motorized carts at the grocery store and you cannot rely on various other venues having wheel chairs for you to borrow, we decided to get something that we could easily bring along wherever he goes with us.This transport chair is perfect! It is MUCH lighter than any of the conventional wheel chairs I looked at when visiting a used medical equipment thrift store the next town over. And, after looking at various transport chairs available there and here on Amazon, it was clear that this chair is also quite a bit lighter than other transport chairs I considered. The difference in weight is important to me because I have arthritis in my lower spine and and hands, this limits the amount of weight I can lift - especially a lift & twist movement such as needed when pulling large items in and out of the trunk of a car. The substantial difference in weight between this very sturdy transport chair and regular wheelchairs (with the big wheels adding much to their total weight) is quite significant. I am grateful for the light weight every time I go to put this very sturdy transport chair in my car. Frankly, the light weight & sturdy construction alone were worth the investment in this chair, but it has other features that we've come to appreciate.One important feature of this transport chair, besides the light weight, is that it was engineered to fold up very compactly. This means it's easy to fit in the back seats or trunks of smaller cars, and be easily loaded/unloaded by smaller statured people (like Dad's home helper who is about 5' 2"). In addition, the steps for folding or unfolding it are simple and easy to do (even for those with arthritic hands like mine). I really have come to appreciate the obvious thought and care that went into designing this transport chair.Although we keep the manual tucked in the convenient pocket on the rear side of the seat's backrest (so it'd be easy to find when someone new is handling the chair, like family members taking Dad on a special outing or a substitute caregiver), most people never even bother to read even the simple instructions). For example, folding it up involves basically three basic steps: 1. Lift off the two foot rests, 2. Unlatch the "handlebars" (what you push the chair with) & fold them down, 3. Pull up the seat in the middle - one hand each on the front & back. To set it up is essentially the reverse. Since we got it several months ago, no one who has loaded in its compact state has had any trouble with figuring out how to set it up for usage, and having done that, had no trouble folding it up to stow in the car.There are other features of this chair that are important to know about. For example, the adjustable foot rests were included in the price we paid (unlike some of the cheaper, heavier transport chairs) - and do NOT just assume that heavier weight means sturdier!). Adjustability is very important, no matter the height of the person who will be seated in it. Another is the way the armrest angle off towards the front of chair. This feature allows you to roll the chair in closer to a table than other designs, which makes it much easier to reach your dinner plate, drinking glass and utensils at a restaurant. Once close in, set the easy to use foot brakes to keep the chair in place.That reminds me of some important safety practices that we always impress on anyone who's taking Dad out with his chair - and you might want to also, no matter what chair you choose: Always set the foot brakes when parking the chair (such as at a restaurant or the movies). Also, before someone gets in or out of the chair, make sure the brakes are set and that the footrests are swung back out of the way (on the sides of the chair.)I should point out that, as a transport chair, it is specifically designed for someone who will have an attendant of some kind to push him/her about at all times. This makes it's function different from a traditional wheelchair where the person in the chair can move themselves along using the circular grips on each wheel. It's an important difference in functionality that must be considered at the outset. If a transport chair is what you need, I can honestly say that we have been really happy with this transport chair and hope that this review makes clear the reasons why.
