Just curious –
Good for elderly learning how to use legs again.
Has been great. She uses it around the house. Bought the larger size for comfort, and she has room to wiggle and carry her teddy bear. We took the foot pedals off, so she uses her feet to maneuver. Progressing to walking with a walker, but will keep this while she builds up leg strength. It is used by an elderly woman, and we added a pad for the seat to reduce chance of pressure sores. It is supposed to be lighter than a regular wheelchair, but it is heavy duty and well made.

Best wheelchair ever!
This has been the best purchase for us. It is sturdy but not as heavy as other wheelchairs. It folds up like a breeze with minimal effort. I put the foot holders on today and it literally took me 5 minutes. We decided to buy one because we felt it would be easier than having to run into a doctors office first to ask if you could borrow their wheelchair for the appointment and risk it not being available or too small. My husband is 6 feet 5 inches tall. This wheelchair fits him comfortably and I don’t have to bend forward to push it. Best of all it fits inside our vehicle behind my front seat and it is easy to get it in and out. And the price is right on top of all that!!

Really excellent transport wheelchair
Far less expensive that I can get it through the insurance company I can buy this beautiful wheelchair on Amazon. It is not designed to be self propelled. It’s designed to save space by not having gigantic wheels take up width on the wheelchair. It’s as late as you could ever get a bariatric wheelchair to be. It’s super comfortable. It’s got adjustable footrest, which swing away, It’s got padded armrest that let you slide under a desk or a dining table. The seat and back are slightly padded, but I preferred to add a cushion from cushion lab. This is the large size cushion you see in the photo. It’s really a well-made product. It takes a couple hours to air out as it stinks a little when you first get it. It is 22 inches wide ( Transport wheelchairs come in many widths from 16 inches to over 24 inches ) and 18 inches deep, which is standard. It has handles which let you pick up the seat and fold it up easier. It’s not designed to sit in all day every day, but it’s great to go out and have a good time as it fits in the car much better and is about half the weight of regular wheelchairs.

More pros than cons…
Pro — Built like a tank! Well-made with sturdy, quality materials and components.Con — Built like a tank! And just about as heavy. Better have some muscles to get it in and out of your car!Pro — Drive is a reliable name in wheelchairs and has been dependable for us in the past.Con — The only feature that does not seem as sturdy to us are the footrests. They feel rather flimsy and as if they might break easily. I will have to be careful to not put undue pressure on them.Pro — There is a large, roomy pocket behind the seat.Con — Couple of nit-picky things 1) The arm rests could have been a few inches longer. They feel a little short for my comfort. 2) The shade of blue is brighter, royal blue rather than the steel blue depicted. I know this is not just my monitor since all the other blue chairs show up as royal blue, which is why I liked this one — because I thought it was different. And yes, I know that really IS nit-picky and I shouldn’t even mention it.All-in-all, good value for the money.

Comfortable 22″ Wide Seat; Smooth Mobility; Strong Frame
I received this wheel chair today and have used it in the house several times already. It offers smooth mobility with a strong frame for heavier people.The wheel chair came folded in half in a large cardboard box. The chair came mostly assembled, just had to attach the foot rests. The arm rests came attached but are easily removable.I really like this chair — the seat is wide enough for my larger hips, and it’s comfortable to sit in without having to use a seat cushion, although I plan on using one eventually. I’m short, so I needed to place a small lumbar pillow at the small of my back, which was no problem to do.My husband says it’s comfortable for him to push me in the chair and he doesn’t feel too much strain in his back or shoulders.The chair isn’t designed to be self-propelled. The wheels are placed very low to the ground and are small, so it’s more like a transport chair where someone must push you around in it.I haven’t used it outdoors, yet, but if I experience problems when I do, I’ll update my review.

Quality chair
We are thoroughly pleased with this quality transport chair. We bought it to safely bring a 91 year old loved one from our car into our house when she comes for regular visits. We put two seat cushions on the seat and against the backrest. She says it’s the most comfortable chair she’s ever sat in, and she feels like royalty being wheeled around. She’s at the point where using her walker is getting dangerous when outside on paved surfaces, so this is a God send. It is heavy to lift when folded to put in the trunk of the car, so we’ve decided to purchase a second one to keep at her house. Having one at both locations keeps us from having to lift it in and out of our car.

Easy to move and convenient to go from point A to B. Armrests can be inserted or left off.

Everything was great!

Good strong quality. Lots of room. A little harder to get through normal size doors.
