Perfect wheelchair for travel and temporary mobility needs!
We purchased this for my dad to use on a cruise while he was waiting for knee surgery, and it exceeded our expectations in every way.The folding mechanism is smooth and intuitive – no wrestling with complicated latches or struggling to get it compact. This was crucial for navigating cruise ship logistics, getting through doorways, and storing it in our cabin. The weight is very manageable compared to other brands we considered, which made a huge difference when we needed to lift it or maneuver it ourselves.What really impressed us was how well it handled crowded spaces. The wheelchair moved effortlessly through busy ship corridors, dining areas, and tight elevator spaces without feeling bulky or unwieldy. The folding footrests were a thoughtful touch that made boarding and getting in/out of tight spaces much easier.For anyone needing a reliable, travel-friendly wheelchair for temporary use or vacation mobility, this is an excellent choice. It gave my dad the independence he needed to fully enjoy the cruise without compromising on portability or ease of use. Its comfortable enough for longer term uses but we didn’t need to, but wouldn’t have hesitated using it longer if needed and will keep it for future needs (hopefully won’t need it though)

my mom use
Since my mother had an unfortunate fall, her mobility has become inconvenient. In order to make it easier for my mother to travel, we began to look for a wheelchair that is both practical and portable. After many comparisons and considerations, we finally chose the Medline durable folding steel transport wheelchair with swinging footrests, 19-inch seat width, black frame and black decoration. After using it for a period of time, the wheelchair not only meets my mother’s daily travel needs, but also brings great convenience when we take my mother out and even take a plane.The frame is made of sturdy steel, and there is no sign of looseness or damage even if it is folded and unfolded frequently. For people like my mother who need to rely on a wheelchair for a long time, a stable and reliable wheelchair is the cornerstone of travel. We don’t have to worry about the wheelchair having problems during use, which makes my mother feel more at ease in her daily activities.Our family often needs to take my mother to the hospital for follow-up examinations, and a wheelchair that can be easily folded and carried is very important to us. This wheelchair is very simple to fold and is small in size, so it can be easily put into the trunk of the car. If you need to get on the plane, this wheelchair can pass directly without changing.The design of the swinging footrest is also very user-friendly. Sometimes mom needs to adjust her sitting position or put her feet up to rest. At this time, the footrest can be easily swung to the side without hindering her movements.

A great value and virtually no set up
There was virtually no set up other than putting the adjustable foot pads on. This is very lightweight and although we have not used it yet, I believe it is going to be phenomenal. My mother suffered a stroke and I will be using this to transport her until she regains function. It folds easily and even though I weigh 85 pounds I can easily lift it into my car. If I could give this 10 stars I would.Of note—-This is not a heavy duty wheelchair. It is to be used for transport and light home use . It is a great value.

Two thumbs up from this physical therapist 🙂
Im a PT, and was in need of a W/C to transport my Dad to appointments, etc, as even the walk from handicapped parking has become challenging for him. This is a Medline, a trusted brand for years in my profession, and this affordable and convenient to purchase option did not disappoint. No assembly at all, just put on the footrests, pop up the back to click in place, and you’re a go! Even comes with a seat belt if that is needed. Solid construction, and easy to collapse down to put in the trunk of my car. Fits through a standard doorway. Would 100% recommend to anyone needing one for home or for transport of someone with mobility issues!

Lightweight and Sturdy
This is amazing to use for moving my grandmother around the house. It’s also compact and light weight enough for me to load into and out of the car by myself. Weighs roughly 26lbs and fits into a trunk just fine.
