Wheel chair works for us! 
2007-12-17
I was looking for a light-weight easy to fold wheel chair for my elderly mother at a reasonable cost and found this great product. I can really attest to that after I had to wheel my 260 lb. husband into the hospital last night (over streets and little curbs). He could have walked but was in distress so we figured it would serve not only as a transporter, but a more comfortable 'chair' while waiting in the offices/hospital rooms. It surely provided that comfort, and it wasn't much of a 'push' - considering his bulk - for me to manuever. Nice little compact chair.
Perfect - don't hesitate, get it now 2007-10-25
I am thrilled w/the transport chair. It is lightweight and easy to use. I couldn't believe how easy it was to get the chair out of the box and use asap. You only have to put the foot rests on...and they simply slip on. Granny sits a little low in in for whatever reason, so we put a regular bed pillow underneath her as a nice cushion. As another poster said, this chair will do its part, make the chair pushers happy, but won't omit or diminish complaining from some riders.
should have bought it sooner! 2007-10-17
I was very happy with the chair as soon as I opened the box. It was very sturdy, well made, extremely easy to assemble, and very sleek & nice looking. The first time my Mom used it she like it alot. And my father loved it even more because it was very lightweight and very portable as he is the one usually pushing the chair. Now when they hop in a taxi, the chair folds up easily and fits in even the smallest trunks nicely. Since I bought this chair, my Mom has been going out alot more often and doesn't think twice about how she will be getting around anymore. Should have bought it sooner!

Great Transport Chair 2007-09-21
This is a great transport chair. Needed in a hurry - came via next day by Amazon Prime. 1/2 the price of local stores for a 1 day wait.
Chair is easy to handle and light enough for my sister to put in trunk of car. Foot rests are detachable and chair folds just by picking it up, so it is easy to store. "Parking" brakes are easy to operate. Color Blue is a very dark blue that looks distinguished - darker blue than the image looks on web site. Ships fully assembled, except for foot rests which easily clip on and off. The upper back and push arm fold down to minimize size when storing in car trunk or like.

Great Lightweight Wheelchair 2008-05-26
I bought this for my mother who is mobile, but has trouble walking more than around her apartment. This wheelchair was assembled right out of the box except for the footrest which installed easily. It is amazingly lightweight--easy to put into a car trunk, and also easy to maneuver. I do recommend buying a seat cushion if the user is going to be sitting in it for any length of time. They Fly-Weight chair folds up simply by pulling up the seat. It stands on its own in that position. There is a small pocket on the back of the chair suitable for a wallet, eyeglasses, etc. The arms are padded. My Mom recently attended an all day family event and was in the chair for about 4 hours and seemed comfortable. We did have a seat cushion in the chair.
We are very happy with this a s transport chair. This may not be suitable for someone who needs to be in a chair for long periods of time.
I highly recommend this product.

Drive Medical FW19BL Fly-Weight Transport Chair, 19 Inch, Blue
I saw this chair at almost twice the price at a local drugstore chain. It's great to use for shopping trips as it is very light,(19pds) and stores easily. I can now take my Mom out without breaking my back loading a heavy wheelchair in and out ot the car.
Very happy with the Drive wheelchair 2008-03-23
Someone recommended the Drive fly-lite wheelchair (we purchased the fly-weight wheelchair which was slightly less expensive), but they paid over $300 in a local medical supply store; we paid about $125 at Amazon. This is a well built, fits in smaller trunks as even the handles fold, and is light weight. We use to lug a heavy wheelchair around, and this has made bringing a wheelchair a breeze. The doctor's office was so impressed with it, and especially the price, they plan to purchase one through Amazon also. If you need a light weight wheelchair, this is the one to purchase. I had also called Drive to ask the difference between the fly-lite and fly-weight wheelchairs, and the main thing seemed to be this has four larger size wheels, which is easier to push over rough surfaces - yet was $50 less expensive. Highly recommend purshasing, and stop killing your back carrying/lifting a heavy wheelchair.
