Lightweight Transport Wheelchair/Wheel Chair 12" Wheels

Customer Reviews

Excellent lightweight chair.

2008-01-17
As I don't have a lot of muscle, I appreciate this chair being lightweight and the ease of taking it in and out of the trunk. We took it for a "hike" on an old railway trail and, as with any wheeled cycle, if we stayed on the hardpack it was fairly easy to push my husband. With the brakes being so handy my husband can also use the wheelchair for some exercise as it helps with his balance and he can also sit down if he starts to freeze up or becomes uncomfortable. We feel this chair was an excellent buy.

An excellent transport chair for the money

This chair was delivered in three days with standard shipping! Assembly is minimal - just attach the removeable footrests. This is a surprisingly sturdy yet relatively light weight chair. It has a high quality appearance. The larger rear wheels make it easier to push. A nice feature is the dual-control wheel brakes/locks that can be operated by either the passenger or the pusher. One suggested addition: place a small cushion on the seat for greater comfort. We used this chair for a week traveling all around Disney World and it proved to be entirely satisfactory. I would highly recommend this chair.

Cute Red Wheelchair - Great Buy - great product

2007-08-09
This was a purchase for my Mom who came to town for a visit. She cannot walk distances. This wheelchair is red and it is very attractive. Transport means just that, someone else does the pushing - there are no big back wheels that allow the rider to push themselves - also why it's more compact and cute. Very sytlish. We were able to do so much more with my Mom that we would not have been able to do otherwise - Braves game, the Aquarium, CNN studio tour (btw, does not allow strollers), Centennial Park - watching the kids play in the water rings, World of Coke... It's great for airport use too - just gatecheck it. It is so lightweight & compact - can probably fit in any trunk. If it were not so cute, I don't think my Mom would have allowed us to use it.

An excellent wheelchair to travel with

Easy to tote, but muscles a plus

2007-06-30
Compared to a regular wheelchair with the big tires, this one is a lot easier to get in and out of your car as well as cruising through small areas a regular one has trouble with. A regular wheelchair is easier to push because of the big wheels, but this chair is still fairly easy to push. Uphill and all-terrain driving requires some muscle power that may limit some weaker "pushers" but overall its not too bad. I definitely appreciate the breaking mechanism on this little chair too -- downhill is not as scary and speed can be maintained. Also, this chair can pop wheelies over doorstops, gaps and curbs a bit easier than some of the bigger chairs, and the little foot pegs on the back help with that. I would have liked the pocket to be wider on the back, since the size really limits what you can stuff in there. Don't plan on packing a sandwich or a piece of fruit, more like some crackers and a fruit roll-up or other small items. However, the price is great, since it's a lot cheaper than renting a wheelchair for only 2 months. Too bad they didn't come out with a chair with a 14" tire, since that might help with some of the pushing effort you exert with chairs with smaller tires. Overall, I think we made a good choice with this chair.

The perfect cadillac, all that is missing are headlights!!!

My mom recently got sick and had to use a wheel chair but the cost of owing one was a little daunting. I am fortunate enough to have a medical supple store in my neighborhood and I usually rent one but thought that with my mom getting older this would be a wise investment. So I bought the bullet and order this product. It arrived on time, and 98% completely assembled. Just needed to add the foot rest. The wheels wear just the right size and the brakes on the top are wonderful for inclines. It moves with ease. Not heavy but once fully assembled could need a little muscle to get in and out of the car. My mom was able to see places that usually would be off limits. This product is great. My mom calls it her little Cadillac. All thats missing are the headlights.

Product arrived quickly. Wheel chair seems great.

The chair arrived in two days, I think. It looks nice and my mom likes it. All seems as advertised. I can lift it easily into the CRV and Highlander. (Female, 5'3"). We haven't used it yet. Bad weather for outings in Minnesota, but I expect it to be great for places where I need to bring a wheel chair.

Great wheelchair

2008-04-15
This is a great wheel chair. Lite weight, takes very little space in trunk of car and wheels very easy. No bumps felt by person sitting in chair and it is very comfortable. A very good price considering they want over $200.00 for the basic model with small wheels in N.Y. state.

Love this chair

This chair is lightweight and very easy to manuver around. The footrests can be very easily removed to make it even easier to put in the backseat of car. We leave it in the car and use for all outings. The passenger says it's very comfortable, even for extended sitting/riding. We definitely recommend this chair--and it arrived 2 days after ordering!

This is the one!
