5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Quality and Value, September 15, 2007
This review is from: Transport Folding Wheelchair with Burgundy Aluminum Frame, Dual Handbrakes, Padded Armrests, Detachable Footrests, and Drop Back Handle by MedMobile. (Health and Beauty)
I was stressed by all the choices and price ranges when looking for a chair. This one is excellent. It has all the features you will need (handbrakes; bars you step on while pushing to make the front wheels lift over curbs/door sills; and the strap for behind the legs of the rider are important--don't buy a chair without them!!). Don't let the small wheels scare you. Pushing the chair on rugs and hard surfaces is a breeze (my 120 Lb wife has no problem pushing). It will handle hard dirt surfaces and solid grass O.K. Remember with transport chairs the rider cannot move him/herself alone like in a wheelchair--someone has to push. Folding/unfolding the unit is a breeze and it stores against a wall or in a trunk very nicely when folded. If you need a transport chair for under $300. buy this one. All the feature for a great price.

Makes life easier!, February 23, 2008
This review is from: Transport Folding Wheelchair with Burgundy Aluminum Frame, Dual Handbrakes, Padded Armrests, Detachable Footrests, and Drop Back Handle by MedMobile. (Health and Beauty)
I bought this chair to take on a future trip overseas with my
daughter who has cerebral palsy. I've tried it out at the mall
and am very pleased with the quality of the product. It folds
up and fits nicely into to the trunk of my husband's smaller car.
The seat and back are padded which probably adds to the comfort of
of the user. I did have trouble figuring out how to fold the
push handles down but the company's customer service person
promptly contacted me and talked me through it. The chair is a
little heavier than some others I looked at online but I can
hang carryon bags on back and not have to worry about tipping
it so I think that is a good thing. The handles could use more
cushioning because my hands hurt after going through the mall but
I remedied the situation by adding extra gel covers that we had received
to put on the handles of her crutches. This was a good choice for us
and a lot lighter and more convenient to use than her electric wheelchair!

Excellent! Just what I needed!, May 12, 2007

This item is perfect for wheeling my Mom around. She feels comfortable and the foot rests are ideal. Plus, it is easy to fold up and fits nicely in the trunk. The hand brakes are also a nice touch. Lastly, my Mom love the red finish!
