Review: Easy to manuever Transport Chair - Great for use to transport my Mom to Medical appointments. I highly recommend it. This chair is sturdy, easy to manuver with Mom in it, and is worth a few dollars more than cheaper chairs. I bought this to replace a transport chair I bought earlier this year (in January). I didn't do a lot of research at the time since I needed the chair ASAP. Features to consider if you are looking for a transport chair: - Rear wheels - this one has 12 inch wheels vs the 8 in wheels on the other one making it easier to maneuver than the other one. The smaller wheels on the other one would also get caught in the cracks (between bricks) at the doctor's office. No problem with this one getting caught and me worrying about dumping Mom from the chair as I fight to get it loose. - Locking brakes - this one has locking hand brakes instead of having to push a lever on the wheels to lock the wheels. - Easy to fold and put in car trunk. (The first one was as well.) - Light weight and easy for me to handle. This one is about 19 lbs vs 15 on the first chair. The extra 4 lbs is not significant. If I had done more research, I would have bought this one to start with - as of the date of posting this review, both this chair and the one I bought originally are the same price. Not sure what the price of this one was when I bought the other one in January but it's a no brainer at the same price. Even if it were an extra $40-50 or more, this one is well worth the extra cost.
Review: Light and foldable, travel wheelchair - My mother in law is 89 and has mobility difficulties. She can walk, but needs a cane and not for long distances. My husband gifted her and our kids a week in Paris. We were able to take the foldable wheel chair on the plane as a carry on. Everyone on Air France was wonderfully accommodating. It folds easily and is very light. You have to remove the foot rests. So bring a small drawstring bag and store it in the overhead. It’s very easy to take off and on. The larger back rear wheels rolled easily over the cobblestone streets and narrow sidewalks of Paris. Its small size fits on the tiny elevators and crowded bistros. We did not attempt the metro. We used Uber XL or a van. I would highly recommend this chair for travel if you are with a mobility compromised person.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What shade of blue is the blue model? Navy, light, dark, bright?**
A: Ours is Navy blue, quite dark.  We have also added a wheelchair cushion makes it more comfy.

**Q: en que material esta**
A: Alunio. El tamańo ideal para transportarlo en carro (auto-coche). Muy practico.

**Q: How wide is the whole chair.  The available space for my mother to move dad into the bathroom is just 21 inches so I need to know if this will fit.**
A: it's close as it's 20-1/2" outside armrest to outside arm rest. If you have possibly a 2nd bathroom you could take the door off as I did for clearance. That gives you roughly another 1-3/8". I bought a shower rod, rings and used a cheap shower curtain to act as a replacement door. My bathroom was laid out so that was possible and with a towel bar close I just used a bungee cord to hold the curtain back. I also bought a 60" door jam protector, cut them in half so I had 2 30" pairs and used 1 pair to protect the jams. I have used them for a year and still have the 2nd set to use if the get damaged bad. Hope some of this has given you some Ideas.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the chair when it is fully folded?**
A: 29" H   7"W  24"L
As I've said in previous posts, this is an awesome chair.  I've had mine a few months now.  My wife has no problem lifting it (even with one hand) and putting it in the car.
A LOT lighter than a full size wheelchair. Great buy!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Wheelchair ended up being a Travel Godsend
*by J***. on April 13, 2025*

My wife broke her foot three weeks before we were to go on a vacation in Europe. We decided that we were going to go, and we knew we were going to need a travel wheelchair. We ended up buying this one, and we found it extremely affordable. We weren’t sure if it would hold up at this price point, but we got it anyway. It ultimately was a godsend for our trip and held up great. This wheelchair made it through two international flights (we gate-checked it both ways and it was never damaged). We used it in six European cities (with transport that included trains, taxis, and rental cars). It traversed old stone streets (although it was hard to push over cobblestones), as well as non-paved paths. The little peddle things on the back helped to lift the chair for curbs and bumps. It is indeed lightweight (19 lbs), and everything folds. This wheelchair really saw it all and we were thrilled it stayed intact. We have kept this wheelchair and will lend in to friends and relatives who might need it. We highly recommend this chair, but keep in mind these tips below if you travel with this chair (or to just consider if you get it): Remember the push handles fold down. That was very helpful for taxi trunks; Purchase at least two Velcro straps. You’ll need them to secure the wheelchair when it’s folded (especially if it’s going on a plane). Take a small bag with you to store the removable footpads (we detached them, put them in an adidas bag, and took them on the plane when the chair was gate-checked). You’ll need a cushion if someone sits in the chair for a long time. I-Drive sells a pad which is fine, but it’s too heavy and bulky for travel. We ended up buying a chair cushion from wal-mart and that was light and did the trick for travel. The hand-brakes are attached to the push handles. If you push the handles down, it locks the wheels (I did not see that info on any instructions/manuals, and only learned that the wheels locked when an airport staffer told us). We would definitely but this chair again. For the price, we found it to be a good value.
