Drive Medical Lightweight Expedition Folding Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes - Portable Support - Large Rear Wheels - Compact Folding - Comfortable Design - Blue

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.

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.

This is perfect for my 92 year old dad. Very lightweight and folds for easy storage. Dad is about 5'8" and weighs about 150 pounds. Not sure how well it would work for someone who is larger than that, but great for him. I sat in it an moved myself around with my feet (please note, the back wheels are not meant for the rider to propel themselves) and it was very easy to push/pull myself and turn in circles. Almost no resistance. The back wheels have locks so no concerns about a run away wheelchair. All in all, money well spent.

My 82 year wife has dementia and is unsteady on her feet. Although she can walk with a cane, I wanted to get something that was easy to pack in the car and suitable for getting to Drs. appointments, or for a short stroll around the neighborhood. This chair is good for those purposes. Pros: 1. Relatively lightweight and easy to fold and stow in back of SUV. 2. Easy to fold for storage. Doesn't take up much floor space when folded. 3. Quite sturdy. That said, there are also some limitations. 1. The 12", solid wheels are OK for short hauls. But for long hauls it can be a bit tiring. So for long hauls, get a chair with larger wheels (preferably with pneumatic tires). 2. The hand grips that I use for pushing it are pretty hard. I ordered some softer grips. Hopefully that will help. OVERALL: GOOD FOR OUR USE.

This is an amazing wheelchair. It is lightweight, has all the features of the best items. It comes fully assembled and the quality is outstanding. It collapses easily for loading into a car or when gate checking before boarding the plane. I put a strap around it and take off the foot supports just before entering the plane. The larger back wheels really make a difference and enable easy mobility over all kinds of surfaces. It is very comfortable to sit in and easy to push.

I purchased this to help my 92 yr old father recover from a poorly healed hip fracture. We have an older home with smaller hallways & a few odd angled doorways. This chair is small enough to move around easily, yet large & comfortable enough to accommodate him (6’ tall , about 200 lbs). It turns on a dime, making it easy to get thru our angled doorways. It also folds up easy & is very light, making it no problem for me to lift in & out of the back of our SUV. It’s small enough that it should fit in most trunks too. It’s light & easy enough for him to paddle it around the house using his feet, which is good exercise for him too. It’s a great, lightweight, durable little wheelchair!

Love this chair! Great quality. My mom says it's very comfortable. Like that the breaks are on the handles so no bending over. East to fold up.

It’s everything we wanted and needed. One of the best features is that the handles are high enough that my tall husband (6’4”) doesn’t have to bend over to push it. The ride is very smooth. He’s found that it folds up more compactly than another transport chair we have. The locking mechanism works very well, and the location on the handles makes it easier to use than others we’ve tried. The fact that it’s narrower than other transport chairs may be a problem for some, but it’s a big plus for me. I’m short and somewhat compact, making this perfect for me. It’s well constructed and light in comparison to others. Highly recommended.
