Healthcare S-115 Ergonomic Ultra Lightweight Manual Wheelchair, Rose Red, 18" Seat Width

Perfect wheelchair - works well and very comfortable and lightweight.

I am a 77-year-old male weighing 220 lbs. and 5’10”. I have osteo-arthritis and stenosis of the lower spine. I can stand for short periods of time and walk slowly for short distances with the use of a cane. I live independently and can manage most household chores. I have fallen a few times. I love walking. For the last several years I have rented wheelchairs to allow me more mobility when I travel or visit museums, street fairs, and neighborhood walking-tours, etc. My condition is degenerative, but I still want to do as much as i can for as long as I can. So, I decided to buy my own wheelchair. I found the options overwhelming and did many hours of online research. Eventually I found this chair which seemed to meet all my requirements for size, weight, appearance, durability, etc. and ordered it. Unpacking and set-up were a breeze. The only help I needed was to remove it from the box. This chair exceeded all my expectations. I ordered a seat cushion more to raise the height than for comfort, although the chair itself is high enough. I was also concerned about the width because my desk chair is a little wider. This chair turns out to be perfectly comfortable. I also ordered a bag for additional storage although it comes with a small bag. I was undecided about anti-tippers and have since them so I can feel more secure. While this chair was a little above my budget, I am glad I chose it, for its overall style, comfort, and weight and quality. I recommend this chair without reservation.

Ultra light weight says it all!

I was a little hesitant buying a wheelchair on line, but my 92 year old Dad and I were traveling to a wedding and I knew I needed one for him. Amazon seemed to be the best bet. (Not a lot of time to shop and I live in a small town so the choices are limited at the 2 medical supply stores in town). I did quite a bit of research on the various chairs (including the manufacturer's web site) and finally settled on this one. It's Great! Light weight, easy to fold and it fits into the back seat of my compact car. My Dad likes it (comfort) and because of the ease of getting it ready for him uses it instead of his walker when we're out and about. The only "down" side are the pads. When you are folding it up they tend to get in the way and so we don't use them all that much since it's only used for travel. Highly recommend.

It is light, even though it states 18" which it is I measured it, it feels snug, 20" would be better if you are thinking 18" would be right for you, maybe as I loose weight 18" might be good. The leg rest have to be bolted together, they don't use the spring clip like most other companies (they do supply tools). the plastic feet rest feel cheap, and the edges are not rounded so if you use your calf's to lower them once they are up the edges will dig into your skin (wearing shorts of course), the ride is nice it moves very easily, the arm rests feel to me a little to far back and they do not seem to be adjustable. The strap for the back of you calf is nice but the legs can't be swung out of the way with it attached, even though the strap connect with Velcro it's just another thing that gets in the way, the pad for you butt and back Velcro on and is easy to remove, there is a small pouch on the back for the instruction and the tools which was a nice surprise it can even hold your keys. Some minor improvements from the company and this chair would be awesome....
