Review: **A Wonderful Purchase for My 85-Year-Old Mom** - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I purchased this **Medline Lightweight Foldable Transport Wheelchair** for my 85-year-old mother, and it has been one of the best investments we've made for her comfort and mobility. The first thing I noticed was how lightweight it is. I can easily fold it up, lift it into the trunk of the car, and take it with us to doctor's appointments, family gatherings, shopping trips, or simply getting out of the house. The folding mechanism is quick and simple, which makes traveling so much easier. The 12-inch rear wheels roll smoothly over sidewalks, parking lots, and indoor floors, and the handbrakes give me added confidence when we're on ramps or uneven surfaces. I never feel like I'm struggling to keep the chair under control. Most importantly, my mom says it's comfortable. The seat provides good support, and she feels secure while riding in it. Being able to get her out more often has truly improved her quality of life and given her a greater sense of independence. The wheelchair feels sturdy, well-built, and dependable without being bulky or difficult to handle. It's exactly what we needed for someone who doesn't need a full-time wheelchair but does need safe, comfortable transportation for longer outings. If you're caring for an aging parent or loved one, I highly recommend this wheelchair. It has made life easier for both my mom and me, and I wouldn't hesitate to purchase it again. Review: Great chair but has no brakes that can be set by the occupant or the caregiver. - I have a habit of ordering things without properly checking all the information surrounding the item. That was true of this wheelchair. Please allow me to explain. That said, you will notice that I have given it five stars. Why? First of all, it's well made and large and wide enough to accommodate a large male, as I weigh 225 lbs. It's light, about 25 lbs. or so and folds up easily in the trunk of my car. The issue with me is that it doesn't have any type of hand brake that can be set by the caregiver of the passenger. For instance, today when I got it out of the trunk of my car and was occupied with getting some other things organized, it started to roll away. Also, the lack of a brake that can be set means that when I enter and exit the chair, I have to hold on to the arms carefully to prevent the wheelchair from moving. Yes, it has brakes, but only those operated by the caregiver behind the chair. And they don't lock. They release their grip when the caregiver relaxes the pressure on them. If it had some type of locking mechanism, it would be better, as that would eliminate the possibility of it rolling away and also provide a more stable surface for the occupant to enter and exit. Today when I used it for the first time at the DMV, I removed the two foot rests which made it fit better in my car as well as give me more freedom to use my feet to propel me forward or backward as the occasion demanded. Please understand, I am still able to walk but I get tired, especially when waiting in line at the DMV. It was so convenient today as I used it as a walker from my car into the DMV, walked to the handicap line, then sat down in the chair and began to inch forward as the line was moving. Really worked out well. After I was finished, I stood up, used it again as a walker to go to my car then folded it into the trunk. Well worth the $169 or so I paid for it. ## Features - LIGHTWEIGHT AND DURABLE: Lightweight, 26 lb., folding transport chair for adults has a sturdy aluminum frame; 300 lb. weight capacity - ENHANCED SAFETY FEATURES: Easy-to-squeeze hand brakes and rear-wheel manual locking brakes allow for safe and secure transfers - COMFORTABLE WITH EASY IN/OUT: Full-length cushioned armrests for comfort; spacious 19” wide x 16” deep seat; swing-away, detachable footrest make it easy to get in and out of the seat - FOLDS EASILY FOR TRANSPORT: Compact design folds easily with swing-away footrest that lock in place for convenient storage and transport in car trunk; no assembly required with easy-clean nylon fabric - GREATER MANEUVERABILITY WITH 12” REAR WHEELS: Large rear wheels coupled with swivel front wheels maneuver smoothly around tight corners, doorways or ramps; ideal for inside or outside ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0088N3BWA | | Additional Features | FoldingOutdoorFull Length Arms | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,871 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #1 in Attendant & Transport Wheelchairs #1,018 in Sales & Deals | | Brake Style | Hand brake | | Brand | Medline | | Brand Name | Medline | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 12,857 Reviews | | Frame Material | Aluminum | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00884389150804 | | Handle Type | Push Handles | | Included Components | MDS808210AB | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 24.5"D x 10"W x 37.5"H | | Item Nype Name | MDS808210AB | | Item Weight | 25 pounds | | Manufacturer | Medline | | Manufacturer Part Number | MDS808210ABE | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Maximum Weight Recommendation | 300 pounds | | Model Name | Medline MDS808210AR | | Model Number | MDS808210ABE | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 24.5"D x 10"W x 37.5"H | | Product Style | Compact,Manual | | Seat Depth | 16 inches | | Seat Height | 18 inches | | Seat Width | 19 inches | | Style | Compact,Manual | | Turn Radius | 38 inches | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Wheel Size | 12 inches | | Wheel Type | Rear Wheels | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Medline - **Color:** Blue - **Item Weight:** 25 pounds - **Product Dimensions:** 24.5"D x 10"W x 37.5"H - **Style:** Compact,Manual ## Images ![Lightweight Foldable Transport Wheelchair with Handbrakes and 12-Inch Wheels, Blue Frame, Black Upholstery - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TQVhQLkOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does chair come with passenger accessible wheel brakes (as pictured, but not mentioned in description) and is leg rest height adjustable?** A: The chair does not have passenger accessible brakes .

To help people decide on whether or not this chair would help, I'm going to explain them. First, the chair is totally unsuitable for use outdoors unless it's a very smooth flat surface or an aluminum ramp. Anything else, and the chair becomes an unstable option that can dump the occupant out, especially if they are physically weak. It didn't work to take her to and from the vehicle in this chair, as we had about 20 feet of typical grass-and-gravel driveway to navigate. Second, if the patient is weak and has no core strength, it's not going to be a stable place for them to sit and they will slide out. you'll need to use a belt to hold them safely in place. the foot rests do help, but they are not going to hold the patient very securely, so I'd definitely recommend the belt for most. You may also need small cushions to stabilize them in the chair and prevent leaning sideways, etc. (Cut pool noodles are great for that) For people who just need a chair occasionally on "bad days", this is definitely functional. I had zero concerns about the quality of the build. It folds up compactly for taking along, but there again, don't take it to the park unless it's all paved. For pushing someone to shop, it works too. It's not going to let a person move themselves, so keep that in mind too. Overall, I'd call it a great value for most caregivers and patients who need a slightly narrower chair for doorways. ## Frequently Bought Together - Medline Lightweight Foldable Transport Wheelchair with Handbrakes and 12-Inch Wheels, Blue Frame, Black Upholstery - DMI Seat and Chair Cushion for Office Chairs, Wheelchairs, Scooters, Kitchen Chairs or Car Seats, FSA HSA Eligible, for Support and Height while Reducing Stress on Back, Tailbone or Sciatica - DMI Wheelchair Bag Provides Storage on Wheelchairs and Transport Chairs for Elderly and Disabled, FSA HSA Eligible, Straps for Quick and Easy Install, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/3646150-lightweight-foldable-transport-wheelchair-with-handbrakes-and-12-inch-wheels](https://www.desertcart.us/products/3646150-lightweight-foldable-transport-wheelchair-with-handbrakes-and-12-inch-wheels) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-10-11*
