Blue Streak Lightweight Wheelchair, Footrests, 18" Seat | Portable Folding Wheelchair Features Desk Arms, Durable Steel Frame and Swing-away Footrests for Easy Transport and Storage

Excellent chair at this price. I would buy it again without hesitation - definitely a great deal. The seat is well-stitched and the calf-support strap is also sturdy. This strap should have added little strips to pass through the chair frame to keep the strap up high. As is, it may slip downwards, towards the ankles. I am going to add some of those Velcro network cable "bundle" strips to accomplish this. But this strap does work - it is not a deal-breaker. The paint and finishing on all metal parts is excellent. The large wheels are a thick plastic - not the rubber ones like on more costly chairs. this is why the price is so low - there has to be some tradeoffs. That said, this chair will last a very long time - especially if used for transport, such as to and from a doctor's appointment - shopping - such as that and not a daily "all day" chair in the home. It is also marketed as such - "lightweight, folding, etc". The wheels will be very durable for carpeting, tile and smooth concrete. Extended sidewalk use and definitely a lot of use on asphalt will grind away at the wheels. So - a great chair for it's advertised use. Think of it as a "rehab" chair or for when the user simply needs a chair sometimes vs a walker with the seat feature - when the legs are in need of a break.

Wonderful chair, easy to assemble, foot holders, nice weight, folds up nicely. Easy to store, lightweight, brakes are fantastic, easy to handle, very stable and durable, comfortable size

I was very impressed with the quality of this product considering the reasonable price. It arrived fully assembled except for the foot rests, which I didn’t even need so for me it was usable straight out of the box. Shipping was fast and everything was intact when it arrived. This chair is just the right size for maneuvering around a house with wide doorways, the only doorway it will not go through is a standard size door. It is lighter and seems a bit smaller than standard wheelchairs, but I don’t know if I would call it lightweight. But I suppose it would be a lot easier to get into the trunk of a car than a standard full-size wheelchair. It’s very maneuverable, it can turn on a dime which is great if you’re using it in your house where you don’t have a great deal of space to turn around. Highly recommend. Footnote: I forgot to add in my original review that the texture of the wheel that you use to operate the wheelchair is a little rough. I ended up having to wear fingerless gloves on my left hand after a few days. I suppose this is done to maximize your grip and I noticed that the grips on my walker are the same. I also had to adapt the walker handles with a cushion cover. However, this is really the only negative comment I have and it is for the manufacturers. This feature would not prevent me from purchasing this wheelchair.

I injured my ankle and, while I can walk short distances, long ones are an issue and will be for quite a while as I heal. I had tickets to a live show that I bought months ago. That involved way more walking than I could do. I had been considering buying a wheelchair for my older sister who has mobility issues so, when I saw this one for under $100, I figured I would use it for the show and any other challenging situations that come up while I heal plus we would have it for my sister when she needed it. It did come completely assembled except for the leg rests. That's good because my husband dreads assembling stuff. It is blue but not garish. The seat is 18" which is plenty for me (135 pounds) but my heavier sister (160ish pounds) would be more comfortable in a 20" although she still can use this chair. We went to the show last week and the chair folded fine and unfolded without a hitch. The seat wasn't the most comfortable. I am going to buy a pad for it for whoever uses it in the future. Pushing the chair was easy and I was quickly able to use it myself although I never have been wheelchair bound. It rolls smoothly especially inside. The brakes work and kept the chair from moving. I don't think they would be strong enough to keep it from rolling down a steep hill or in a similar situation but they were fine for keeping the chair in place on a flat surface or small incline. During the middle of the show, one of the footrests flew to the side. It got wiggly and hard to manage. I think this is more about how my husband attached the footrest than the chair itself. He didn't have the tool - or any tool - to fix it so I had to deal with it. It would not have been problem even for someone completely wheelchair bound, just a small annoyance, When my husband pushed me uphill on cement to the parking garage, it jostled me around quite a lot and the wheels skipped a bit. Not much but he did notice as did I. The chair folded down with ease and fit fine in the back of the car. Since then, we have taken my sister to the lake using the chair. She has severe balance issues and numbness in her feet and legs. It was a godsend to have the chair. Again we did notice that, on gravely areas, the wheels tended to skip a bit. Otherwise, the only complaint was that the seat was a bit uncomfortable. That can be rectified. One thing about this chair that my sister mentioned was that the leg rests don't move up or down. They are fixed in the down position so a short person's feet may not reach or someone who wants or needs to elevate their legs, can't. I have sat in lots of wheelchairs in the hospital and rented one a while back when I had a back issue. This one doesn't feel like the hospital ones. They feel a lot sturdier but, at the same time, bulkier. This is good for maneuvering around and fitting into smaller spots. For at home use, I think this chair is fine. I am not sure that I would recommend it for someone who is wheelchair bound and needs to be in it all day and night. I think a better quality and slightly roomier one may be best. But for those who need a chair for an injury or issue and use it on as needed basis or inside where there is no tough turf, it is fine. It would have cost me $35 to rent a chair for the night. This chair was $95 to buy and have for good. There is no contest that buying was the best option. For the price point, I feel this chair is fine. It is well made and both my sister and I felt safe in it. I am going with 4 stars. It isn't made for tough or gravely turf and I definitely would not perch it on a steep hill and trust the brakes but, in general, it is a great value if you don't need the footrests to elevate. **** Pics are not attaching. I will try again in a few days.

Sturdy, inexpensive and easy to fold for the person pushing. Additionally, it's reasonably comfortable for the passenger. Foot rests work well and swivel out of the way and stay out of the way when needed. Brakes work without trouble. Paint finish is good. Wheels and tires have held up well during use over a 2 week vacation and several other trips/uses.

Been using this for a long time now, it's pretty easy to maneuver, it's light and folds up easily for transport, the size is pretty good it's comfortable size to sit in and a good size to transport when folded. We're able to easily fold this up and stick it in the trunk or backseat of a small sedan, and have also stuck it in the back of a kia soul with no issues at all. The braking is very good on it, no issues on the speed honestly I get around faster than my partner who's tall and has a fast walking pace😅 I live in an area with steep hills, and if I lock this chair I'm not going on a DIY rollercoaster ride. It's very versatile, helps me get around the house and it helps me get around town when I need it to. I'd also like to mention that it survived a car wreck almost 2 years ago and after all that I still use it to this day, so it's also pretty durable. I've put this chair through rain, snow, hot and humid weather, used it on wood, tile, carpet, no issues at all. It's well put together and needs hardly any maintenance. The fabric of the seat and backrest itself is very easy to spot clean also but I've not needed to do that much at all. If you need extra cushioning, it's very easy to stick one on it. I also decorated the wheels and have a cupholder attachment for it, so additional accessories are easily compatible. If you wanna put lights on the wheels just for the hell of it, get you some meant for bicycle wheels. The fabric of the backrest is easy to attach custom patches either by sewing or fabric specific adhesive, which is nice if you'd like to put your name on it or add some decorative stuff to it, just be mindful of where it folds if you do this. The arm rests lift up and down which helps a lot for transfer in and out of the chair, the foot rests lift up and down and are easy to take on and off as needed. The handlebars are comfortable to hold from what my partner has said, and the weight of someone leaning against the back of it won't tip you backwards. It's even light enough that if someone needed to maneuver you against a step or bump/crack in the pavement, they could do so with very little issue at all. Overall a great wheelchair and will get you where you need to be, and is compatible with any additions you'd like to add to it for comfort or to make it feel more personalized, and it's very durable and easy to use and will last you a long time.

This is really a great chair . It is very comfortable and turns on a dime . It is really helping me to stay off my legs. I have Charco Marie Tooth disease and it’s getting worse. I also have a scooter but it’s too big for my apartment. The wheelchair works a lot better

This thing is so great that I feel I bought the greatest chair in the world. The ease of maneuvering it, the look, the many features...This is simply a phenomenal wheelchair. It's extremely well-built and sturdy. It has some weight to it, but it's not crazy heavy. I absolutely love it.

Perfect.

Good

Lightweight and portable. Great product at a great price. Came assembled. Easy to manoeuvre.

Ha sido muy funcional, no es pesada y cabe perfecto en una cajuela mediana

I've used 3 different wheel chairs during my 6 month stay in hospital and a loaner after discharge for couple months. This wheel chair exceeds all expectations. I love the easy side guards that swing back easily with a gentle movement of release lever. The wheel tires are very hard and roll easily. I weigh 300 pounds and there is no flexing of wheel chair over uneven terrain. the only thing missing is a cup holder and cell phone holder but that was an easy fix. There is a very useful pocket on the back of seat for carrying small goodies. And the best thing of all. It was a very reasonable price. Far less than the disabled equipment stores want that start at $1200 and climb up from there. Also folds up very easily for putting into trunk or back seat of your automobile. it weighs about 40 pounds which is a little heavy but manageable. I love the color options and I picked blue . Has an upbeat look to it . it is very well designed ergonomically. I needed a little wider because the common 18 inch feels a little too tight so I ordered the 20 inch and it's perfect. Has enough room to slide a drink bottle beside your hip if needed. UPDATE: I've used this wheel chair for several months now. this is a great wheel chair. it has several features I really like , arm rests that can be moved up and away so easily, light weight, strong (I'm 335 pounds) so easy to fold up and stuff into the car trunk and transport. foot rest positioning is great and so easy to install and remove. There is only one down side which I resolved. ..The wheels were too close to side of chair so I got longer bolts and shimmed each side out one inch. I have big hands and I found they were getting pinched. I do not recommend to do this as it could jeopardize the safety features of this chair possibly. , but in my case it was a must do to make it useable for me. I see no issue for people with average size hands. Thank yo AMAZON for listing this chair on your site
