Compared to a regular wheelchair with the big tires, this one is a lot easier to get in and out of your car as well as cruising through small areas a regular one has trouble with. A regular wheelchair is easier to push because of the big wheels, but this chair is still fairly easy to push. Uphill and all-terrain driving requires some muscle power that may limit some weaker “pushers” but overall its not too bad. I definitely appreciate the breaking mechanism on this little chair too — downhill is not as scary and speed can be maintained. Also, this chair can pop wheelies over doorstops, gaps and curbs a bit easier than some of the bigger chairs, and the little foot pegs on the back help with that. I would have liked the pocket to be wider on the back, since the size really limits what you can stuff in there. Don’t plan on packing a sandwich or a piece of fruit, more like some crackers and a fruit roll-up or other small items. However, the price is great, since it’s a lot cheaper than renting a wheelchair for only 2 months. Too bad they didn’t come out with a chair with a 14″ tire, since that might help with some of the pushing effort you exert with chairs with smaller tires. Overall, I think we made a good choice with this chair.

This is a beautiful, lighweight wheelchair. It stated good for weight of up to 300 pounds. My husband is about 270 and it was a little tight. This is a great chair but did not work for us because my husband’s leg needed to be extended and the footrests did not extend. THis is not a negative for the chair, but just did not work for us. It arrived SUPERFAST. I would recommend it for anyone who was a little less than 250 pounds and did not need to elevate their leg.

This was a purchase for my Mom who came to town for a visit. She cannot walk distances. This wheelchair is red and it is very attractive. Transport means just that, someone else does the pushing – there are no big back wheels that allow the rider to push themselves – also why it’s more compact and cute. Very sytlish. We were able to do so much more with my Mom that we would not have been able to do otherwise – Braves game, the Aquarium, CNN studio tour (btw, does not allow strollers), Centennial Park – watching the kids play in the water rings, World of Coke… It’s great for airport use too – just gatecheck it. It is so lightweight & compact – can probably fit in any trunk. If it were not so cute, I don’t think my Mom would have allowed us to use it.
