Lightweight Expedition Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes, Red

This wheelchair is FANTASTIC! It's not a WC for an individual to use on their own but so great for a care giver to use for their patient. It's lightweight (easy on the back) making it easy to fold up and put in the trunk. Footrests are easily attached and detached (lock in place). The toe 'ledge' at he back allows gentle tipping of the chair to easily get over bumps. The safety belts make my friend feel more secure. Hand brakes work extremely well. Does not budge when in locked position. That has no storage bag/compartment is the only thing I'd change about it. From a different company I ordered an attachable bag for the back of the chair for storage. PERFECT transport Wheelchair!

This wheelchair is great quality, easy to use, lightweight, comfortable (although I highly recommend a gel seat pad) it folds pretty small so it stores easy. This has reopened my adventure/travel side. I'm able to do all the things that I used to do before illness/body issues took that away. This lightweight wheelchair reopened those opportunities for me. If only it came in pink..

I bought this chair for my dad, he is with Alzheimer and has loose a lot of mobility and it has made such a difference. It’s lightweight, easy to fold, and very comfortable for him to sit in. We use it both at home and when we’re out, now we can take a walk while he enjoy it, we can go out and eat with him, and it’s been sturdy and reliable. It gives him more independence, and it’s easy for us to transport. It came pre assembled and took less than 5 min to have the chair ready to use. We are very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable, portable chair.

Lightweight and small, easy to take along. Don’t know if a “larger” sized person would fit comfortably. Fold up fast with easy on and off foot rests. Enables my husband with dementia to go out for small trips and the drs office without worrying about falls.

Bought this to use when taking my 93 year old mother on errands, including doctor visits. It is so much easier to put in my car than her walker, and is very light weight. I love it and so does she! This folds and stores easily. My mom loves the red and black (it matches her walker). It's kind of racy looking. The price cannot be beat. Remove the footrests (super easy) before folding it to place in car or store in a closet. When out and about, I keep the footrests in the same box in which they came, and put them on after my mom is in the chair. Be aware that there are only hand brakes that do not lock into place, and no brakes that lock on the wheels. You have to squeeze the hand brakes on the handle, which, again, is very easy, in order to keep the chair stabilized when someone is getting into and out of the chair.

This chair is very lightweight. The VA gave my husband a chair which i could barely push, let alone lift so it did us no good. The color is vibrant, it maneuvers extremely easily AND at 18lb, I can lift it myself. The only assembly was attaching the foot rests which are click in and go on very quickly. Brakes work well. Very compact and the height is perfect for him to be seated and for me to push. Excellent value for cost and very quick shipping. The foot tests do adjust to side to ease with getting in and out. The only thing missing is a way to carry an oxygen tank, but he has an inogen so we'll figure that out!

Great size! Nice quality! Easy to assemble! Folds nicely. Seems comfortable enough for point to point transport. I was genuinely surprised at how well this seems made. Pretty light but sturdy. Aluminum seems key to this. I got it for my in-laws who are in their mid 80s and even they approve of it!

Perfect for our 98 year old Mom. When we go shopping it takes the stress off of her and she now enjoys shopping with us. No more worrying that she is slowing us down. This chair is a great weight, easy to get in and out of the car, turning radius is great, we take it everywhere...color is great. Great purchase. People ask us about it when we are out with our Mom.

Muy funcional para mis papás. La silla es muy ligera, la diferencia con una normal es bastante, tiene frenos y un par de agarraderas para cargar con las manos. También trae una correa larga para colgar al hombro. Si hace una diferencia

Excellent chair. Light weight. Easy to use and fold up.

Lightweight, foldable and sturdy. What more could you ask for in a transport chair? Purchased for my elderly mom who found it comfortable. Price was very competitive.

Chair folds easily and is lightweight. Very easy to manoever. The foot rests are removable and do have to be removed to transport the chair or they fall off when loading. The seat would not be very comfortable as is just canvas so use it with a gel seat cushion.

BLUF: Stick to very smooth surfaces and short distances - this is not a tough-built chair. I purchased this chair for my wife who had broken an ankle. We planned on using the chair for holiday travel to Oslo this December, as she could not walk in her cast. The first time we drove through the city was the day after Christmas. We had traveled just a few hundred feet down a sidewalk when the left front caster disintegrated. The weight load on the chair was nowhere near the listed 300# maximum. It being Oslo (socialist medicine - everyone who needs a wheelchair gets one) and Christmas week, there was no place to rent a replacement. The airline wouldn't ship a broken chair free and the additional luggage fee was $100, so the chair stayed in Norway. While I would normally request a replacement, I had nothing to return. Just got off the phone with Amazon - they agreed to refund the cost of purchase. For the manufacturer, only beefier/stronger caster material would help. As designed, the casters are the weakest part of the chair. While this wheelchair is listed as an "Expedition" model, it would be best suited to flat, level ground and short distances. The brake is operator-initiated and cannot be locked; do not leave occupants unassisted -- I was OK with this. Folded as advertised; held it closed with a strap I provided. The foot supports are not designed to fold and still remain attached to the chair; they are quite light, quickly and easily removable, and went in a carry-on for the flight. Very light weight chair, easy to maneuver on smooth surfaces.
