Si me gustó y la usaré para mí suegra

This is a good quality product and am very pleased with my purchase. It was pretty easy to put together, is comfortable as is (but I did get a soft gel cushion for my mom for longer rides) and maneuvers well. It also fold down and fits into the back of my Rogue well. The pushing handles fold down which makes it more compact. It feels a little heavier than the 33 lbs listed but I still found it manageable to lift.

This is a strong chair yet only weighs 23 lbs which makes it easy for a 4'9" woman to load into a car and to push a larger person. It is easy to collapse and open. My husband finds it offers a comfortable ride. I would buy this again if another family member needed one. It was easy to assemble, use and very sturdy.

I bought this wheelchair for the fabric, foldability and weight. Our son fell out of the wheelchair twice because the fabric is very slippery. However, that led us to use the buckle all the time. Then, we didn't have any problems. The wheelchair folds up well and easily. The fabric will definitely hold up over time. You just need to be sure use the buckle, otherwise, you may have the same problems that we experienced.

For non-ambulatory family members who lack the upper-body or hand strength to self-propel a standard wheelchair, a transport chair - also known as a rollator – is an excellent substitute. Due to their large wheel base, wheelchairs are bulky, space-hogging contraptions that make maneuvering in close confines – such as small apartments with even smaller bathrooms - extremely difficult. Both the user and their caregiver(s) will find this a smooth, comfortable chair to operate. A transport chair is a sleeker, more agile device that easily navigates tight quarters while the 12” wheels provide smooth support in larger environments. Unlike a wheelchair, transport chairs aren’t designed for everyday, all-purpose use. We started our mom in Medline’s Lightweight model. One year later, the wheel treads were worn and the seat had sagged to an uncomfortable level. Still, that little chair really held its own against daily use. We are happy with this newest model which has many improved features. First, the seat is larger than our older model by 3 inches with a more supportive bracing keeping the area tight and flat. You’ll need a cushion to make a comfortable seat. Second, the cutaway armrests allow the chair to pushed in closer to tables. Third, the push handles are angled giving the caregiver more pushing power and traction (see pic 1). Fourth, the foot rest bar snaps into a fastener which keeps the foot plate from swinging free during transfers or folding (see pic 2). Fifth, the teal is a welcome color change. Sixth, and most importantly, thanks to the reinforced seat, my mom sits higher and more posturally correct in her chair We covered the hard plastic armrests with softer pads (see pic 3). Overall, this is an outstanding product from a leader in the assistive device field.
