Medline Lightweight Foldable Transport Wheelchair with Handbrakes and 12-Inch Wheels, Blue Frame, Black Upholstery

When it comes to being a Care Giver, anything that will make my life easier in regards to providing the proper care for my mom is certainly welcomed! With that said, this is my unpaid experience with this awesome little chair! I purchased it in 2018 and after 7 years of continual use... it is still fabulous! This chair has had its fair share of trips to and from various Doctor's offices, Stores, Shopping Outings, Restaurants, etc. From day one I have been very pleased with this chair's build quality, functionality and its light weight. My mom is 88 years old and she weighs about 169 pounds. I have had no problems getting her in and out of this chair, even with her Dementia. I can't say enough about how convenient it is for me in regards to this chair being able to fold up in seconds and easily be put in the back of my SUV. This chair still functions as new and I have never had any issues whatsoever with it! I highly recommend this chair to anyone who is looking for an affordable chair that has stood the test of time and to me worth every penny that I paid for it! Some I see have said it feels cheap... I have never thought that about this chair in any way... it just feels light and to me that is great!!!!!. I hope this true testimony and truthful review will help someone in their purchasing decision.. Have A Blessed Day!

I had bought one of these chairs at a rummage sale a few years ago. My 96- and 94-year-old parents were living with me and I could see the writing on the wall concerning their mobility though neither of them wanted the chair for their self. For $25. I had nothing to lose if neither never used it. That chair was the best investment that I have ever made and it added quality to their lives. Fortunately, they didn't need it at the same time. We found ourselves saying it was the best $25. that we ever spent. Because of that chair when my uncle woke up one day not being able to walk and could only crawl we bought the Medline Lightweight Foldable Transport Wheelchair and had it sent to him. His wife had borrowed a heavy loaner wheelchair so she could take my uncle to his many doctor appointments. Loading that heavy wheelchair in and out of her car was killing her back. She cried of joy when she received the transport chair. It made their life so much better. My sister, severely hurt her knee. She and her family had plans and reservations to visit Washington D.C. with her on crutches. I had this transport chair sent to her house in S.C. in time for their trip. She wouldn't have made it 1/2 day on her crutches. The transport chair saved their vacation. It was easy to put in their trunk, then to take it on the train and then touring D.C. My brother-in-law said one day he pushed her around for 11 miles in the chair. I can't say enough about that transport chair. It's comfort, stability, its light weight, its just a life saver for the one who is pushing it and adds quality to the users life.

I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and will be starting my chemotherapy soon. I started thinking about the fatigue and weakness I'm likely to experience as I go through this process. I know I'm going to be spending a lot more time at home, but I'm not willing to stop living my life either. So we thought maybe a wheelchair will help. So I got on Amazon and started looking. I noticed most wheelchairs are rather large even when collapsed. That wouldn't be an issue if our vehicle was big, but we drive a Kia Sportage. So I started looking for a compact wheelchair and found these transport chairs, game changer. We decided on this one. The reviews were decent, and because of the features. It's light weight, it has the large rear wheels, which are super important, and the hand breaks, if your transporting someone down a ramp your going to want them. Our order arrived the next day and was well packaged. It was super easy assemble. It only takes one person. I'm 5'6" and weigh 198. A lot of the chairs I looked at have a weight limit of 220. While I hope I don't gain weight, I know sometimes steroids are used and they can cause weight gain, so the fact that this one has a max weight limit of 300 made me feel better. I could see that if a person was must larger than myself they might want one designed for larger sizes. I fit well in this one with enough room let over that I'm comfortable with it. For our purposes of taking me to appointments and shopping when I need it, it will work perfectly. It feels plenty sturdy and our test drives have gone very well. The only thing we are going to add is the storage bag that hangs in the back, also for sale on Amazon for $20. If you are looking for a transport chair instead of a larger wheelchair and the person will be sitting in it for hours on end you might want to add a seat cushion. For our purposes it is more than comfortable.

The product is actually amazing in terms of quality. Very light weight and sturdy as well. I am returning just because it was incompatible because my father is a bit overweight and mom was not able to handle the wheelchair at steep places. Otherwise it is overall a 5 star.

Esta transportadora es muy práctica, ligera, angosta, y efectiva. Tiene muy buena calidad y además es bonita. Perfecta para casas con puertas tamaño estándar.

Ligera, practica, ergonomica, llevamos a mi abuelita de paseo con ella y super, las llantas resistentes, vivo en una zona de puro bache, fue genial y fue comoda sobre todo para mi abuela

I bought this for my mother based on the features of a similar wheelchair that we had borrowed and that I liked. But this one was a little better. We've used it for 3 months, now, whenever she has to go out. It's light enough to be easy to put into a car's trunk with one hand. The footrests are detachable, and if the trunk is a bit too small, the handles fold down. And that design is nicely done because there's a bit of a bend in the handles so that they wrap around the frame. Other transport wheelchairs have the handle straight with the frame and they end up having to be angled away so those chairs don't lay flat. This one does lay flat with the handles folded, and that also makes the chair significantly smaller. The brakes can be locked (a common feature). The footrests can be flipped up or swung all the way out of the way, to clear a path to a chair (or car seat)(a common feature, I think). There are pushbars near the rear wheels to help tilt up the chair to get over small bumps. It folds and unfolds very easily. This isn't a super sturdy chair for negotiating rough terrain but it does reliably get my mother to her doctors and the table at the restaurant with little fuss, which is all I ask of it. It was definitely a worthwhile purchase.

Es fácil de guardar. Es fácil de usar. Buena cualidad. Tiene un pedal que facilita subir la silla en banquetas. Los pedestales para los pues se quitan y ponen fácilmente. Ligera pero fuerte
