Drive Medical Deluxe Lightweight Aluminum Transport Wheelchair, Black, 17"

This wheelchair was purchased for a family member with limited mobility who can get around with a walker but not long distances. It was fairly easy to put together once removing plastic ties that protect the product during shipping. It is also easy to fold up. At 19 lbs, it is lightweight for a sturdy wheelchair. Keep in mind that this chair is not for the patient to wheel him or herself, but to allow for transport by a caregiver. It has not yet been used outside of assembly but believe it will be useful for outside ventures in the future. It comes with locking brakes and a seatbelt, as well as leg/foot support. It can fit through narrow doorways as well, which is a plus. I was impressed by the value for the money.

Excellent chair, lightweight, easy to put in and out of a car, either truck of back seat. Comfortable to sit on and rolls well

This is a great transport chair for our petite DIL. We use it for travel so the fact that it is lightweight yet collapsible helps us to manage in the chaos. She prefers to skip the leg rests altogether which lightens it even further. These chairs don’t last forever but for the price you can get a few years out of them. I got the last one from Amazon Warehouse for a great discount. The item was fine even though the box was beat up.

My elderly mom is slight built and fits into the wheel chair but I am contemplating whether to return it as I feel it won't accommodate her when wearing a winter jacket. Very narrow - convenient that it takes up little space, but she seems too squished into it.

What a great purchase. I have a bathroom door that is exactly 24" wide and the narrow portion of the door frame is 23.5". There is plenty of room to spare on either side. We took the door off but the chair would fit without doing that. Very easy to roll on hardwood, tile and carpet. Has good locks on the rear wheels that can be engaged and disengaged with the foot so you don't have to bend over. The front wheels don't lock which makes it easy to move out the way since they still roll when the back wheels are locked. The widest portion of the chair is 18.50". From rear wheel bolt head to rear wheel bolt head.Suggestion to the designer is add another rail underneath the padded cushion arm rest. My 85 year old mother does not have the strength to lift herself due to the arm rest being so high. See the photo. Where the yard stick is it would be nice to have another rail to shorten the length of lift that she has. I need to get a 4" cushion and that will solve my problem. The arms fold down making it easy to store. I would not use this chair down a set of stairs like I use the wheelchair to roll her down two steps I have at home. Ramp to be built soon. What an awesome purchase.

The width of the chair is perfect to get comfortably through our small bathroom door! The chair is very smooth and easily navigated so I can be pushed to various parts our house. Well built, light weight, also folds up and stores easily.. A+

Great!!! So lightweight!

I bought this item as "unboxed" merchandise. It was said to be in "very good" condition and it was... with one huge exception. Both armrests were smashed by some very heavy force. They were bent down in the middle at about a 30 degree angle The metal border that frames the padding was also bent outward as a result of whatever dropped on the armrests....maybe a set of barbells? Other than that, how would you review the play Mrs. Lincoln? Actually, it looked like it might have been a decent wheelchair for a person with fairly narrow hips. It's what I was looking for, if only it wasn't severely damaged.
