MobiQuip 8kg Travel Wheelchair, Ultra Lightweight, Compact, Folding Wheel Chair, Attendant-Propelled, Light Aluminium Frame, Portable Transit Mobility Wheelchair with Carry Bag

We bought the wheelchair specifically for travelling. My wife is severely disabled and needs a wheelchair to get about. To be able to take a holiday we need a wheelchair which is light, compact and can be folded so that it can go in a car's boot or be taken on an aircraft. Our first impressions are that the MobiQuip meets these criteria. It is very light and when folded and placed in the supplied carrying bag, very compact. My wife found it very comfortable. We would not use it on a daily basis to get around town, but we have a more robust chair for that. We plan to go on a cruise next year, and think that the wheelchair will be ideal to take with us, to help get round the ship and go on shore excursions, although we may see if we can borrow one of the ship's sturdier chairs to go ashore. All in all, we are impressed.

Bought this for my elderly mum, it’s very lightweight and easy to pack etc. But the wheels are a bit too hard and small to tackle even small kerbs edges and the frame is not strong enough to tilt the chair in the back wheel with an adult sat on it (you do need to cross streets where it’s as flat as possible basically). It took my mum a while to work out the parking brakes but it works well. The person sitting on it has no access to the brakes though, it’s the helper sole responsibility to manage the brakes so can be tricky for sloping streets or hilly neighbourhood. But overall it’s very convenient and super light.

Very useful and sturdy, lightweight too (8kg). We have travelled all over the country, to the lake district and even taken it to Turkey. Almost 2yrs now and only a few problems. Just a little problem with the screws on the foot rest.

Broke and no replacement sent despite many requests

wheelchair bought this for my 8 year old with autism can walk but refuses to so this will keep him safe as he can tend to run off or refuse to walk first impressions are great easy to, fold away and put back up. I can fit through my door frame and is very light and easy to move around on a flat surface. Feels very sturdy and strong for a small end lightweight wheelchair as I didn't want a bulky heavy chair will update and let people know how I get on with it as I haven't used it just yet myself and it seems very sturdy I've sat in it and I'm about 14 stone have to see how it is when I go out and about getting up and down steps and stuff
