Drive Medical Lightweight Expedition Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes

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

I needed a new transport chair for my mom and I needed a lightweight one for me. This chair is very easy to manage getting it into and out of the car. It’s much lighter than her previous chair and folds up easily. We love that it rolls so smoothly and easily and mom says it’s very comfortable. I did add a nice thick cushion for her which she loves. The handbrakes were very stiff at first but have gotten better over a couple of weeks. In fact, the first chair I got I had to return. The brakes wouldn’t move at all. Amazon sent me a replacement before I had even returned it! Wow! Another great thing is it comes fully assembled. I’m very happy with this purchase.

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.

Great for use to transport my Mom to Medical appointments. I highly recommend it. This chair is sturdy, easy to manuver with Mom in it, and is worth a few dollars more than cheaper chairs. I bought this to replace a transport chair I bought earlier this year (in January). I didn't do a lot of research at the time since I needed the chair ASAP. Features to consider if you are looking for a transport chair: - Rear wheels - this one has 12 inch wheels vs the 8 in wheels on the other one making it easier to maneuver than the other one. The smaller wheels on the other one would also get caught in the cracks (between bricks) at the doctor's office. No problem with this one getting caught and me worrying about dumping Mom from the chair as I fight to get it loose. - Locking brakes - this one has locking hand brakes instead of having to push a lever on the wheels to lock the wheels. - Easy to fold and put in car trunk. (The first one was as well.) - Light weight and easy for me to handle. This one is about 19 lbs vs 15 on the first chair. The extra 4 lbs is not significant. If I had done more research, I would have bought this one to start with - as of the date of posting this review, both this chair and the one I bought originally are the same price. Not sure what the price of this one was when I bought the other one in January but it's a no brainer at the same price. Even if it were an extra $40-50 or more, this one is well worth the extra cost.

Sturdy transfer chair and well made. Easy to put together and fairly light weight.
