## Description

Drive Medical Lightweight Expedition Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes : desertcart.co.uk: Health & Personal Care

Review: 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
Review: 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. desertcart 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.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What shade of blue is the blue model? Navy, light, dark, bright?**
A: Ours is Navy blue, quite dark.  We have also added a wheelchair cushion makes it more comfy.

**Q: en que material esta**
A: Alunio. El tamańo ideal para transportarlo en carro (auto-coche). Muy practico.

**Q: How wide is the whole chair.  The available space for my mother to move dad into the bathroom is just 21 inches so I need to know if this will fit.**
A: it's close as it's 20-1/2" outside armrest to outside arm rest. If you have possibly a 2nd bathroom you could take the door off as I did for clearance. That gives you roughly another 1-3/8". I bought a shower rod, rings and used a cheap shower curtain to act as a replacement door. My bathroom was laid out so that was possible and with a towel bar close I just used a bungee cord to hold the curtain back. I also bought a 60" door jam protector, cut them in half so I had 2 30" pairs and used 1 pair to protect the jams. I have used them for a year and still have the 2nd set to use if the get damaged bad. Hope some of this has given you some Ideas.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the chair when it is fully folded?**
A: 29" H   7"W  24"L
As I've said in previous posts, this is an awesome chair.  I've had mine a few months now.  My wife has no problem lifting it (even with one hand) and putting it in the car.
A LOT lighter than a full size wheelchair. Great buy!!

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.
