VOCIC Wheelchair Walker Combination, 2-in-1 Rollator for Seniors with Seat, Walker Transport Chair Combo with Padded Seat, Bag, Backrest and Footrest, Black

Overall very happy with it but it is a little difficult to steer when pushing it with someone sitting in it.

I just received my new Z51 Shift model rollator/transport chair today and I'm giving my initial impressions. It's a well-thought-out design for a very useful dual-purpose chair. I researched every similar style dual purpose chair I could find online and this seems to have more great features and sturdier construction than any other I found for the price - the trade off is it's a bit heavy. I especially like the much sturdier wider, treaded wheels. I can see why most of the reviews are so positive. I made mental notes from a helpful reviewer who said it's easier to make tight turns if the 'pusher' taps one brake: right brake to turn right, left brake to turn left. And I can see why it's important to keep the swivel wheels turned forward over uneven surfaces, otherwise you could put undo sideways pressure on the wheel yoke and risk it breaking, as some have done. I guess we can't expect it to steer or push like a grocery cart, with our loved one in it. The weight is more vertical than a cart. And, with those 8" rear wheels, we also can't expect it to handle like a standard wheelchair either. But most folks will have no trouble at all. I did have one frustrating problem putting it together though. At least at first look, the 2 larger swiveling wheels appear to be interchangeable for either side but they are not. Their plastic fittings into the chair legs have a brass insert on only one side, which I found out must be facing the chair's inward side so the knob can screw all the way in from the outside. There's nothing in the instructions for this, which made for very frustrating trial and error. Regarding assembly: As others have mentioned, it would be VERY helpful if they would label the various wheels and handles with stickers, with corresponding stickers on the matching sides of their mated parts: A to A, B to B and so on. But then, you only have to assemble it once, and you're done. One drawback so far: Be aware that the "cushioned" seat is very hard. So for now, I'm using a cushion on top. The hooking of the foot rests onto the sides is fussy and a hinge arrangement would be nice instead. But some folks might want to use it as a rollator without the footrests with their added weight. All that said, I look forward to a bit more freedom to get around and get out more easily with the help of this wonderful chair and my 'pushy' friends. Update 2-1-25: BE AWARE. Took the chair for a 3-hour outing and found some challenges. Yes, as other reviewers have mentioned, it is difficult to push a seated person over even small transitions like from cement onto asphalt. Even more difficult if there's even a tiny bit of an incline involved. Also, I'm 5'2" with narrow shoulders and the handles made for a very tight fit and zero wiggle room. Wish the seat back was a bit higher for better support and chair balance.

This is sturdy for sure. Easy assembly as well but OMG the seat is HARD. I’m going to have to get a memory foam cushion. I have EDS, Arthritis in my spine and fibromyalgia and this seat is torture. Everything else is great.

This trans port chair is quite comfortable and sturdy. I bought this for my 94 yr old husband, so I could take him to church on Sunday. As a walker it is very good. I only have a problem with the way the have it fold up to give me something to help lift it up to put into the car. At church there are always people around to help me. BUT I would like to be able to use it in other places!!

I was HIGHLY skeptical of this lightweight little thing when it showed up. I am 4'11 and about 120lbs, and newly disabled. We booked a vacation months ago and couldn't get our money back, which is where this thing comes in. We have taken this "wheelchair" everywhere and it held up better than we expected. We took it on 4 plane rides, over desert terrain, rocks, dirt, grass, uneven brickwork...everywhere. I will admit the rocks or gravel was the most difficult to navigate. Any large bumps or divots I did get up for, but otherwise it did well. The front wheels move but the back ones do not, and this does make it hard to turn in some instances but it is not often. It folds up nicely and the foot rests do come off. The tires are also thick and wide, which was the main reason I got this chair. Most of the normal wheelchairs had such thin wheels, or they were super expensive. I did have to do some improvements to make this more comfortable but it was not horrible. If you are going to be using this for more than 2-3 hours I highly recommend you get a back rest and seat cushion set. The seat for this is rock hard and extremely uncomfortable. I also had to put foam pads on the foot rests to cut down on the jostling of my foot (and because I was to short to reach). I do have nerve damage in my foot so any movement did bother it, hence the foam pads. I think a normal person would be fine without this modification. I also had crutches that we shortened the whole way and slid them over each of the handlebars, then bungee corded to keep secure. It ended up being a great purchase and absolutely saved our trip.

Only complaint is that it isn’t very compact. But it’s sturdy and easy to use.
