Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)As a Friday Sale offering, with free super saver shipping, this is a five star value.
Also known as a "companion chair", this lightweight rolling chair is especially invaluable for a caregiver who takes a family member to medical-related appointments. It isn't meant for everyday use around the house, or for day-long sitting, but rather for limited transport from a vehicle to a medical appointment, PT, or the hairdresser/barber shop, etc.
The comfort level is reasonable and the convenience level is unmatched. (A gel seat cushion might help, and can be purchased separately.) No transport chair will substitute for a wheelchair; someone else needs to push this chair.
IMPORTANT:
1. The weight limit for this item is 300 lbs. Don't order it unless you have verified that the person for whom it is intended weighs in at no more than that.
2. Even a person weighing 200 pounds will be tricky to transport, if you must go up ramps, so give some thought to your own physical limits. If you are up in years or have heart problems or a chronic condition yourself, you may need additional help.
3. You need to be able to fold and lift twenty awkward pounds in and out of a vehicle.
4. The back handles do fold, but that maneuver can be tricky. Unless you are mechanically inclined, ask someone for help in the minimal assembly, and then practice folding it until it feels easy to do!
5. Make sure your vehicle has adequate room in the trunk to transport this.
6. If not, or unless you have a station wagon or SUV, you may need to place this (folded) upright in the back seat foot area, right behind the front seatbacks. That means you may have little or no room for additional passengers.
