Drive Medical EXP19LTRD Lightweight Expedition Folding Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes, Red

Chair folds easily and is lightweight. Very easy to manoever. The foot rests are removable and do have to be removed to transport the chair or they fall off when loading. The seat would not be very comfortable as is just canvas so use it with a gel seat cushion.

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

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.

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.

My mother in law is 89 and has mobility difficulties. She can walk, but needs a cane and not for long distances. My husband gifted her and our kids a week in Paris. We were able to take the foldable wheel chair on the plane as a carry on. Everyone on Air France was wonderfully accommodating. It folds easily and is very light. You have to remove the foot rests. So bring a small drawstring bag and store it in the overhead. It’s very easy to take off and on. The larger back rear wheels rolled easily over the cobblestone streets and narrow sidewalks of Paris. Its small size fits on the tiny elevators and crowded bistros. We did not attempt the metro. We used Uber XL or a van. I would highly recommend this chair for travel if you are with a mobility compromised person.
