Days Compact Lightweight Foldable Wheelchair for Adults, Wide - Purple | 51 cm Seat, Folds Flat for Storage or Travel, Padded Seat, Footrests, Puncture-Proof Tyres & Secure Brakes for Wheel Chairs

Excellent build quality. Used to take mother too hospital appointments etc. Very easy to push and steer, with lever positions at the back for your feet, to help rise the front wheels over small bumps and cerbs etc. NOT suitable for very large people well over 100KG. I fit in it snugly at 103KG (wide shoulders) but much bigger than that and I would be having trouble. The feet supports clip on/off very easily and swing out of the way to get someone sitting in the chair more easily. It has thin padding on the seat, so a thin cushion may be needed for some, otherwise it is comfy enough for casual use of limited time, say about 1 hour or so. Everyone is different so try this out for yourself. The brakes work well and are easily adjusted, with no spanner needed to put the chair together on arrival. A spanner is provided with the instructions, but it is an universal one and you would be better off with a cheap set of real spanners I think. The chair also folds up easily for putting in a car boot, but take the foot supports off first, as it is very difficult to put it in the car with the supports fitted. The boot of a 2005 Ford Focus is big enough to take the chair easily (without front supports fitted) but an earlier version of this car may have problems closing the boot lid, as the early versions had a boot several inches shorter than the 2005 model. Overall this chair is of high build quality, with the red version being about £30 more than the blue or chrome version for some reason. It does look nice though if you like dark red. I highly recommend this chair for people who fit in it, and for keeping in a car and using INSTEAD of those horrible hospital chairs, which go where THEY want to go, not where YOU want to go. You also don't need to hunt for a chair on arrival anywhere, if you carry your own in the car.

Completely new to wheelchairs but delighted with this one for the price and quality. Arrived in a sturdy box, all I had to do was clip on the footrests and it was good to go. Very comfortable (I happily used it as an extra chair in my mum’s care home room) and very manoeuvrable. Fits into a VW Polo boot and it’s quite easy to lift in / out as not too heavy. Delighted with this for the price and lovely to have a choice of colour too. No one actually ‘wants’ a wheelchair but this one doesn’t make it feel so bad!

Easy to build out of the box. Agree with a couple of comments about how it would be good to be able to lock the footrests in place cos otherwise they can easily fall out when you take it in and out of your boot. But that's not a deal breaer and might be a selling point to someone who wants a quick disassembly for transport. It took me a long time to choose this wheelchair and I nearly paid more because the reviews were so damning but Im really glad I didnt as this is absolutely fine for the short hops I do with dad to doctor's, hospital, etc. One other minor criticism is the brakes take a little bit of force to push down into lock mode. No problem for me but if you were frail or had arthritis maybe a problem. A word of warning too: the footplates on mine came pre-adjusted for someone with very short legs. So unless your wheelchair passenger happens to have very short legs, I'd urge you to use the spanners that come with this to extend the length of the footplate arms. Otherwise you might end up having to force your passengers kegs up into a very uncomfortable position. Not super duper light but lighter than our last one. Obviously lighter still if you remove the footplates. My dad's on the fat/large bottomed size(size 46 waist trousers and this is fine for him to sit in. Like all these type wheelchairs, the plastic front wheels dont offer much by way of cushioning blows from hard bumps but that seems to be par for the course unless you pay a load of money or get one with the big wheels. Other than that seems pretty good build quality, and easy to unfold/fold with nice levers. Just remember to take those footplates off first or you'll get a big clang when you lift it into your boot as they come falling off. Fits easily into the boot of my Volkswagen Bora 2003 saloon. with a bit of room left for shopping to the side or on top. Complemented it with a square memory foam cushion to give him a more comfortable ride. Overall though I'm very happy with this for the money. Would buy again.

Excellent. Value for money. Light to pick up. Easily managed and great breaks

This chair is brilliant - absolutely worth the money. FOLDING / SETTING UP - Incredibly easy to set up and fold away for transport, it literally involves clicking two little levers to fold the back down, then pushing the sides together - takes 10 seconds. To set up, push the sides apart and push the handles forward till they click - also takes ten seconds. I always thought wheelchairs were difficult to set up - not this one ! SIZE AND WEIGHT - I bought the standard size - perfect for my mother, but would be too small for a large or heavy person (NB there is a larger size). Very sturdy frame. The seat and backrest are fabric (not rigid) but nice and strong, and my mother said the fabric seat was more comfortable than a rigid seat. I am a middle aged woman and I can lift this into the boot of my car without difficulty, but an elderly person might find it too heavy. FOOT RESTS - can be swung completely out of the way to make it easy to get in and out. Can also be removed very easily for transport (just click the little lever) BRAKES - cable brake like a bicycle brake so you can control the chair on slopes. You can also apply brakes in parking mode, if you want to let go of the chair - push the brake levers down firmly (NB they are very stiff to start with, first time I thought I was going to snap the levers but they soon loosened up). The brakes are pretty good - I tested them by parking the chair on a steep slope then getting in and out DELIVERY - the chair was delivered next day, despite being on standard 7 day delivery. I also contacted the seller to ask a question and they were very helpful I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants an easy to transport chair. Five stars

The chair is well‑built and surprisingly light, making it easy to transport in and out of a car. The padded seat offers good comfort and the footrests adjust smoothly. It pushes well and feels stable, even on uneven paths. A solid choice for anyone needing a dependable attendant‑propelled wheelchair for regular outings.

Excellent product. Light easy to steer and manoeuvre. Good brakes. Very well designed. I think it’s ideal for short term disability. Folds easy for transport. We bought the standard size, which accommodates a size 10/12 woman. The small would be for children I think. The large might cope with some of our larger woman, but I don’t think these wheelchairs could cope with the typical Merry Hill fatty! I would definitely recommend. It’s excellent value.

bought for my mother who has just gone into a care home. this came next day. so easy to assemble - only the foot plates need clipping on. otherwise it is truly good to go. she is a larger lady and this is comfortable. easy for push (carer) and folds down easily into car. really impressed and the colour range was appreciated to differentiate between banks of wheelchairs.

Good price light and compact chair and contrary to other review does have brake lock on feature- just push brake handles downwards.
