Cruiser III Lightweight Wheelchair with Mag Wheels, 20 Inch

My wife has lung cancer and COPD. She can walk but requires oxygen and walking anywhere makes her completely winded. This wheelchair is fantastic. We have had it for a couple of months now and for the frequent doctor's appointments it has made both of our lives so much better. It is light and easy to wheel her around yet is made very well. I have a small SUV and it collapses easily and fits into the back with no problem at all. It is not too heavy to lift in either. My wife is only 5'4" and weighs about 120 lbs. but the 16" wide chair is perfectly comfortable for her and it fits through doorways without any problem at all. In fact, I sat in it and it is very comfortable for me (and I am 6' tall and weigh about 225 lbs.)It maneuvers well when there is not a lot of room and when I take her out, she has to have oxygen so I have to coordinate her and the carriage for the oxygen. This wheelchair allows me to coordinate both with no problem. It came basically assembled and is very easy to open and fold down for putting in the car. The feet rests are easily detachable and adjust very easily.The best thing was the price. I wasn't sure that for this reasonable price, it would be made that well or stand up to extended usage but so far it is perfect. I could have spent a lot more on another wheelchair with a few more fancy features, but for something that really works well and is reasonably priced, I am extremely happy with our purchase and how well it works for us.

Great chair! Got the 20in version with flip up arms and removable swing away pedals. Makes using slide board for transfers a lot easier. Is a bit heavy, but manageable to put in the trunk relatively easily for a couch potato woman, like me. Definitely want to add a cushion. Nice adjustability features and good price for plus size user. Its a touch snug through some of our doorways and won't go through one at all. Be sure to measure before you buy and account for a little more front- to back length of turning radius with the pedals on. Works well for my 5'9", 275lb partner. The extendable seat depth is a nice feature. Full arm rests are pretty sturdy though one's cushion is a little wobbly after 2mo of using to stand. Nothing a screwdriver won't fix though. Good value, great features.

When I left rehab with my two broken ankles, they gave me a wheelchair like this, a rental covered by insurance. But the carpet in my home made moving almost impossible and to get an electric wheelchair, I had to give up the rental. This is the same chair I was renting. Exactly, except with some very subtle nicer touches. I can lift this chair or take the legs off. The seat is wide enough for today's American behind and it's a comfortable sit. You might prefer a nice pad for it but it's okay the way it is. Every time I have to life it to exit the two stair steps of my house, I am so grateful for it. Well built. It will last you as long as you need wheels. I thought one of these would probably cost $500 bucks or so but at $169, why would you pay to rent unless you only expected to need a wheelchair 2-3 weeks tops. Great deal.

My husband was recently diagnosed with a severe medical condition that leaves him unable to do much physically. While he can still walk, he cannot walk more than about six feet at a time, so we needed a way to get him in and out of doctor's visits, stores, etc. We are hopeful we don't need a wheelchair long term, so I didn't want to spend a lot of money on anything at this point. This wheelchair fits the bill perfectly.It's not as lightweight as I had hoped, but it's manageable. I can lift it into the back of our Tahoe unassisted, although weighing a few pounds less would make it much easier. I don't know how well this would fit in the cargo area of a smaller SUV. It takes up pretty much all the cargo space back there with the third row folded down, which is not a big issue for us, but just something to be aware of if your vehicle is smaller.My husband is 6'5" and the foot rests adjusted low enough for him, and the seat back is high enough that it's not uncomfortable for him to lean back on. It's comfortably wide enough for him as well, but I'm really glad I went with the 20" span or I think he would've been a bit cramped and he's not overweight or excessively large (besides height!). I did take the seat bottom apart and adjust the depth to its full extension first thing when we got it, which he needed to accommodate longer leg length.We don't ever really engage the lifting arms for exit, but it's a handy feature if the person is not as mobile or needs to keep their arm held out to the side or something, I guess.He said the seat itself is not terribly comfortable, but he doesn't normally sit in it long enough that it really bothers him. I would probably invest in one of the seat pillows for sale here if we were going to use it for long stretches of time. I know there is also a backpack/satchel for sale that we may buy, because it is hard to hold a purse and push the wheelchair without the bottom of my purse rubbing the back wheels.We have had zero issues with wheel wobbling or trouble rolling over asphalt. I haven't tried any off-road usage, but everywhere we've been in the two months we've had it, we've had no trouble. Carpets, pavement, linoleum, tile--all have been fine. Haven't noticed any squeaking or other structural deficiencies.All in all, we're pleased with our purchase and it meets our needs. I'd recommend for light to medium usage, but maybe if you need something everyday or for longer periods of time, purchase a heavier-duty model. I only gave it four stars because I thought it would be easier to fold and a bit lighter in weight, but that's not really a deterrent to purchase, just something to take note of if you are not a stronger or able-bodied person.

My 88 year old husband has dementia and can't walk more than one step. I have been using a more common type of chair where the arms end about 6 inches back from the front of the seat. This chair has arms that go to the front of the seat, so he can more easily put his hands on the arms to lower himself down, then push himself up to get to a walker for his one step to something else. Because of the arm length, this chair doesn't fit under the table, so a bib is necessary when eating. I also have a transport chair to use for times when I have to take him out, so the weight of the chair doesn't matter to me. Every patient is different, every caregiving situation is different, this chair works for my husband (and me) in the condition he is in right now. He can't tell me if he likes it, and is no longer able to cooperate in his care. The person who is grateful is me, the caregiver.

Great, quality manual wheelchair. This is the second Drive Medical Cruiser III I've purchased. The first one was bought from another retailer almost 6 years ago for close to $100 more. I was excited to find this on Amazon for a lot less, and combined with the extra money off coupon offered, the price can't be beat.The wheelchair is light enough that my husband and friend who are both in their mid seventies can load and unload it from our SUV. Locking brakes are good and never had an issue with them. All and all, if I live long enough, I'll be buying another.😜🤭

I bought this chair when husband weighed 265. He weighs 345 now. When he plopped into chair he tore the very front corner. It was working perfectly for a transfer chair and for me when I had to stay off my feet 2 weeks.This seems to be a great chair. That said, I did buy originally knowing my husband would gain weight once he got home from 6 mo hospital stay where they controlled his diet. I did not expect him to gain as much as he did though. I intentionally bought with a 50 lb over weight guessing he would get to 300 and chair is rated 350. So, if you have no control lowering into the chair, I would definitely buy 100 lbs over the suggested weight. The chair tore only because my husband did not use it right plus neared the max weight of the chair and plopped causing a much greater force,.Yes I would recommend. I am currently looking for the same chair but bigger. :-(It was easy for me to fold and lift into car even one armed. I injured both wrists and hands in a fall and had surgery one hand at a time. I simply used my hip as my fulcrum and grabbed the locked large wheel and tilted my hip and pulled with one hand and arm. I would set it on the edge of the trunk where I have a rubberish plastic edge that protects the paint. I did have a windshield sunshade laying inside the trunk for the wheelchair to slide in and out by sliding. This was not that difficult even though I need a hip replacement and arthritis in my back and hand issues. I did see a youtube where the handicapped passenger had a rope in the front seat that extended to the trunk and the mature lady tied it on. She lifted while he pulled, another great alternative.

arrived with a cracked part that holds arms down. Called drive and they started a case for us but have not gotten back to us to resolve the issue in over two weeks.

Well made, easy to use

Easy to use, holds up well to multiple hour use at a time. Would recommend a seat cushion for long usage. Sturdy and holds up to a larger person and the extra width adds to the comfort.

Para personas que tienen sobrepeso o que son de cadera ancha es una excelente opción, muy resistente y cómoda

Strong and functional. Gives me independance for days I can't walk.

Excelente Calidad, le sirvió perfectamente a mi señor Padre. La recomiendo ampliamente
