My son has mobility issues. At 45 pounds and almost 4 feet tall, he is too big for a stroller. Would this be a good chair for inside and outside use

Remember this is a transport chair, so it will not have a headrest or padding if he has any spasms. It also tends to catch a bit on elevator landings. I found it easy to handle at about 25 pounds. You may want to visit a local medical supply company to try one out first.

yes........I used it for my wife who had ALS & other issues. Chair worked very well to and from medical appointments, would fit in car trunk ,opened & closed with ease.

I would say yes. definitely. It is lightweight and easy to handle. And easy to steer. it was a problem on my braided rug over my family room carpet but any kind would not go well on that!! Other than that I think it would be awesome for him!! Give it a try!!

Hi Bethany, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Economy Transport Chair. This chair would be a good fit as it is perfect for pushing another individual around. Its overall width is 23.5" which fits through almost any size doorway.

Hi,. I got this for my mom, and she is 87 5' tall.. After I took out of box,i did not have to adjust anything.. Meaning that the adjustments I think for someone, shorter it would work well for.. Love the chair, very easy to adjust and folding up easy, very lightweight. I would say yes for the price, this chair is well worth it.. Hope this helps, :)

I used it for my father who weighed 145 lbs, and about 5ft 9. It is called a transporter chair because it is good for someone pushing someone else. Does not have large back wheels for self pushing. Very easy to handle and fold. I bought an extra gel cushion, also by drive. I think it should work for you.

Yes, it will. My son is about 3'2" and about 40 lbs. and his feet can't touch the ground while he's sitting in it. They can reach the tops of the wheels, so I have to ask him to keep his feet on the foot rest in the middle, but I definitely find the stroller is big enough for exactly that sized kid. Also, he used be "wrapped up" in the umbrella stroller, like a cocoon. This one has a firmer back with more structure. There's room on either side of him while he's in the stroller.

I don't know about the stroller accommodating a 44" child, however, I would not drag this around Disney World. It is too cumbersome for that purpose. I never travel with this stroller, using it strictly for jogging/walking. I have a Britax stroller that I use when traveling and it is much easier to fold and drag around due to its smaller size.

I don't think this stroller works for a child who can't sit up on his/her own. It may have an attachment allowing you to use a baby carrier, but I'm not sure.

I m 5'2", however the stroller handle part is high. I think it would work fine. My husband is 5'11" and he didnt feel awkward pushing it. This is an awesome stroller!!!!

Depending on the size of the child, I think this step stool might not be a good "chair". Not roomy enough. Hope this is helpful.

If your boy around 40 lbs, I would suggest go with " bigger " stroller. I believe this stroller is too small for him.

This chair should do just fine. My child is about to be a year old, but definitely had plenty of space to grow into the chair.

I'm 6'2 and have had issues with all strollers being a decent height except for this one. It has worked out great. It is taller than any other umbrella stroller we have tried.

Yes, definitely! It is perfect for a newborn. I bought this for my grandaughter and have been strolling her around since she was about 1 week old. It has multilevel settings for the backrest and you can sit them up or lay it all the way down. I love this stroller. Very sturdy and an excellent buy!

Not a great choice for either I would say... its not an offroad stroller, and its simply too large to be reasonable at a busy airport. I wont lie, this sucker is heavy and long. I would take measurements of your vehicle before you buy because it wont fit in some. That said for things like zoo days or parks with sidewalks, we absolutely love it. Our 4 year has some physical limitations and the back seat allows her easy in and out and lets her feel like a big kid without being strapped into a traditional mobility stroller. I completely endorse it, but you need to be aware this is probably not an every day kind of stroller.

My tall 4 yr old fits comfortably in the stroller and he loves it- might be more of a weight issue for how much you want to push while running too:) I still think he has some room to grow in the stroller as well.

This seat is not something you will place on a stroller for a child seat. It is a convertible seat that happens to have a base for use up to 45 lbs. I purchased this seat and returned it when I couldn't get the belt to tighten with my son's 20 lb weight in it.

I haves used this chair for doctor visits and once for a short trip to the mall and we were happy with it, but we were not longer then an hour. I believe he would become not as comfortable as in a wheel chair.

Clearly, this is a great stroller for small dogs. I don't know that I would use it for a 45# dog who is active and fit. I think it could easily be used for a 45# dog who has had surgery or who is incapacitated in some way. I use it for my Havanese puppy who was born with a foot/leg deformity. Even he is becoming mobile enough not to need it any more.

I think it would not be a very good fit for him. I am 5'9" and the stride is okay. However, my machine is not very sturdy and it is really noisy. I think this machine would drive him nuts. The foot pedals are also at a slant, so you sort of have to concentrate to keep your feet back or your toes will crunch. The machine is okay, but if I were any taller or heavier I am afraid it would just fall apart.
