Can this be used as a wheelchair?

Not intended for this use, but in a pinch for a short distance I suppose it might work.

Instructions are pretty clear that a Hugo Walker was never intended to be used as a wheelchair. While the walker easily holds the static weight of a person on the seat (a great feature) and the brakes can set to keep the Hugo from moving, I'm sure there are other stresses if that weight is moving, particularly over rough surfaces. There would be no leg support and legs would oppose the person pushing. I think it could be used as a wheelchair in an all-out emergency where someone cannot be transported in any other way, but definitely not used routinely.

I would not recommend this to bo used as a wheelchair even though it is very strong & sturdy. I feel this was not the intent and would be dangerous to do so.

Judy has passed away but yes we used it to move her around. Sat in the seat facing you and pushed her around so her feet were not in the way if you pushed her the other way. We really liked it. Had lots of storage. Bigger wheels worked better in the country as they would roll over things and not get stuck. Wendell Sheriff, Greenfield, Iowa.

I think it probably would fit on a wheelchair since it fits on a stroller. It seems like its wide enough, and the straps are adjustable.But you might want to buy one that is for a double stroller just in case.

I do not see why not. the pad is plugged to a cord that has a metal clip that needs to be attached to metal. Does the wheelchair have somewhere to attach a small alligator clip? best would be to contact manufacturer however or Dr. Sinatra.

I have never seen one on a wheelchair but if there is an 1 1/4" tube somewhere on the seat or armrests it would work.

I don't see why not, but don't really know. I do know that one should not bear the cost for a whole new chair. Right now it is something that I have to check out for my regular wheelchair as the tread is all worn and it slips on smooth surfaces. On a transport chair I would think this could be critical as the person being transported has no control of the chair and the brakes don't seem to be as strong.

Sure you can, if your legs reach the floor and you use your feet to 'walk' along. As you can imagine not a great wheelchair alternative for anything other than short distances. However it works fine to sit in and have your caregiver push you with the handles. I do this with my lady friend all the time.

The crutches and cast would not be able to be used with Barbie. Barbie could sit in the wheelchair but it is definitely oversized for a Barbie.

It would be possible but not sure how comfortable. The arms on the chair would need to be flat. You might need someone to take it from you when you want to get up. Hope this helps as I love mine.

I'm sorry I don't have this information as the wheelchair is with my uncle in a nursing home. But although its a great chair it's on the petite side so may be too small for a man of his stature.

I think that this might work for you, maybe for a year. Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Good luck finding the right wheelchair. =)

Yes. it should be fine. Just be sure that the wheelchair seat is big enough for the cushion as it is rather large.

I am not sure of your question? but if you mean, can it be attached in some way to carry along, I think it might be able to be attached in some way, because it is so lightweight. The back folds down easily...where you see the handles, there are tabs when you push and that entire back can fold down to make the chair easier to store or load. But I cannot state with certainty you can carry it on an electric wheelchair as we have not done so and don't have one. Just have a heavy-weight regular chair and this is a second chair.

Yes it will definitely work with a wheelchair. Although like anything else , your clothes will shift every couple of hours . Just make adjustments acorddenly

yes. if you dont bolt it to the rack, you can use it like a furniture dolly.

Yes, it folds up like standard wheelchairs to transport in Vehicles or store at Home. It is great if you have to be at a Dr.'s appt for several hours, because of the reclining feature.

yes! it can be. though changing the orientation of the legs regularly would break it for sure i guess. P.S. The joints of the legs are not good, one of them malfunctioned making it useless after a month's use for me

I don't think so. It is smaller (shorter) than a standard chair. I have to use cushions for myself and I am 5 feet 2. Although a woman at church has one and she is six foot, and she helps whom ever is pushing her by using her feet. The wheelchair legs are very short. I hope I helped. It is a great chair.
