Does it work well as a wheelchair?

It can be used somewhat as a wheelchair; but I would not recommend it for an every day use as a wheelchair. It does have a foot rest for your feet.

It does work well as a wheelchair. It is a little heavier than the walker that my mother currently uses and the backrest bar is a little difficult to move from front to back. We only use the Drive when I know she will get tired walking. Hope this helps.

bought it for in-laws. Dad pushes mom around in the malls when she gets tired. She takes it shopping when by herself to always have a ready made seat nearby when she gets tired. slightly cumbersome for her to get in and out of the car when alone, but manages. They liked it the best of they looked at, and they looked fro several months, if not a year.

Yes it does. I am usually mobile, but for those times I need to rest, and be pushed, this is perfect. The seat is kind of hard, tho. I only weigh 115.

It works OK as a wheelchair, just remember the front wheels pivot so when going over thresholds and bumps you need to back them over because the back wheels do not pivot. It is not something my Grandmother can use by herself because she is unable to get it in and out of the car alone with her arthritis but it works well for doctor's appointments.

The directions say this is not a wheel chair so I would say no it is very stable to sit on for long lengths of time, my sister says she uses this as a chair often it is very mobile. This has hand brakes like a bike so you would need decision making skills and be able to squeeze the brake ( although it doesn't take much hand strength) i already see a few more of these at the home. We love this and so does my sister. Remember you can take the handles off to fit in a car. Pluses very much out weigh the minus.

For the price I think it would wouldwork as well as anything that I have seen, Please note that your arms will get wet because there are no actual sleeves, but I think it will fit over the wheelchair easily. Good luck, Jeff

I would say yes with a little strategy and maneuvering. Maybe a small table behind the wheelchair it can be done.

I have used the lift to transfer my husband from the floor to a chair and from the wheelchair, with no problems. The lift functions well and I would have to say there should be no problem in using it to transfer someone into a vehicle. I sincerely hope this helps you out.

The person we bought this for has it hanging from their walker so they don't rush to get to the phone. I guess it would be good with a wheelchair too. Basically any situation where you don't want someone rushing and potentially getting hurt.

I am not sure about the wheelchair. It probably will. It has enough room to hold my husband's electric cart. The wheelchair would probably fit. Take the measurements of the wheelchair and see if the carrier is wide enough for the wheelchair. You will probably need to tie the wheelchair to the carrier with tie downs for safety reasons, which is what we do with the electric cart, and the tie downs are easily removed when you want to unload the chair.

The chair does have arm rests that fold down when being used as a wheelchair. They are easy to put up if the chair used as a walker.

I would take my mother for a ride outside in this wheelchair, and the wheels would get stuck easily. I bought a regular wheelchair for her to use outside.

Yes, I also have an extra wide wheelchair. It worked out great we recently took it on a trip to New Orleans and I put my purse in it.

It's smaller and easier to manage than a wheelchair. It's probably 30 lbs, and as wide as the seat of a car.

Don't know much about wheelchair models but if it's a chair you should be able to sit and pedal with the chair locked In place. It can also be used on a tabletop to strengthen arms and upper body.

The seat is a bit on the small side, no more than 1' x 10", and it will flip up when the walker is folded so the whole thing can be put in the trunk. The wheel brakes will not stay locked, either. Or if they will, I never used that function and was not aware of it. I used this as a wheelchair substitute for a good 6 months or more, scooting it around backwards in the house with my good leg. The small footprint made it easily manueverable inside a small home. The front wheels are a little small, however, and that causes one's center of gravity to be rather far forward...this device can pitch you forward when "walking" or scooting around if those small wheels hit a threshold. After it happened the first time, I was aware that it could happen, and did not repeat that disaster.

I have been in a manual wheelchair since 1987 so I have just a little experience with this type of wheelchair. It is very easy to move from room to room. As to the doors if they worked for your motorized chair it will be the same. Another thing I like is the wheelchair has rough covering for you to push/drive yourself which is great if it's raining or your hands get wet verses the chrome ones.

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 is a folding wheelchair but quite heavy. Almost 70lbs and very difficult to get into a car.

Yes. It has worked out well as a cushion in my husband's wheel chair. He says it is more comfortable for him than a softer foam cushion we tried.
