I am interested in this cart since I see it is only 12.7 pounds. My concern was reading an answer to a question that said it doesnt fold flat. I dont have a lot of room in my house and it would be nice to have it fold in half when I get to my bed. Also I want to fit it in the trunk of my car without it taking up a lot of space?

Marilyn, I don't know how helpful I will be. I purchased this for my mother a little bit before her knee surgery. Unfortunately, she passed 3 weeks after me purchasing this for her. I do know she loved this as it was very stable and it fit in a small trunk (Jetta). As to folding flat I do not know. I do know she had a loaner one that her dr lent her that she didn't like at all and this one she loved as control was nice if she got tired she could sit. I hope this was helpful. Sincerely, Erin

It folds pretty flat and doesn't take much room in the trunk. In fact it's folded flat under our house now. Got it for my wife when she broke her hip last April Fool's day. Worked great.

The cart I have I believe couldn't weigh more than 7 to 8 lbs it is very light and when its loaded with everything we can possible put on it is so easy to push or pull. Very happy with our cart.

It does fold. I wouldn't say it's flat though. Prob at least 10 inch tall folded. I have a very very small trunk but it still fits in my trunk just fine. :-)

Assembled and folded up, it weighs between 10 and 12 pounds. Frankly, the only time that I've folded it up is to put it into a vehicle. Otherwise, I'll push it along (requires just one finger - smooth). It feels light when you're pushing it - almost like an umbrella stroller of 20 years ago. It looks just like a baby carriage. One neighbor saw us and thought we had a late one... (lol).

As the Amazon title states - it is 11 pounds. It folds by opening the seat and grabbing a handle inside at the bottom of the fabric basket and pulling upward, which makes the whole unit fold and flatten as you lift. It does not go completely flat - but enough to go up/down stairs and to place it into a vehicle easily. The key aspect we needed was the low seat - which is unique in that it is only 17 inches high so my 4'10" mother-in-law can sit on it and have her feet touch the ground! This is a very nice unit and she loves it. Hope this helps!

"I am looking to use this to wheel items to and from a car . . . Why do y think the wheels will hold up?"I don't know about the wheels holding up, I pushed this cart with about 10 lbs of stuff on it and since it was a smooth floor, nothing fell down and it was easy to push. If the area between your car and where you're loading the stuff from has small rocks/gravel, then I don't think there'll be stable enough to support the cart and it will tip over.

I purchased this for my mom as well. It weighs 36 pounds or so. Once I figured out how to 'grab' it so I wasn't holding a wheel (which would then spin), it is pretty easy to lift in and our of car. Very easy to fold and unfold, and it rolls very smoothly.

This is a GREAT piece of furniture and folds pretty flat, but it is rather heavy and not designed for outside use. There are ramps designed espeically for SUVs and cars that would probably work better, be lighter, and take up even less space.

Not sure, but it is more than a transport chair - I have 2 transport chairs for my son and bought this because it converts. The foot rests are substantial - more than a transport chair. My guess is that its 20 pounds without the big wheels. Even with the big wheels on it collapses and folds well and fits into the trunk once the foot rests are removed. The big wheels makes it much easier to push for extended time and over uneven ground. If your main goal is light weight, I would stick to the traditional transport chair.

Well, I no longer have it, imagine seller can tell you that. But it is not very heavy. I gave it to my son-in-law and the two of us had no trouble putting it in the station wagon. Had to put down one back seat to compensate a bit for the length. I remember that the box was quite narrow, everything neatly rolled up, aluminum frame in pieces of probably no more than c.5+? feet. You will love it I am sure.

I'm not sure how great this would be as a dedicated cart. A lot depends on how much weight you're hoping to carry and the surface it'll be on. When I've got one fully loaded with comic short boxes, I can move it around a bit, to swing it out of the way or shimmy it aside. But the wheels will get hung up easily on small lips or seams in the floor. Also, when it's fully loaded, it doesn't necessarily feel sturdy and rigid enough to haul things around. It feels like if you're not careful, it can tip relatively easily. Something with larger casters that swivel more easily and a sturdier frame might be a better bet.

It's got some weight to it. I would say 12 pounds or so. It folds flat though.

There appear to be different manufacturere of this walker, therefore different weights. I took the bag off mine (it interferes with walking) and am able to lift it into and out of the trunk of my car. You want to be sure that the walker is stable when sitting by itself, and not one that tips over easily. Some (different manufacturers) are pretty unstable (I sent them back). I have found it to be an excellent help and it makes my getting around (I have four (4) broken vertebrae in my back) -- easy. Good luck.

Would be flat if the basket part itself was able to fold. I have a pretty small trunk though and it's still able to fit.

You may be able to easily secure it and fold it in half, but once deflated it is quite a mattress as a mattress should be. Maybe a 7 or 9 inch would be a bit more friendly for your needs.
