Is this appropriate to use for visiting a museum? I'm not sure exactly sure for what distance a transport chair is intended.

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.

Yes, it is appropriate, what I like in this wheelchair, is its light, I used to drive my husband in his dialysis treatment, the old wheelchair I have been using is so heavy, for me this is a durable one. Everyone who sees it likes it.

Hi Cassie it is appropriate for any use where the patient will not need or is unable to wheel a standard wheelchair by themselves. The larger wheels on standard wheelchairs only give the user some control if needed, but they are much more cumbersome to use and carry around.

This chair might need a seat and back cushion for extended time in the chair. They are inexpensive and would make the rider more comfortable. The chair is easy to push and has a little pocket for a bottle of water, etc.

Hi Cassie, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! Transport chairs are designed so that the user may be pushed by another individual. This chair would be great to use at the museum, but the user will not be able to propel themselves they will need to be pushed.

I suppose you could take an entire section out and re-attach the shock cord. I'm about 5'4 1/2" and LOVE my cane chair. I've bought a few of them bc I'll lose one and can't live without it and I've really lost one on a train :-(. I'm a fan of the FOLDING cane chair, not the one that has a rigid leg (accidentally ordered that once due to poor product description).Carol's point is a good one, you are not perched atop it, it will make a tripod with your legs.

It's not rated specifically for vehicle transport due to lightweight material but it was excellent for transporting my sister on outings and doctor appointments. The recline was very helpful for long waits at appointments.

This is a transport chair with 4 wheels small, like the hwhee chairs that have large wheels . the passenger in the chair to must be pushed by a person.

It is likely too large for carry on. It will fit in a checked bag. It is a keyboard bench so no back support. I would look for a more suitable portable chair.

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.

It's as low as a regular table chair. If your person or you have knee problems it might be difficult to get up again. It's takes a moment to get used to the tripodness. A older person should use a walker with a chair but if your stubborn like my mom and not ready for that just yet this might work.

It is a significant chair but it's not too hard to move! If you want, slide some small squares of cardboard under the legs and you could move it easily!

JC, I would definitely recommend against using the chair for this purpose. It is built with thin tubing, and is collapsible for transport. Additionally, it has steel parts that would be damaged (my opinion) if used in a shower.

My mother is under five feet and the chair works fine for her. Three of my friends have bought it for their taller parents and haven't complained. There are foot rests. Google to find the dimensions and compare to a larger transport chair..........This seat is 15-16 inches deep.

Kelly-the rollato walkerr might work, but I don't think it is recommended to do this. Have you looked into transport chairs?

It isn't really a travel chair. It is very light (my 2yo moves it around the playroom frequently) & incredibly comfortable to use when sitting on the floor. The light metal frame is what prevents it from being a good travel chair... The fabric/cushion seat flips up but the frame does not fold. There is another version of the blackjack that fold flat but it is pricier and still not really portable... Just more compact

We used seat on a trip to Florida. It worked well for the trip, is very lightweight and easily portable. I'm not sure I'd like to use it on a daily basis. It scooted around a bit on the chair it was attached to. It's great for travel, not sure about daily use.

I'm afraid it's not designed to do what you're asking it to do. To obtain the tripod effect you have to open the chair, and that reduces the height considerably. I believe you're better off locating a cane with a wide circular foot that provides stability for walking.

this is considered a small transport chair so a small adult or a child would be fine..

I love this chair but it is a bit heavy. Then again, I'm an aging hippie, not an 11 year old slim girl, might be less of an issue for you. Definitely would not work for a stadium but if you are just going to take it out of the car and set it up on the sidelines (without a long walk) it would work fine.
