Looking for a lightweight chair that i can lift in and out of my car for my Mom - does anyone know the weight of the chair?

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.

Weight is about 25 lbs without foot supports. The supports pop on and off super easy. It all depends on how high you have to lift and how big the car is. If you have to lay it flat like in our Prius, you might like a lighter model

Other people have answered size. If you are concerned about how much it weighs, it is not lightweight, but neither is it overly heavy - about 40 lbs. I bend my knees suck in my core and use my arms to lift the folded up chair into the space of my small hatch back car. I am 75 years old and I can lift it. My overweight, (because of meds), daughter (180lbs size PXL), fits just fine with room to spare. She is short but feet do reach the foot rest. If you saw my review you know I added a seat belt and better front wheels as this is her stroller and gets a lot of use as walking distances and being in a public place is difficult for her with her autism.

About 20 lbs. My regular wheelchair weighs approximately 50 lbs. It is difficult for most women to lift the heavier wheelchair into a car. The problem I find with the 20 lbs. is that(if you look at the photo) the person sitting in the chair cannot move it. So you sacrifice one thing for another.

I have the 6 foot and my mom is much lighter than my dad. It was ok for her(175lbs + 50 lb wheel chair and myself pushing her) however when I had my dad 250 lbs + 50 wheelchair and myself it was a scary ride.... not sturdy.

Don't know but I would ask the company. It is pretty light. I am able to lift it into our car.

I do not know exactly how much it weighs as I don't own a scale but I can tell you it is like picking up an outdoor webbed lawn chair, so light. It is aluminum and canvas. I carry it easily with one arm and I am an average sized woman at 5' 5" . HTH

My 84 year old mother can lift it in and out of her car without too much trouble. I believe it weighs around 16 lbs.

I am not sure of the exact weight as it was given to my mother. She is able to lift it. My guess would be not more then 5 or 6 lbs.

About 19 lbs. It's light weight but still requires some strength to load and unload in a car or trunk of car. Maneuvering, pushing and folding is very easy. The chair is wonderful. I purchased a cup holder, bag and cushion as well.

I'm not home to weigh it but it's very light. I'm 73 and have no problem getting it in and out of the trunk. I have a walker with a seat and it's a lot heavier. I hope this helps. Fran

I THINK it's 2-3 lbs. My 86-year-old mother, who has very limited mobility and no strength in her hands, manages it quite easily and LOVES it. She keeps it in her car for her outings. I hope this helps!

Not sure how much it weighs, but I had no trouble lifting it into the car and I'm in the senior citizen category. Folds very flat. I don't need mine at the moment, but keep it stored in the back of my station wagon so it's available.

I am not sure about the exact weight but I would say it is definitely light weight. I have no problem lifting it and and out of the trunk of my car. I love this stroller and HIGHLY recommend it.

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.

I'd say it's close to 20 pounds, but not sure. I have to lift it into the trunk of my car and I'm able to do it even though I'm 70 years old. My husband uses it and it's a really nice chair. Love the features and it's well made.

Don't know exact weight, but the item is not bulky and I can easily lift it in and out of the hatch back of car. I think the weight cap was 200lbs. It is very sturdy - my Dad weighs about 145-150. Footrests tend to flop about when chair is folded.
