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.

I attached mine to my motorized wheelchair, and it works fine. Be sure to find the right place to attach the bracket.

The seat is solid and clips down on the frame so can be used as a wheelchair. When you lift it off it is a commode with a "bucket" that is slid in underneath from the rear. My mom took a shower every other day so the chair rolled well into our showere and the commode was great.

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! I bought it for a family member who is disabled and she has had no trouble with it and takes it everywhere. It did get stuck in the mud at a baseball game, but she felt safe sitting in it. It's a great purchase. I will probably get another one this summer for myself!

Not to be used as a wheelchair, it's a walker you may sit and rest when tired

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.

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.

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

My son uses it for his wheelchair -- it works fine for that and he loves it. Requires quite a bit of dexterity so I imagine it would be fine for kayaking.

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.

I really wouldn't be able to tell you. You might if the wheelchair has the same screws and assembly has a bicycle.

Chris D. I am sorry I do not know about a wheelchair. However, in a car or chair at home or work, it is great. I think I would give it a try in a wheelchair. The best to you.

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.

We removed the legs and my elderly mother can easily move the wheelchair. My mother can stand and walk a few steps and easily transfer herself into and out of the chair. The narrow design helps to negotiate doorways and tight spaces. We purchased cushions for the seat and back.

The realistic answer to this question is, it depends on you, to some extent. I found it easier to fold and set up than any wheelchair. It's about half the weight of the lightweight chairs. It's best used for someone who is moderately able to ambulate on his/her own, whereas someone using a wheelchair only needs to be able to sit upright. The long answer asks that you assess where you are at this point in your life. *How easily can you raise/lift/handle a 20+ weight that is awkwardly shaped? *Are you a 60 yr old helping someone who is 85? *Are you 75 and planning to handle this piece of equipment yourself? *Will you be putting this into a car/truck/van for use outside the home? In that case, check the height that you will need to lift the rollator, the space available against the dimension of this item, etc.

no, it is not adjustable. I use this as a second wheelchair, great for shopping and other uses when small size is an advantage. It is not the type of chair to use as an only wheelchair.
