I wonder how this would do with my power wheelchair. I only have the use of one hand so both the leash and the joystick to drive the wheelchair needs

It should work great if you intend to fasten it in one place on the chair and leave it there. The bungee part can become knotted rather tightly from repeated walks of dogs who are strong pullers, such that I imagine it might be difficult to remove with one hand. But if you intend to leave it fastened in place and just connect the leash to the carabineer clip, it should work out nicely for you.

So... I wouldn't recommend this. I have a 65# female black lab that likes to poop. She will stop or pull unexpectedly and basically after 3 or 4 bike rides, it broke. So I jerry-rigged it and basically it blew up (all these tiny strands of rubber appeared). I decided to go Home Depot and bought a bungee cord with carabiners on each end. They have different lengths and are much stronger than this cheap thing... and they only cost about $4... I should've done that in the first place and saved my money. They were in the aisle with tie down straps and other things of that nature. If you're in a wheelchair with limited mobility, I WOULD NOT recommend this product. It's a major risk to your safety... please be careful and good luck!!

You may need 2 because my dog is a little too close to my bike with just one. I would also have a spare carabiner or two on hand. They are super cheap and may need replacing. Other than that I think it would be useful for you.

This product works greatly to attach to anything as it loops around and as opposed to both end carabiners does not damage. The metal against metal has severely the paint on my bicycle before I discovered this one. I have used it now daily for the last 2 years and it still works great while my dog is a strong puller for rabbits and squirrels. Absolute GREAT and SAFE product perfectly to use with any product. Good luck!

We have it on a walker so I'm not sure how it fits on wheelchair. Work really great on a walker.

Did not work for me. No way to secure this to the chair. Mine kept slipping off the chair in the wheelchair van I used to go to VA clinics and hospital. I no longer use it.

I would not recommend this to bo used as a wheelchair even though it is very strong & sturdy. I feel this was not the intent and would be dangerous to do so.

Hi Bill, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! This wheelchair is able to be self-propelled.

I have it on mine. It works best on that model when attached to the backrest piece that you move to switch from walker to wheelchair and not the frame of the walker. This does make it so your drink is behind you when in wheelchair position but when being used as a walker it's just fine.

It's not easy to go over threshholds because the wheels are relatively small. Have to wrestle with it. A regular wheelchair works better there, with a notch on the back that the steering party can put their foot on to raise the front wheel slightly as needed. & the large wheels make it easier to push too. Can't speak to carpet, but almost tumbled my Mom out trying to do down a cobble stoned ramp at an art show in the streets. This chair is handy sometimes, but a real wheelchair probably works best for long-term situations. Mom used it to push her laundry to the laundry room yesterday...

Don't know how the wheel on a wheelchair is attached. The arm has a piece that you thread the center pin of the bike tire through. The hole is less than 1/4" in diameter, only big enough for the quick release pins on a bike tire. I think wheelchair ones are larger. I would try looking at the walkie dog one as well as it looks like it has a clamp arrangement instead. Not sure if that is sufficient help

I haven't tested it in a wheelchair, but after buying two of them and trying them in several different kinds of chairs, I would think that the sling-type seat in a wheelchair wouldn't support this device securely enough to make it reliable. It needs to remain securely cradled in a chair (works great, for example, in soft chairs with arms--recliners, for example).

This is how the wheelchair should be set up. Look at how the foam things are attached. http://www.bestfriendmobility.org/shop/images/img3-2.jpg

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.

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.

Excellent. I could turn in a single motion on a bus to slide into the wheelchair space. (I'm now the not-so-proud owner of a Gline Spitfire, which compared to the Scootie is a piece of crap.) :-(

I use this wheelchair in my house all the time and can move independently. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't be able to use it sitting in my wheelchair because the peddles are too high and the peddles scoot away while in use. I wish I hadn't bought this.

I returned it. Too small and I am glad I did. My dog is starting to walk after his surgury and I am sure this would have hampered it. I bought a wheelchair instead. The drawbacks to the wheelchair is that the dog cannot sit down and rest at any time and needs to be removed for a break.
