Once this chair is folded, can it be pushed on the wheels or does it need to be carried? Like if I fold it in the house and then take it to the car.

The answer is yes. It can be rolled when it is folded. When I take it out of the trunk I roll it in the garage to it's resting place. Hope this helps you. Anymore questions please don't hesitate.

As long as the wheels are straight, it can be pushed. Remember though, it cannot be folded unless the stabilizer bar is removed first.

Hi JRSPIN, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Bariatric Transport Chair with 12 Inches Rear Flat Free Wheels. Once, folded this wheelchair can be pushed so that it rolls on the wheels to get to your car.

You can still push it on the wheels after you fold it. This is an awesome chair!

The chair can be pushed, but the front wheels are not very steerable. I just tiltthe chair back some when I need to turn a corner

Yes - even if there is no load, as long as the bottom part is down, it'll stay open. If you fold the bottom part up, then the wheels will go into storage position. In other words, the wheels being out aren't dependent on a weight being carried; rather, they are determined by whether the load-bearing part is in the storage position, or in the "carrying stuff" position. Hope that helps.

Yes. I remove the legs, which just lift off from the free swing position, then pull up on the seat to fold the chair. You can leave the legs on, but it is easier to fit in the trunk with them off.

I got the quick release wheels, but have not used them to date. I would say unless you will be transporting the chair in a compact vehicle, you will probably not need them. It fits easily in my car.

I agree with Margaret. I, too, purchased the quick release wheels, but haven't needed to remove them. I load the chair into a small SUV, however, not a car.

Don't know how heavy it is--should be listed on the specs in Amazon. As for folding, there are two release buttons on the two uprights right below the cloth backrest. The seat needs to be folded up first.

The chair comes already put together. It folds like a regular folding chair. The storage rack below the seat is the only thing that has to be attached. I still haven't attached it yet. I don't know if it would fold with the storage rack, so I haven't bothered with attaching it. Otherwise it works fine.

Sorry, been staying at my parents house and have not been at home. Yes, it does fold and can be transported, being female, I do find it a little heavy. Good luck Emilio

It folds down flat on the base but it not super maneuverable. The wheels are large so the whole thing is pretty bulky.

I found it quite easy. Love this chair, easy to transport as well (folds back in car)

It does not collapse or fold for transporting in vehicle. I don't have it with me now to see how easy it is to take it apart for transporting and then reassembling it at destination. For general comments I found the chair a little flimsy/shaky.

You don't have to remove the seat to fold but folding is not as easy as the regular travel system. you can check a youtube vedio to get a better idea. I'm returning it because the handbrake is not working well after one month. Otherwise it's great.

I guess you could take it apart and carry it, but really once it's set up, you probably won't want to. It's not really meant for portability I don't think. It is very sturdy. 200lb+ people have sat on it with no problems at all. Overall great chair!

Yes, it folds in half, taking off the basket and tray, and is relatively light so it packs away in a car. The exact weight should be on the website. Because of the 3 wheel size though this is mostly for the house, and maybe out to the mailbox. We bought a 4 wheel walker for distance outside walking.

Not certain I understand your question. The walker folds flat (once the basket is removed) so it can be put in a car and moved from place to place, or be checked as luggage. The likelihood of it coming open during transport is very slight.

I have picked it up and moved it around the patio but if you were carrying it folded up in the carrier...my guess is 25 lbs. I don't know I could carry it very far. I could probably get it to the car from the house...but not much farther. LIke it and it fits our occasional usage lifestyle.

You put it where you want it and pretty much leave it there. It weighs a couple of hundred pounds and it does not fold up. That's why it is so durable. There are two plastic casters on the front end and a metal handle at the back that allows you to tip it forward and move the unit short distances.
