Would you let your senior mother use this chair?

I am a 67 year old female and I have no problems with this chair. I use it everyday.

There is very little "resistance" during the operation of this chair and it reclines to an extreme position, which is one of the things I like about it. But it is possible for the chair to fall back to it's fully reclined position rather suddenly which could be alarming at the very least, not to mention difficult to get out of for someone with minimal strength. The safety locks might be in an awkward place for an elderly person to deal with as well. If your mother is frail, or less than adventurous, I would not recommend this chair. Uncle Crusty

Yes absolutely. It's as safe as any other chair i suppose, if not safer. I personally love the trampoline style fabric, I'm not exactly young myself and this chair is great for my back and hip pains.

Yes, its safe and comfortable, but need to teach her how to use it. After sitting, push leg front and head back. To get back to sitting position, pull hand rest with both hand

Hi Kathryn,That depends my mother is 78 and yes I could show her how to use the chair with no issues. However, if this person has balance/coordination issues, when it goes back it may make them uneasy or have a falling feeling only if you don't realize what you are doing. It is easy to use once they get the hang of pushing the foot bar out so that it goes back. The locking mechanism is easy to use so I would not see any issue even if they had trouble with their hands for some reason. But that is my best advise. Hopefully this helps.

It would be much too hard for a 90 year old to push the chair back in. You have to use your legs to push the foot rest back in once it's extended. It's hard for me and I'm in my 30's.

I wouldn't think so..might be too much of a strain on the wheels. Would also depend on your mother's weight.

From my experience she probably will not be content sitting there. I found this hard to get my son in and out so I actually returned mine :(

Yes I found it very easy to use and I am 78 so hopefully your mother will cope too.

My mother-in-law is 89. She was only having bed baths for over a year, until we got this chair. She sits on the chair outside if the tub and then is pushed into tub. The caregivers lift her legs over the side. We ordered an extra side hande , one on both sides! She loves it. We need to order the long bench to give her room to sit down outside of tub.

I got the chair for my mom. She uses it everyday when she is putting on her makeup and fixing her hair. So far she has had no trouble and she really likes the chair.

Yes, this chair is very comfortable and should be easy for her to get up. Highly recommend.

At the lowest setting this would be perfect for your Mom. However, the unit itself is heavy. You will need to ether keep in in one place or have someone able to easily lift 30+ plus pounds to move it from one location to another. It is also a bit bulky. It is tricky to lift by the pedals because they rotate.

I don't no. I gave it as a gift to my mom. I don't think that she has ever used it. She is elderly. I think that was the wrong gift to give to an ederly person.

Hi Erin, UH- for aging parents and on the beach with the soft sand and all. It would be a bit of a task for them. Ithas a bit of heft to it. It's a great heavy duty chair. We use ours at our Mexico get away. For the folks though, it might be a bit too bulky. Hope this helps.

Yes you could but the chair is made for a small child and is very uncomfortable after 10 min of sitting

I think you would like the chair. Measurements from manufacture may be in your best interest. The chair is for lounging to be considered.

I think that this one may be a bad choice for you. It is very comfortable to sit in but my mother in law who has peripheral neuropathy has a hard time getting in and out of it. If you have someone to hold the chair steady and help you in and out of it, it may be okay but if you don't I wouldn't recommend it.

No I would not recommend this chair. as for ease its not the type you want it can be tricky to sit in and out.

I can't respond to what will happen over time because we recently purchased this chair for my mom. I can say that my mom loves it and from what I saw it was a great deal. The chair is nice looking and comfortable. I would recommend it.
