Would the rear wheels be big enough so that the person in the chair could wheel by themselves? If not, is it possible to attach bigger wheels?

As you can see in the product photo, this chair does have an outer hand ring attached to each rear wheel, designed for the chair occupant to use, if necessary. It's certainly possible, but given the chair's smaller size and light weight, I would suspect that wheeling one's self on a regular basis in this model could be tiring. Attaching larger wheels (back AND FRONT, to keep the chair level) would defeat the purpose of spending so much money on a lightweight, compact chair.

I know that the legs are ajustable but I think the adult size one would work better. You have to unlock the front wheels for them to swivel.

It could, if it was not on a carpeted floor and the person was quite small. There are no brakes on the wheels, and the mechanism is very smooth.

yes, but the person sitting in the chair will need a lot of room to be able to do that

Sorry but It can't. They may have a wheel that u can buy seperatly that would work tho. It's detachable

You can recline the chair about 30 degrees and yes you can still be wheeled around in that position. That is how I was able to put my wife in the van.

No. You have to install 2 of the wheels. Also be cautious when rolling the chair over large gaps in concrete. Because the wheels are smallish they can get stuck in the gap and stop the chair suddenly causing the person in the chair to be thrown out. Be sure to use the seat belt provided. Good luck

If you buy this chair, make sure you also get some of those heavy duty extra large wheels to replace the ones that come with it...especially if you are going to be on carpet without a mat under the chair. I have hovered around 350 the entire time I've used this chair, and the chair itself has held up well...the wheels on the other hand are unhappy with me :P I have owned it a little over a year now.

With the wheels it comes with it you really have to try a little harder. The answer is possible but but recommend at good quality.

I don't think so. I think it would be a little difficult securing the bottom without the wheels.

Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately we do not have any wheels made for this item so yes you would need to rig something yourself or yes, use a furniture dolly.

Yes. I believe it would be fine for her (My friend is 6ft & over 200 pounds). With the smaller wheels, I don't believe it would work very good outside.

The wheels can be taken off but the chair is not meant to sit on the legs. It would not be very sturdy, I believe and would possibly break the legs.

No wheels, but you could add them yourself. You would need to shorten the legs, or it would be too tall.

It has a seatbelt "keeper", so in theory, yes the child should be able to do it themselves. I am like the other parent that answered previously though, I err on the side of caution and buckle them myself whenever possible to make sure they are secure.

The wheels are built in so not really. Maybe set a plastic container on top of the lid as long as it isnt heavy.

Hi John, I concur with the previous answer to this question. I'm a large man - 200+ lbs. As I've said in an earlier review I've basically had to "re-build" the hardware on the chair - lift, wheels, etc. All that started with the wheels going kaput! I still have it, but only because I re-worked it! If I had it to do over, I wouldn't buy this chair for myself...
