Does this chair actually have a quick-release fold down back? And is it light enough for a woman to handle and load into a car?

Definitely light enough. Don't think the back of folds down. It's the handles that fold.

I don't remember a fold down back release, it accordians and squishes flat for storage. It is then easy to load into a car. The foot rests are best removed to assist in lifting it and storing it without them getting in the way

The back is something we never tried to fold down. The chair easily spread a open and closed though. It weighs 34 lbs and I can hoist it -- think of it this way, can you get a 40 pound suitcase into your car? If you answer "yes" then this chair is no problem. Take the footrest off -- they fall off anyway but are super easy to put in place.

The back does fold down and it depends on the woman I guess. My sister and I lift it a lot easier than a reg wheelchair. It's lot lighter than those. Hope this helps.

I am not aware of a fold down back, Im sure it doesnt have that. The leg supports come right off, I can place the chair ina trunk of an average car. It weighs about maybe 40 lbs. Its not too bad to lift. Nice chair, we have used it all year.

It does not have a quick-release fold down back. The best way is to stand in front of the chair and pull up the handle on the seat to fold it up. (Standing behind you get caught between the hand brakes.) And, yes it is light enough for a woman to handle and load into a car.

Yes, this chair folds down an sideways fits in trunk &backseat;, also a very comfortable ride ( almost like it has air in tires. I also order a 18" seat makes for a very comfortable fit. I love this chair!

No, it does not fold down. We use to bike and I would NOT recommend it. First of all the seat isn't as large as it looks and the back rest is way back and would not be good on a bike. I am thinking of making a small lumbar pillow, to fit lower, to support my back. I use it on a tricycle ! So no speed involved ! It works for me and my riding around camp sites when we camp !

i don't have the folded chair, but, with the back folded down, i believe it will fill into most mid size and even small cars; especially with the foot rests taken off.

i had to use the chair for several months following surgery. It does fold up easily and fits in the trund or the back seat of our car. The chair folds much better and easier if you remove the foot rests first. The chair with the footrests on weighs approximately 35 lbs. Hope this helps

It comes apart in two pieces and folds in 3 places. It's not a one-click fold, but can be compacted. The seat can snap off, the handle bars can lower, and the handle-grips can lower. It's very light weight as well.

No the chair basically fold in half. I can get it in the trunk of my 2013 Toyota Camray with no problem.

I would not say it is too heavy, but it is definitely heavier than a normal foldup chair. If you were going to take it hiking or for a day trip it could get pretty heavy over time. It does have two straps so you can use it like a backpack. I have been very happy with the two I bought they stand up well and are heavy duty.

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

Hi, Yes this is a quick release. The frame holding the Trolley Tote can be adjusted so it won't hit your butt. However, your seat height/angle may affect this adjustment. Enjoy...

I guess it depends on what kind of car you have. It is about the size of a pool lounge chair. It folds, but it is not compact.

It does not fold down, but I have no problems getting in my trunk as is. If you have a small trunk, there is a pin and the steering column slides right out easily.

It does weight @ 15-17#. However, the weight is not the only issue if you're in+out of cabs, cabbies can easily handle it + stash it in the trunk. The real issue is whether you need to fold it up or not , w/vans, miniSUVs you're OK; a full size car-probably OK, my Honda Civic-has to be folded into back seat. That handy basket + tray [that my Mom LOVES] have to come off in order to fold it. The bag is OK as long as it's not packed solid [like w/a purse]... Otherwise, this is a great little walker. Make sure you have the height adjusted correctly! The brakes are solid, but might be an issue if you have bad arthritis or other hand/shoulder problems. Hope this helps!

It's like a quick release on a bike tire! It doesn't collapse down as much as i thought it would. If you remove the seat, it will collapse down further, which is also a quick release lever. I have found that I don't need to collapse it down much as it fits in the back or trunk of most cars. It's very easy to collapse though. Hope that helps!

Yes it folds up and opens with one hand.It depends on arm strength to lift, but it isn't to heavy to lift to put into my car trunk.Good Luck

It DOES fold down and I can place it in the trunk of our Camry with no difficulty.
