I’ve been using this chair for about a month and am so grateful for it. My mom needs something to help her get around when she needs to leave the house and travel for longer distances than she can comfortably walk. I was initially worried that the seat area might be too small or feel too tight for my mom, who was about 200 lbs, but there are no problems with that at all. Someone in another review suggested getting a seat pad to make the seat more comfortable, and I 100% agree. It greatly adds to the comfort of the chair because I didn’t find it too comfortable without the pad.What I love about the chair is how lightweight and compact it is. When my mom needs to take a cab or get a ride in a car, the leg attachments come on and off very easily, the chair folds easily, the push handles also fold down to give it a smaller profile for stowing, and the chair is so lightweight that it’s easy to put in and out of a trunk or to carry up and down stairs. The locking mechanism is easy to access and is secure. Unlike a regular wheelchair, this transport chair is intended to be pushed by someone, not for the person seated to be able to push themselves, but I do wish there was a way that the seated person could have access to a/the locking mechanism so they could lock or unlock the chair themselves if necessary. My mom once used to the chair to scoot herself around the kitchen in order to cook and it was tricky for her to stand up and sit down with ease because she couldn’t access the brakes herself from a seated position and the brakes should be on as a person sits and gets up.Overall, I am thrilled with this chair and highly recommend it. The big wheels create a smooth ride and the material of the wheels allow me to kinda easily slide my mom over in the chair when on a smooth surface and I need more room to navigate in a small space. Highly recommended.

For a transportation wheelchair, I really like that it is easy to collapse and then set up. I purchased this so I could take my husband to the doctors office or go shopping or what ever I need to do and take him with me. Since I am very much a senior, I needed something that I could lift into the car or truck easily and this fits the bill. He say its comfortable so I guess it is. I think for the price point it is a very good deal.

Made the right choice. Meets our needs & then some! First, I have to give props to JDCSupplies. We purchased it on a Saturday & I emailed them with an inquiry that evening. I was Pleasantly pleased when one of their employees Responded by the very next morning, Sunday!! I was Concerned & confused by the description being “blue” but the photo showed a burgandy one, which we wanted. He replied, “Hello, Looks like the chair is blue, but we can switch it no problems. Thank you. Joe Jdcsupplies CustomerCare Rep.”So then I responded, “THANK YOU JOE!!! You Just Made Mine & My Husband’s Day!! 😀 😀 I am IMPRESSED with Your response time & attention, also that I now the Peace of mind to not worry about When I am going to get a response AND to know JDC Supplies is based on ‘Customer Service!’ I will be Definitely making a point to go onto Galenus Medical, your website, once we get our chair, to let EVERYONE know this too!!! Well done Joe… Well done JDC!! We know WHO we will go to for Any future purchases of medical equipment, and we will Definitely refer our family & friends. Plus, I am on Facebook with just under 300 FB family & friends, I’ll also be posting a Link to JDC Supplies for people to “Share” on their walls too!!! I know this all sounds a bit, ‘overwhelming’ … but, when someone has shown us such Good deeds.. we believe people Need to ‘take the time’ to praise them. More people are too busy making sure they complain about, sometimes ridiculous things..they need to also make sure they take the time to, as I mention, praise. So with that, I Will follow through. We look forward to receiving our chair…we are in dire need for making travel to doctor appointments, & even a treat to dinner, Out, for my Parents & my Mother in law. It’ll be a Blessing for them & Us too. Thank you again for your exemplary customer service, we Do appreciate. Sincerely, Bill & Evie F.”The chair is well made, sturdy & a nice looking chair aesthetically. By simply unlatching the rails that support the back support, you can fold it back. Then, easily pulling up on the seat, the chair automatically retracts to a narrow width. The footrests are easily removable too and you can remove them or leave them on Even when you ‘shrink it’ down for storage or travel. I have had 5 lower back procedures, so safety in lifting if important. It’s Lightweight & not awkward to pick up & put into the back of my car. I have a little Ford C-Max, (small/mid sized crossover), with the capability to fold down the back seat(s) for larger storage. I was Very Thrilled when I loaded it into the back storage section of my vehicle WITHOUT having to fold the seats down, which I needed for passengers! And, what I also discovered, I could leave the footrests ON too & still have enough room to put a duffle bag & my Dad’s walker on top of it!!One of the things that drew us to it too, were the larger wheels in the back. Makes for a smoother ride for your passenger & better capabilities over your terrain, concrete, asphalt, dirt, etc.We are Very pleased with our purchase, including the competitive pricing. Thank You JDCSupplies.. I Will make future purchases with confidence, should we have the need with your company & recommend all at the same time.Sincerely,Evie & Bill F.
