Medline Lightweight Foldable Transport Wheelchair with Handbrakes and 12-Inch Wheels, Red Frame, Black Upholstery

When it comes to being a Care Giver, anything that will make my life easier in regards to providing the proper care for my mom is certainly welcomed! With that said, this is my unpaid experience with this awesome little chair!I purchased it in 2018 and after 7 years of continual use... it is still fabulous! This chair has had its fair share of trips to and from various Doctor's offices, Stores, Shopping Outings, Restaurants, etc. From day one I have been very pleased with this chair's build quality, functionality and it's light weight. My mom is 88 years old and she weighs about 169 pounds. I have had no problems getting her in and out of this chair, even with her Dementia. I can't say enough about how convenient it is for me in regards to this chair being able to fold up in seconds and easily be put in the back of my SUV. This chair still functions as new and I have never had any issues whatsoever with it! I highly recommend this chair to anyone who is looking for an affordable chair that has stood the test of time and to me worth every penny that I paid for it! Some I see have said it feels cheap... I have never though that about this chair in any way... it just feels light to me which is great!!!!!. I hope this true testimony will help someone in their purchasing decision.. Have A Blessed Day!

We had been using a Medline model intended more for indoor use to transport my wife from the car to a doctor appointment, etc, and it was clearly too hard on that chair at times with only 8" wheels. I wanted one with larger wheels and this one looked like the perfect choice. Comes fully assembled except for the footrests which we don't use anyway. Brakes were adjusted correctly out of the box, all I had to do was take it out of the carton and cut off all the tags. A little heavier than the indoor chair but it should also be more robust overall.

We bought this chair to take my 77 year old mother with mobility issues to Scotland with us. This is the best purchase I could have ever made! This chair is light, folds up pretty flat (take the foot rests off- it's very easy to do), is durable, and gets over most terrain with no problem. This chair made this special trip possible!

Everything is mostly identical except the elevating leg rests did not have the push in snap pin system for extending the leg length as shown in the ad image. The version we got was a black pipe (not silver) fitted inside the blue one and you have to loosen a bolt and pull the footrest part out then re-tighten the bolt back in place. It makes the version we got harder to adjust and the black pipe could stand to be a bit longer for longer legged people who need to elevate their legs. The box was beat up to all hell, but the chair was otherwise in new condition minus a few loose bolts that had to be tightened. The "drive" stickers that were placed on the outer sides of the thin plastic armrest panels were peeling off (curling away from the plastic) which was fine I just took them off and tossed them. One of the elevating leg rests didn't want to go back down because the bolt was somewhat loose, which caused the bar to stay extended and the lever couldn't be pushed to get the mechanism to release. Thankfully loosening the bolt more made it so we could get the mechanism to unlock, push the leg back down in place and tighten the end bolt back in place. Otherwise it is exactly as ordered, funnily enough the item was ordered from home depot, as there was an invoice slip on the box.Had I known that home depot had these I would have ordered directly from them. Initially I placed an order from amazon and it was to be shipped from amazon directly and was cheaper but there was no shipping date. I called after 2 days of not having a shipping date to ask about the shipping as we needed the chair quickly. after speaking with a csr i was told I would hear something about the shipping in 48 hours. The next day I went to check on it and found the order had been canceled with no notice no reason nothing. This was the 20 inch one we ordered and there were no other quick options so after getting frustrated after talking with another csr who was not able to help me get it reordered from amazon and give me a date for arrival, I reordered on my own and chose the other shipper and paid 40 bucks more plus paid for shipping etc. it was a nightmare process and took over a week to get in addition to the 3 days of dealing with amazon. I am only adding the shipping info for others in case another family / person needs a chair in a hurry so you'll be aware of what we went through.It seems like a very sturdy chair and everything else was perfect, we only just got it so I'll give it a while and add to my review once we see how well it does for us. Overall I have faith in the drive brand, a bit frustrated by the difference in the elevating leg rests and the not quite long enough bar for the footrests when the legs are fully raised, but we can work around that. Otherwise I think it'll do us fine. Its a bit clunky and heavy for me I'm 4'10 so when I have to lift it into my truck for use in getting my Dad to his doctors it will be a momentary issue but I think considering what it does, how it is made, the ease of moving the parts, it'll likely do us fine. One thing to mention is that the armrest release is just a piece of plastic. I can see how long term that might prove to be annoying if someone moves those armrests a lot that thin piece of plastic won't likely last a long time or will wear down over time.** Update Aug 2023The chair was working well for us, Dad doesn't use it often due to his doing better, but it is very helpful for when he has to go long distances, or needs to have a seat anywhere we go if he gets tired. However, somehow on one use, a super tiny clip that held one of the leg rests together disappeared. I suspect from moving the chair and rests to and from the truck. I called Drive directly, and they sent us 2 brand new leg rests free of charge. I was grateful because that tiny little thin metal clip held the whole dang thing together and I was using electrical tape to hold it together but that made it's use much more difficult. I am SO totally impressed with Drive Medical for sending the free pair of leg replacements, they were caring, wanted to know what model it was for future chair updates and got me a new set of leg rests within 3 days. I'm updating my review from 4 stars to 5, their customer service was amazing and the new set of leg rests were also the type I had originally ordered with the push button adjustments, so that makes me very happy. I can't say enough good things about Drive after this experience, the man I spoke with was just amazing.

Fantastic value!! This chair arrives fully assembled and ready to use. Soooo easy to figure out how the footrests and handles fold!! Chair is a breeze to fold and is very compact, so it will easily fit in the back seat of even a small car or a small trunk. Lightweight, too!! Very easy to push and steers easily. Brakes are easy to apply and to lock and unlock. Got this to transport my 91-year-old mother when traveling. Light enough that my 93-year-old father can lift it into their car if need be. I highly recommend this chair!!! It is a very nice and a great value!!!

Spouse was in rehab, and needed a wheelchair. The rehab refused to issue her a prescription for a wheel chair, so I came to amazon.com in my time of need, and I was not let down. This wheelchair is a patient transport chair, and fits through our non-ada bathroom doorjambs, and it is great. Easy to put together, and right out of the box, within 3 minutes I had all the accompanying parts placed on the chair. Foot rests, seat belt, brakes, wheels. I am glad to have this for her in the house. I was so happy with this patient transport chair, I also used amazon.com for her very own wheel chair, with wheels she can control on her own.

My mom had an older transport cart for years that serviced its purpose but not conveniently nor comfortably. This one is great! It rolls so smoothly and it’s easy to fold and lift into my car. Plus she can sit in it for a longer span of time without being miserable
