Find Best Price at Amazon"About three years ago, my mom bought me a Drive transport chair for what we thought was just a lingering, but short-term problem. My shoulders are still on again/off again, but I am *tired* of *just* a transport chair and want to be able to move around on my own if I decide to wander off - and doing that easily isn't possible in a transport. I checked out standard manual chairs at a medical supply store near the main hospital here, and found one that converts from manual to transport (also made by Drive), but this one actually makes more sense for me, and I'll tell you why. I've also included some pictures that may help you: PRICE & AVAILABILITY: The "transformer" chair (changes from transport to manual) costs around $700 locally. FEATURES I LOVE: ~I love, love, love the fact that I can push a button and lift the armrests and put them behind me so I can roll under a table more easily. Consider that when you pack things into the pocket, because if you have a backpack, it may bounce into your back, and you don't want a bunch of awkward things in that pocket because it'll be uncomfortable. It can't get whole lot lighter than that for a chair like this. When I put the armrests back down, I have to fidget with the cushion. I think most seat cushions will be a tight fit so if you're buying this as a new chair, you'll want to check the seat cushion you have or are planning to buy. The reason this is an issue is that the back of the top part of the seat fabric hits my back (I'm 5 foot, one inch) at a different height than the transport, and if the O2 backpack straps slide toward me, it makes for an uncomfortable ride. ~The handlebars do not come out as far as the ones on the transport chair. It's not an issue for the people who push me, but if you hang a lot of stuff on the back of your chair, you might find that the straps start to dig into your back. OVERALL: I really do like this chair. If I could afford to shell out the $2K for this one Smart Chair - Electric WheelchairSmart Chair - Electric Wheelchair, I would, but I can't."
"However, when mine arrived, the paint was scarred and scratched and the screw holding one of the arm latches was bent. If Drive Medical reads this, I have a suggestion... Don't just put the footrests inside without covering them so they will not scratch and dent the paint and bend other functional parts."
"After about six hours my knees were aching like crazy, even though the foot supports were only about one inch off from what I needed. I had an easy time on short, Berber-style carpeting inside of shops, but bogged down a bit on anything deeper. The swing-back arms are a nice help for getting under lower restaurant tables, but stick out a bit too much for crowded rooms. I'm thinking to take red ribbons to tie on them next time so that they're a bit more visible in a packed cafe. A homemade seat cushion, a pair of gloves, a backpack, and a cargo net have all been added. (I found that the low and wide Lilly Bloom style with the outside pockets on either end fits like it was specifically designed for it!). The chair came with a tiny adjustment tool, but the bolts on the brakes are so locked into place that none of the dozens of people who've tried have been able to turn them at all."
"This chair rolled 15ft before the right front wheel BROKE OFF (see photos) dumping my wife forward on the ground!!!"

"I am completely convinced that cushion is a must for anyone who needs additional support in their office chair, car, or any seat lacking comfort."
"Very nice that they stand behind their product!"
"I have had very significant discomfort for the past 7 years when sitting due to spinal stenosis and was hopeful this cushion would help (along with the epidurals etc). **Delivery was quick. **Cushion seems strong and well made. **Very comfortable to sit on (when well supported). **Company contacts you and seems to really stand behind their product. **I would buy this cushion again."
"I am a large person, and when I recently took a fall and compressed three of my vertebra I knew I was going to need some kind of cushion to sit on."
"The cushion is for my husband who had spinal surgery a few months ago."
"After a full day of sitting on the cushion I was much more comfortable by the end of the day."
"I sit better, I'm more comfortable and it has definitely helped my back problems."

SO on the rear of the scooter is the red lever for FREEWHEEL or DRIVE position. The ride is solid and great on good surfaces, it maneuvers reasonably on rough areas, but not recommended for an extended period of time."
"Even with my back trouble and terrible knee pain."
"It was easy to assemble, charged fast, and I was driving it the same day it arrived."
"It was use a magic kingdom and it was recharged as preventive action during a time of snack (turkey leg) for maybe 20 min. Fit a Corolla 2005 sedan trunk, easy to put apart and together, it is not heavy, seat is in leather and the small basket is great to carry personal items."
"I carried my Garmin portable GPS and it registered top a speed of 5.8 MPH. THIS IS A VERY GOOD BASIC SCOOTER AND IT WILL TAKE MOST ACCESSORIES, i.e. REAR BASKET.CUP HOLDER ETC."
"The first day of the delivery window, 6/5, The seller, Phillips Medical, contacted me by phone to tell me that the original scooter had been misplaced by the shipper. I plugged the battery in immediately for the 4 to 6 hour original charge and started the assembly. If I decide to further upgrade to the 21 amp battery which would increase the range from 9 to 15 miles, I will certainly contact Phillips Medical to do that."
"The only issue we experienced was the plastic mounting bracket for the basket arrived broken."
"I love this scooter."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It is absolutely perfect. PLEASE read the description carefully before buying this as your one-and-only walker if you need a walker 100% of the time and plan on using it 16 hours a day. It's the kind of walker you may want to buy if you have older relatives so you can keep it at your house for them (kind of like keeping a baby carseat for the grandchildren). By the way, I really wanted to shop locally, but the medical supply company rep told me that Amazon's price was very good. The rep was not familiar with this walker, but told me that he thought it really looked perfect for what we needed."
"Ordered a 2nd one with the sole idea of pulling off the front wheel legs to put on the back of the walker which I never tried! I am an amputee (full left prosthetic leg) an need it for stability and safety if I am out shopping."
"We just taped the leg in place and it is okay."
"It easily becomes narrower for doorways and folds to a very manageable size for the theater, restaurants, car travel, etc."
"The directions on the slides they say are for this walker "there are two tabs that connect the Skid to the walker leg tube. The front and back tabs have a recess area between the tabs and the walker leg tube.""
"This walker is very sturdy but easy to fold and use."
"This summer I bought this for my mom taking my father on those doctor visits."
"bought this walker for a family member who has a big-clunky walker and needed one that would be easier to use "on the road.""

"Light & practical, easily fits in trunk, does NOT mark floors, easily (e.g., carrying 140-lbs) navigates sidewalks & parking lots."
"The actual weight of the chair is great as I can lift it easily if I want to take it in the car."
"After injuring my back lifting his wheelchair into my van, I decided to go to a lighter option."
"If you are familiar with the locking breaks on the rolling walkers, the breaks on this product lock the same way."
"My spouse who is unwell weighs about 125 lbs and this chair is the right size for him."
"Pretty nice & easy to travel with."
"The other problem, and this is a deal breaker, is that the lever that is depressed to fold down the seat back, on the left, was initially hard to depress. I was able to get it to depress a couple of times but it was pretty hard to do. I was trying to fold up the chair to get it into the van, after my husband's PT appointment and the lever broke completely off when I tried to depress it."

Update 1: The pocket is too small and it makes the button push able with a bit of difficulty to extend or shorten the bar at night, maybe that is on purpose.This is a nice unit. I recommend the whole thingSo it is down to two stars for a short fitting pocket and broken all plastic adjustment, buckle that must be tightened down hard, and, has a lot of pressure on it."
"He just scoots down past the rail when he wants to get out of bed instead of lowering it, so I can't speak to the functionality of lowering and raising it."
"Same product at the medical supply store near me was twice the cost."
"This was purchased for my 84 year old mother who shattered her wrist recently in a fall."
"Sturdy."
"On the bar to which the knobs are attached, there is a pin. If one twists the knob while pulling it out, they could inadvertently lock the assembly in the open position."
"Very well built, very sturdy, but needs a quick release button to remove the pivoting guard."
