Drive MedicalSSP118FA-SF Silver Sport 1 Folding Transport Wheelchair with Full Arms and Removable Swing-Away Footrest, Black

My daughter had surgery for peroneal tendon subluxation, and is unable to be weight bearing for a minimum of 6-8 weeks. If you've ever had to use crutches for an extended period of time, then you know of the pain and discomfort that comes with using them ALL day. Crutches really hurt for long distances, and are very slow. They also aren't always stable it the ground is wet, uneven, or limited space. Having this chair has allowed us to shop, go to the farmers market, go on walks, not have to worry about parking far away etc. This really is a great chair. It is very sturdy and comfortable. It does take up a fair amount of trunk space, but it fits in my Honda civic and is easy enough to get it in and out. The foot rests come off and on very easily. I like that my daughter can wheel herself in it, in addition to being pushed. She is tall (5'10, and about 160 lbs) and finds it to be very comfortable, easy to get in and out of, and not too narrow (of course she is young, flexible, has good upper arm strength and the use of one good leg). I can't accurately say how this would feel for someone with multiple mobility issues or who is confined to it for very long and extended periods of time, but I will say that she sat in it for a 3+ hours straight at a ballet and felt fine. For us, who will be using it temporarily, it has been well worth it. Renting a wheelchair for 6 weeks would have cost at least the same if not more than buying this wheelchair, and now we have it if we ever need it again. Her best friend's grandma will be having knee surgery soon and we will lend it to them. Also, depending on you injury, you can buy the other type of foot/leg rest that extends for this model, which is fantastic. We have been using this wheelchair as needed now for over a month, I can say it has definitely been worth it for us. AND, you could always donate it once you no longer need it which is a nice thing to do. It would have not cost you more than a short term rental would have, and you could help someone else in need who might not have otherwise been able to afford the expense of a rental for themselves. win win

Recently fractured my tibial plateau, was put in full metal leg brace from ankle to mid- thigh with no bend. Was told I could absolutely not put any weight on leg for 4-6 weeks. Tried using crutches and that was not working for me. Took a chance and ordered this chair, it was a God-sent. It’s easy to use on hard floors and carpet (takes a little more effort but not bad at all). Was assembled in less than 20 minutes with ease. Very sturdy and comfortable. I’m about 5’8, 215 pounds and it’s just the right size. Folds up easily for car travel and the breaks hold it very steady for getting in and out. Fits through all my standard doorways (bedroom and bathroom)and I can turn direction very easily. Am now confident I can follow doctor’s orders and keep the weight off my leg.

The media could not be loaded. I can't believe this wheelchair is so nice and sturdy,it's a steal for the price I paid,I'm very very pleased,I would give this 10 🌟 if there was such a thing,I was kinda thinking I would be sorry I bought this for the price but as I surprised...WOW, it may be a little heavy for an older person but I bought it for my son,love love ❤️ it..I'm stoked

This wheelchair is a great buy!! It has become a lifesaver for us, allowing me to participate in family days out and trekking through airports (my bucket list travel) while recovering from major surgery and in the midst of heavy chemotherapy. It folds up nicely to store in the trunk of our car. It’s easy to set up for use - 10 seconds or less.

Got this chair for my mom that has a serious lower back and spine problem, she can walk for too long so even going grocery shopping is a pain, but she says she hates wheelchairs because they are big, bulky , ugly and “unattractive” lol so I made sure I got the complete opposite with this chair!It has a very wonderful curve appeal, it docent look ugly or like a hospital chair! It’s super light weight , easy to get on and off her car and carry up stairs. Folds like a dream!! You can drive this thing any direction. Almost feels like you are floating in mid air! But the thing I loved the most is, you can fold the feet rest, and handles to make it more compact and fit in a car and still have Plenty of space!My mom says she is very comfortable in the chair , even with her bad back, she says she sits comfortably even with no Cushion back support! The chair is compact enough to fit through narrow parts of the house like the bathroom or hallway.Over all , listed for $150 original price and ended up paying $72 from the Amazon warehouse deals because the only problem is , one of the wheels is broken from the rim . Dose not effect the functionality what so ever so my mom said it was perfectly fine for the discounted price!Over all, I got a total steal , my mom is very happy with it as well so I would say even go for it for full price! It totally worth it!

I bought this wheelchair for a disabled senior. I love the fact that is is light and easy to push. The patient is only 5.4 and 115 lbs. The only drawback is that it is pretty narrow. Not a problem with the person I purchased it for. She fits well. If you have a larger patient they may not fit. I have a old house and the hallways are narrow. This wheelchair can pass without any difficulty. I am happy with this purchase. It seems sturdy and it is easy to place in the back seat of my car. I would recommend this wheelchair.

Recently my mom has had issues with mobility, and has also gone to a nursing home. I work in the mobility industry and have a strong understanding of what is needed the most at any given time. I knew that my mom was having problems walking so I decided to get her a lightweight chair that my sister can easily cart in and out of her vehicle.This chair allows my mom to go with my sister and to go out for meals and things like that.
