Medline Durable Folding Steel Transport Wheelchair with Swing-Away Footrests, 19-Inch Seat Width, Black Frame, Black Upholstery

This was/is a perfect wheelchair for my elderly mother in law who suffered a stroke. My wife is usually the one with her when transporting her is needed, and she's a smaller woman...but the wheelchair is easy for her to handle...lightweight, folds easily, and is very solid/sturdy. This really is a great wheelchair. Not bulky/clumbsy. Comfortable. We did add an extra pad to put on the seat, which helps, but you don't really need to get one. We just went the extra step for our mom/comfort. But, yes...a great wheelchair. No regrets buying this item.

We purchased this for my dad to use on a cruise while he was waiting for knee surgery, and it exceeded our expectations in every way. The folding mechanism is smooth and intuitive - no wrestling with complicated latches or struggling to get it compact. This was crucial for navigating cruise ship logistics, getting through doorways, and storing it in our cabin. The weight is very manageable compared to other brands we considered, which made a huge difference when we needed to lift it or maneuver it ourselves. What really impressed us was how well it handled crowded spaces. The wheelchair moved effortlessly through busy ship corridors, dining areas, and tight elevator spaces without feeling bulky or unwieldy. The folding footrests were a thoughtful touch that made boarding and getting in/out of tight spaces much easier. For anyone needing a reliable, travel-friendly wheelchair for temporary use or vacation mobility, this is an excellent choice. It gave my dad the independence he needed to fully enjoy the cruise without compromising on portability or ease of use. Its comfortable enough for longer term uses but we didn't need to, but wouldn't have hesitated using it longer if needed and will keep it for future needs (hopefully won't need it though)

The major concern I had was whether I could safety navigate my dad through the house door jams and tight spaces without dinging up the walls. This wheelchair is perfect, light weight, and inexpensive. Good to go.

Very durable. Had a hard time opening it up until I discovered brakes had to be on. Ery sturdy and operated easily. I would definitely buy again

Since my mother had an unfortunate fall, her mobility has become inconvenient. In order to make it easier for my mother to travel, we began to look for a wheelchair that is both practical and portable. After many comparisons and considerations, we finally chose the Medline durable folding steel transport wheelchair with swinging footrests, 19-inch seat width, black frame and black decoration. After using it for a period of time, the wheelchair not only meets my mother's daily travel needs, but also brings great convenience when we take my mother out and even take a plane. The frame is made of sturdy steel, and there is no sign of looseness or damage even if it is folded and unfolded frequently. For people like my mother who need to rely on a wheelchair for a long time, a stable and reliable wheelchair is the cornerstone of travel. We don't have to worry about the wheelchair having problems during use, which makes my mother feel more at ease in her daily activities. Our family often needs to take my mother to the hospital for follow-up examinations, and a wheelchair that can be easily folded and carried is very important to us. This wheelchair is very simple to fold and is small in size, so it can be easily put into the trunk of the car. If you need to get on the plane, this wheelchair can pass directly without changing. The design of the swinging footrest is also very user-friendly. Sometimes mom needs to adjust her sitting position or put her feet up to rest. At this time, the footrest can be easily swung to the side without hindering her movements.

I ordered for my husband after ankle surgery and no weight bearing for 6 wks. My friend loaned us one just like it and it’s just perfect for him to move around our little house. Small but yet easy for me to load and unload in our truck and very sturdy!

Bought for my mother, was sturdy and worked well for her. Only needed it for 2 weeks.

Chair is not stable, has flipped backwards brakes inefficient, hard to maneuver. Is there an attachment that can be purchased to keep chair from fliping?
