Days Escape Wheelchair, Lite Aluminium, Lightweight with Folding Frame, Mobility Aids, Comfortable Travel Chair with Removable Footrests, Standard, Green

I purchased Days Escape Wheelchair, Lite Aluminium, Lightweight with Folding Frame, Mobility Aids, Comfortable Travel Chair with Removable Footrests and received a wrong one, however, seller quickly responded and arranged the swap. The right wheelchair arrived very quickly (before the wrong was picked up), however it was missing seatbelt. Again seller responded quickly and apologised as no seatbelt was in stock and offered me partial refund instead, which was okay and I purchased the seatbelt seperately on amazon. The wheelchair is very light, steady and it fits in my car as it is foldable. Will do the job and I recommend it! Great product!

This chair is brilliant - absolutely worth the money.FOLDING / SETTING UP - Incredibly easy to set up and fold away for transport, it literally involves clicking two little levers to fold the back down, then pushing the sides together - takes 10 seconds. To set up, push the sides apart and push the handles forward till they click - also takes ten seconds. I always thought wheelchairs were difficult to set up - not this one !SIZE AND WEIGHT - I bought the standard size - perfect for my mother, but would be too small for a large or heavy person (NB there is a larger size). Very sturdy frame. The seat and backrest are fabric (not rigid) but nice and strong, and my mother said the fabric seat was more comfortable than a rigid seat. I am a middle aged woman and I can lift this into the boot of my car without difficulty, but an elderly person might find it too heavy.FOOT RESTS - can be swung completely out of the way to make it easy to get in and out. Can also be removed very easily for transport (just click the little lever)BRAKES - cable brake like a bicycle brake so you can control the chair on slopes. You can also apply brakes in parking mode, if you want to let go of the chair - push the brake levers down firmly (NB they are very stiff to start with, first time I thought I was going to snap the levers but they soon loosened up). The brakes are pretty good - I tested them by parking the chair on a steep slope then getting in and outDELIVERY - the chair was delivered next day, despite being on standard 7 day delivery. I also contacted the seller to ask a question and they were very helpfulI would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants an easy to transport chair. Five stars

We bought one of these to help get Mum out and about following a fall in which she fractured her femur. At 91, recovery has obviously been slow and despite making good progress she was unsteady on her feet. We wanted her to be able to get out and about not just to a hospital appointment! This well-designed chair is absolutely perfect for the job. the backrest drops down, you lift the two handles either side of the seat and It folds away in seconds. It is sturdy and very well made yet being made of aluminium, it is light enough to be lifted in and out of the car boot without requiring you to be built like Arnie Schwarzenegger. It comes with removable footrests which are easy to operate and importantly – really secure hand-operated brakes to immobilise the chair when mum gets in and out. Incidentally, one reviewer says that you have to hold the brakes on all the time by hand. That's NOT the case; you can apply and lock the brake on, then let go in order to assist the person in and out of the chair. Mum is a slim person, not overweight, so we went for "standard & narrow" and she says the seat is comfortable and the right size for her, which makes her feel secure when she sits in it, rather than sliding about. Overall we are delighted and it has really lifted mum's mood, especially now lockdown restrictions mean we can take her out to more places.

Easy to build out of the box.Agree with a couple of comments about how it would be good to be able to lock the footrests in place cos otherwise they can easily fall out when you take it in and out of your boot. But that's not a deal breaer and might be a selling point to someone who wants a quick disassembly for transport.It took me a long time to choose this wheelchair and I nearly paid more because the reviews were so damning but Im really glad I didnt as this is absolutely fine for the short hops I do with dad to doctor's, hospital, etc.One other minor criticism is the brakes take a little bit of force to push down into lock mode. No problem for me but if you were frail or had arthritis maybe a problem.A word of warning too: the footplates on mine came pre-adjusted for someone with very short legs. So unless your wheelchair passenger happens to have very short legs, I'd urge you to use the spanners that come with this to extend the length of the footplate arms. Otherwise you might end up having to force your passengers kegs up into a very uncomfortable position.Not super duper light but lighter than our last one. Obviously lighter still if you remove the footplates. My dad's on the fat/large bottomed size(size 46 waist trousers and this is fine for him to sit in. Like all these type wheelchairs, the plastic front wheels dont offer much by way of cushioning blows from hard bumps but that seems to be par for the course unless you pay a load of money or get one with the big wheels.Other than that seems pretty good build quality, and easy to unfold/fold with nice levers. Just remember to take those footplates off first or you'll get a big clang when you lift it into your boot as they come falling off.Fits easily into the boot of my Volkswagen Bora 2003 saloon. with a bit of room left for shopping to the side or on top. Complemented it with a square memory foam cushion to give him a more comfortable ride.Overall though I'm very happy with this for the money. Would buy again.

Great little wheelchair, lightweight but sturdily built, easy to fold and take off pedals, thick cushioning rear wheels and comfy to sit in albeit slightly narrower than our heavier wheelchair. Bear in mind if Amazon says Next Day delivery it's not- it took 8 days to arrive via DPD.
