## Description

Drive Medical Lightweight Expedition Transport Wheelchair with Hand Brakes : desertcart.co.uk: Health & Personal Care

Review: Muy funcional para mis papás. La silla es muy ligera, la diferencia con una normal es bastante, tiene frenos y un par de agarraderas para cargar con las manos. También trae una correa larga para colgar al hombro. Si hace una diferencia
Review: Great for use to transport my Mom to Medical appointments. I highly recommend it. This chair is sturdy, easy to manuver with Mom in it, and is worth a few dollars more than cheaper chairs. I bought this to replace a transport chair I bought earlier this year (in January). I didn't do a lot of research at the time since I needed the chair ASAP. Features to consider if you are looking for a transport chair: - Rear wheels - this one has 12 inch wheels vs the 8 in wheels on the other one making it easier to maneuver than the other one. The smaller wheels on the other one would also get caught in the cracks (between bricks) at the doctor's office. No problem with this one getting caught and me worrying about dumping Mom from the chair as I fight to get it loose. - Locking brakes - this one has locking hand brakes instead of having to push a lever on the wheels to lock the wheels. - Easy to fold and put in car trunk. (The first one was as well.) - Light weight and easy for me to handle. This one is about 19 lbs vs 15 on the first chair. The extra 4 lbs is not significant. If I had done more research, I would have bought this one to start with - as of the date of posting this review, both this chair and the one I bought originally are the same price. Not sure what the price of this one was when I bought the other one in January but it's a no brainer at the same price. Even if it were an extra $40-50 or more, this one is well worth the extra cost.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What shade of blue is the blue model? Navy, light, dark, bright?**
A: Ours is Navy blue, quite dark.  We have also added a wheelchair cushion makes it more comfy.

**Q: en que material esta**
A: Alunio. El tamańo ideal para transportarlo en carro (auto-coche). Muy practico.

**Q: How wide is the whole chair.  The available space for my mother to move dad into the bathroom is just 21 inches so I need to know if this will fit.**
A: it's close as it's 20-1/2" outside armrest to outside arm rest. If you have possibly a 2nd bathroom you could take the door off as I did for clearance. That gives you roughly another 1-3/8". I bought a shower rod, rings and used a cheap shower curtain to act as a replacement door. My bathroom was laid out so that was possible and with a towel bar close I just used a bungee cord to hold the curtain back. I also bought a 60" door jam protector, cut them in half so I had 2 30" pairs and used 1 pair to protect the jams. I have used them for a year and still have the 2nd set to use if the get damaged bad. Hope some of this has given you some Ideas.

**Q: What are the dimensions of the chair when it is fully folded?**
A: 29" H   7"W  24"L
As I've said in previous posts, this is an awesome chair.  I've had mine a few months now.  My wife has no problem lifting it (even with one hand) and putting it in the car.
A LOT lighter than a full size wheelchair. Great buy!!

Lightweight, foldable and sturdy. What more could you ask for in a transport chair? Purchased for my elderly mom who found it comfortable. Price was very competitive.
