Comments about Sunrise Medical Quickie GP Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair:

This chair is a replacement for my old MR3 this is no where as good as the MR3 was, it is so heavy and difficult to pick up to load into my cars front seat, and also as mentioned so difficult to push, it is like pushing with the brakes on, also stiff to steer and turn, I am a wheelchair user for 35yrs and this is not a nice to use chair.
Comfortable to sit in is all I can say in its defense.

Comments about Sunrise Medical Quickie GP Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair:

I recently got this chair from my insurance, and though it is a good-quality wheelchair, I'd prefer one that is lighter. The GP model is very wide in the front, is heavier than most rigid-frame wheelchairs, and its hard to adjust the camber, back angle, and seat height. I also noticed that its hard to get 4" casters to work on this chair. It causes the front to become too heavy and makes pushing the chair hard, even if you adjust the axle.
On the plus side, the color is good and doesn't chip easily, its easy to clean, and its easy to find parts to fit this chair model at a hardware store.
