I love that the product is light weight, folds nicely, and stores in it's own bag. These are great features and make it useful for traveling.

It is difficult to manuever if you have to go over uneven surfaces - feels like it may tip. The canvas arm rests are fairly comfortable once seated, but are not good if the person using the chair relies on the arm rests for support when getting in and out of the chair. And it's a hassle that the handles have to detach in order to fit the chair into it's carrying case. I'm always worried I'm going to loose the handles!

This chair works best for those short trips to the bank or shopping when you don't have space for a large wheelchair, or don't want to deal with lifting a heavy chair. For that reason, I'm going to check off that I would reccommend this chair, but their are certainly better constructed traveling wheelchairs available at this web site that we have gone on to purchase, while still using this one for short trips!

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

This is a great lightweight transport chair for light use, but does not wear well with heavy use. We use the chair to transport my mother every day, and after a year we are getting ready to buy a better constructed model. The foot pedals became loose with wear and do not stay in the fold up position to allow easy entry and exit from the chair. The front of the arm connection is held by friction into the front post of the chair and those have worn to the point that they flop out when the chair is folded or unfolded.
We found it useful to place a pillow on the chair to give more comfort to my mom and to raise her posture. For the short term or with light use it would be a very good chair.

It is easy to transport. Took it to downtown Chicago with me. My mother was very comfortable and it rolls easily, until I got to a bump in the sidewalk and my mother almost flew out of the chair.

Now that I'm ambulatory, this is my insurance policy. I keep it in the trunk of my car -- wirh room left over.

This is a lightweight, easy to store transport chair requiring someone to push the occupant. It alternatively has served as a walker. The one very minor annoyance is that the handles are separate and can get lost at the bottom of the carry bag.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

easy to fold and store, great for travel. only problem is brake tends to engage on wheels and make manuevering difficult (i.e. backing up while in a store).

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

Useful for shopping trips because lightweight and easy storage in trunk.
Very useful in airport
It would be great with larger wheels.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

This chair is made like many of the now-available-everywhere folding chairs you take on picnics. Except it's got the wheels, leg holders, breaks, and push handles in the back. Nicely made. However, being rated for 225 lbs and getting an averaged-size person in the chair are incompatible. The rigid bars that attach to the armrest prevented me from being able to sit in the chair. I had several other people try. Two people on the thin and skinny side (115 and 120lbs) could get in the chair but both thought it was a tight fit across their legs. So, despite reading all the favorable the reviews, it never occured to me that I would not fit in the chair. Seems most suitable for a child or a very tiny adult. I found only the one-size chair with no mention of small, medium or large. [...]Marketing and sales info should be revised to save you from purchasing if your legs are too big to get thru the side polls.

Excellent on all counts.

This chair has made a wonderful difference in the abililty to manuever my father. My mother, and the caregivers who help her, have all praised how easy it is to use. One caregiver actually is ordering one to make it easier to attend to some of her clients. We found out about transport chairs from a friend. We're glad we followed up and made the decision to try yours.

I took the wheelchair on a recent trip across the United States. It was great to have it at my disposal whenever needed as it was so portable and easy to keep handy.

This product is useless. Waste of money. Front wheels cracked within 10 days of usage [...]. Waste product.

We use this chair for both mothers. It can be popped in the trunk and folds out in a jiffy. My mom spent 4 hours in the chair when we took her to the fair, if it hadn't been for the convenience she would not have been able to attend and enjoy the fair. I've had several people stop to ask where we had purchased the chair.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

It is scary at times because there is nothing for me to hold onto, other than that I do like the chair.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

We really like the chair but we would like it more if the chairs arms were more rigid. The person who is using this chair is not very strong and has a hard time getting in and out because she does not feel safe using the arms for help.

Thanks for the portability.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

Can now take a transport chair and still have room in the car. Also, great on trips -- can take on plane as overhead carry-on.
Do wish it had peddle in back to raise front wheels for curbs. Also, a little unstable if the passenger leans forward and pusher doesn't hold onto handles.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

My grandson broke his leg, he had a cast up to his hip, so we needed something we could handle as we cared for him over the summer. This item was perfect, except that because of the light weight, when he leaned forward, he found himself on the floor because the chair shot out from under him.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

The only good thing is the compactness of this product and I really don't like being so negative about it, but I must be. The first time my mother tried to get up from the chair, it went forward and dumped her on the parking lot. I find the only way to keep that from happening is to bear down heavily on the back of the chair while she stands up. Even with the brakes on, I still must do this. Any small bump in the sidewalk and she will again be dumped. It's impossible to use the chair on anything other than a smooth flat surface. Over the lawn? No. It's very dangerous there. For [$] I didn't expect the best wheelchair around. I just wanted a safe one.

The carrying case should be a little bit roomier.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

We used this chair for a woman that can walk, but we were going to altitude and wondered how she would do. She really needed the chair. The only complaint would be if I had to go over a grove in pavement, I had to turn around backwards. If I did not I felt like I would spill the rider out forward.

I take care of my elderly Mother and I myself have a bad back, this chair is a perfect size and is easy to transport.

I used this transport chair for my mother during a recent vacation. It was wonderful at the airport as well a[$]aneuver and bring aboard the airplane. It folds and fits easily into a small stateroom.

Comments about Invacare Supply Group Fold 'N Away 16 lb. Transport Chair In A Bag:

I have a standard Invacare wheelchair but this chair is more useful indoors and in tight spots like not so handicapped accessible bathrooms!

I don't go anywhere without both chairs!

My only warning is that a patient/user must be careful that the chair doesn't collapse if used inappropriately due to lack of balance or strength in transferring the patient.

Mom goes on our annual cruise with us. She enjoys the time with the children and grandchildren. Our shore excursions would have been too much for Mom to walk so that she could be with us. With her "chair" she was able to go everywhere and do everything we did. What a blessing!! Thank you for making our vacations even better since Mom can enjoy them with us. She had a tough life and it is fantastic to be able to do this for her.

For people whose helpers are not big and strong, this is an ideal chair. It's light, easy to set up, stores easily in its handy bag. I keep mine in the car for emergencies now that I don't need full-time wheelchair assistance. It's my insurance policy. And the price was excellent.
