   I used this to wheel my mom around London England and all through Scotland. 3 flights, 4 trains, MANY subway rides. Cobblestone, cracked pavement, it was difficult on gravel, but did everything else with ease! Be careful of catching front wheels in a crack in the road, if you are going quickly it will be a problem. I sent and shared this link with 3 airline employees who were so impressed with the ease of wheeling, quick and easy fold ability, and light weight. We had a lot of suitcases, and the size allowed us to squeeze it into the rental car! For the passenger – it is really important to remind them to turn to the side to get out. The arms swing right up but it is a movement they aren’t used to if they have been in a traditional wheelchair. The footrest is one solid piece and they should NOT step on that to get out. Other reviews mentioned that the brakes are not gradual – that is accurate. BUT they are really strong. We had some steep hills to wheel up, and I was able to safely engage the brake to allow myself to rest. It is super easy to engage and disengage the brake. Another reviewer mentioned issues with folding and the front wheels getting caught. We were soooo careful about this after reading that review, just tilted it forward when closing. But the one time the front wheel did swing back, it wouldn’t even continue closing. So maybe they fixed the design? And it folded so quick, and was light enough to carry up and down many flights of stairs. Also- it is only an 18 inch seat (our other chair is 20) but with the way the arms are more open it wasn’t a problem. I am such a review reader and careful purchaser, I received no compensation for this review, and I would recommend this wheelchair to anyone – for travel or everyday use!

   Pros:-Lightweight given how rigid the frame is. Very sturdy.-Build quality is good.-Brakes need some adjusting, but will lock wheels very securely.-Rolls with ease on smooth surfaces. Turns relatively well.-Folds up fast with locks.-Travel bag looks fine after 3 international flights.-Comes fully built.-Very compact.Cons:-Front wheel gets caught up really easily on changes in elevation. Even a short 1/2″ door threshold could cause the wheel chair to stop, and send the occupant forward. Always step on the rear to lift the front over bumps.-Not great wtih little gaps in the ground when turning. The front two wheels aren’t firm or rigid enough to hold direction. It will jam.-Front suspension doesn’t seem to do anything. If it absorbed shock it might help with the two issues above.-Pusher operated brakes are not mean to be progressive. Don’t expect to use partial pressure for down slopes. The wheels will lock up quickly.

   This chair is lightweight, unfolds super easily and quickly, and even comes with a cup holder. It’s really easy to use and feels sturdy enough for me as a 200 pound person to sit on. It’s really been thoughtfully designed and the duffel bag is a nice touch. I feel that the straps on the duffel bag could’ve been more comfortable or longer but it is extremely hard to find a wheelchair that is compact and under 20 pounds WITH a carrying handle that makes it a breeze to travel with! It’s just like walking around with a suitcase or stroller! Got this as a christmas gift for my grandma who suffers from POTS and dysautonomia and this is convenient for her to take with her to the grocery store when she needs a quick place to sit (does not come with ribbon lol)
