   I purchased this particular chair because of the ergonomic design and German engineering that seemed would significantly increase ease of use and comfort. My 89-year-old mother took to it right away and finds it very comfortable. She is quite mobile still, using a Walker – but for the days where we must traverse long corridors of doctor and hospital complexes, or can’t park close to our destination – it has been very very useful and easy to fold up, unfold, maneuver, and it is light to load and unload from a trunk/hatch back.I have sat in the chair and also find it pretty comfortable.If she ever needs a more robust chair with the larger wheels, this company will be my first choice for an upgrade.I will say, with use, there are some components getting loose – but I’m sure a wrench can fix that up – when I get around to that part of my to-do list.Overall, extremely pleased with the product – as is a woman who is not pleased by much these days!Thank you for creating a product that is so comfortable for the disabled/elder, easy for the caregiver to lift and maneuver, appears to be well-made and sturdy, and has a stylish design (comparatively).

   This chair is very thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and safety for the user. It has a uniquely designed frame that is curved and provides excellent back support. Most chairs require that the occupant sit with back and legs at a 90 degree angle which is fatiguing. For those with neurological conditions that cause rigidity, it is difficult to safely transition into standard wheel chairs without sliding out. This chair solves that problem.The other great features include: 1 ) light weight for easy loading into car and easy effort for caregiver to push, 2) maneuverability, 3) curved arms that are comfortable and allow the chair to slide under a chair or table, 4) easy to use footrests that may be moved into and out of use with little effort, 5) wheels that go over bumps and thresholds without difficulty.We did encounter a problem within the first 2 days of using the chair. The brake on one side would not release and we could not fix it following the manual provided. I contacted Strongback Mobility and with the help of Leta the Operations Manager we were able to determine that the problem was a lose set screw where the brake attached to the chair frame. I was able to tighten the screw with the allen wrench that came with the chair in less than a minute and we have been rolling along happily since.The only other thing that we have encountered is that if you bump the chair against a door frame it is possible to knock the hubcaps off. They are easy to pop back on but watch out or you may leave them behind in a doctor’s office.We bought 2 of these chairs, one for home and one for the car. They have been a great and have made caring for my husband much less stressful and much safer. I recommend the chair and also that you carry the tool kit provided with you just in case something gets loose.

   My mother in law 100 years + with dementia loves the chair so much, she’ll get straight out of the car even for doctors appointments to get into it. Great for her posture – In every other chair, even the fancy ones, she slumps. We can fold it up for road trips, wheel it around even long distances without impinging my low back and hip issues. We would buy it again without hesitation – fantastic quality and worth every penny.
