[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was searching for a wheelchair for my father, someone recommended I look for one that was light weight. Getting the wheelchair in and out of the trunk of the car would have been a challenge if I had gotten a heavy chair. [/quote] This. I got a lightweight transport chair from Walmart.com for my dad. It weighs 14 lbs. You do not want a chair that weights like 30 or more lbs. It was maybe $120? This being said, a transport chair has small wheels and it was fine for getting him into dr offices, ect. but not for long distances. I used it at Disneyworld and, although he only weighed about 130 at the time, it about did me in pushing it (it was his last time ever to Disney and I'm so grateful for the memory even though it was exhausting!)
