Days Compact Lightweight Wheelchair for Adults, Folding Wheelchair - Purple

Excellent build quality. Used to take mother too hospital appointments etc. Very easy to push and steer, with lever positions at the back for your feet, to help rise the front wheels over small bumps and cerbs etc. NOT suitable for very large people well over 100KG. I fit in it snugly at 103KG (wide shoulders) but much bigger than that and I would be having trouble.The feet supports clip on/off very easily and swing out of the way to get someone sitting in the chair more easily. It has thin padding on the seat, so a thin cushion may be needed for some, otherwise it is comfy enough for casual use of limited time, say about 1 hour or so. Everyone is different so try this out for yourself.The brakes work well and are easily adjusted, with no spanner needed to put the chair together on arrival. A spanner is provided with the instructions, but it is an universal one and you would be better off with a cheap set of real spanners I think. The chair also folds up easily for putting in a car boot, but take the foot supports off first, as it is very difficult to put it in the car with the supports fitted. The boot of a 2005 Ford Focus is big enough to take the chair easily (without front supports fitted) but an earlier version of this car may have problems closing the boot lid, as the early versions had a boot several inches shorter than the 2005 model.Overall this chair is of high build quality, with the red version being about £30 more than the blue or chrome version for some reason. It does look nice though if you like dark red. I highly recommend this chair for people who fit in it, and for keeping in a car and using INSTEAD of those horrible hospital chairs, which go where THEY want to go, not where YOU want to go. You also don't need to hunt for a chair on arrival anywhere, if you carry your own in the car.

Completely new to wheelchairs but delighted with this one for the price and quality. Arrived in a sturdy box, all I had to do was clip on the footrests and it was good to go. Very comfortable (I happily used it as an extra chair in my mum’s care home room) and very manoeuvrable. Fits into a VW Polo boot and it’s quite easy to lift in / out as not too heavy. Delighted with this for the price and lovely to have a choice of colour too. No one actually ‘wants’ a wheelchair but this one doesn’t make it feel so bad!

This chair is brilliant - absolutely worth the money.FOLDING / SETTING UP - Incredibly easy to set up and fold away for transport, it literally involves clicking two little levers to fold the back down, then pushing the sides together - takes 10 seconds. To set up, push the sides apart and push the handles forward till they click - also takes ten seconds. I always thought wheelchairs were difficult to set up - not this one !SIZE AND WEIGHT - I bought the standard size - perfect for my mother, but would be too small for a large or heavy person (NB there is a larger size). Very sturdy frame. The seat and backrest are fabric (not rigid) but nice and strong, and my mother said the fabric seat was more comfortable than a rigid seat. I am a middle aged woman and I can lift this into the boot of my car without difficulty, but an elderly person might find it too heavy.FOOT RESTS - can be swung completely out of the way to make it easy to get in and out. Can also be removed very easily for transport (just click the little lever)BRAKES - cable brake like a bicycle brake so you can control the chair on slopes. You can also apply brakes in parking mode, if you want to let go of the chair - push the brake levers down firmly (NB they are very stiff to start with, first time I thought I was going to snap the levers but they soon loosened up). The brakes are pretty good - I tested them by parking the chair on a steep slope then getting in and outDELIVERY - the chair was delivered next day, despite being on standard 7 day delivery. I also contacted the seller to ask a question and they were very helpfulI would absolutely recommend this to anyone who wants an easy to transport chair. Five stars

I've been using this chair for my Mum (aged 97) for about 2 years now. She's mobile with a frame, but occasionally we have to deploy the chair in the house, and whenever we go out (hospital visits, into the garden, etc).Generally I've found the chair to be robust enough to be stable in use. The brakes are efficient, and it's easy enough to steer. Everything has worked as intended with a couple of minor niggles which I'll come to.It folds down by folding the foot rests back, closing the chair frame, and collapsing the back, for transport. It's light enough to lift in and out the back of a car. I think it would fit in the back of any hatchback car. I have a fairly large "estate style" car so difficult to comment on small hatchbacks (VW Polo and similar), but I wouldn't think there would be a major problem.Things you really need to consider.1. I'm fairly healthy and fit. You'd also need to be fairly capable to fold it up and lift it in and out of a car boot area. It's not that heavy, but neither is it super light, and I find it awkward, even when folded.2. It's not designed for someone to sit in all day. For occasional use, it's fine, but for someone who is wheelchair dependant, and spends a lot of time in their chair, you'd need to get proper advice from properly qualified physios or OTs.I have discovered a couple of small niggles.The brake cables stick out past the widest part of the chair (see attached photos). On two separate occasions the break cable has snagged a door handle inside the house. It appears to be just at the right height to catch them on the way past. I've had to use a cable tie to pull it in and keep it tight to the frame. I minor design flaw I think.The other niggle is the clip to secure the foot rest in place. The one on the right appears to be just too weak to click into position to secure the foot rest in place when deployed, and so requires a little push to correctly seat the clip and secure the footrest. On a couple of occasions the foot rest has not been secured, and Mum's foot has swung out to the side while using the chair, potentially causing a hazard that could lead to injury if the person pushing isn't watching to the front.Som a few minor issues to be aware of. None of them are deal breakers. Four out of five stars. Manufacturers should clip the break cables into place, and secure them to the frame. Also, ensure the springs on the foot rests are powerful enough to push the clips home to secure the footrests in position.Apart from that, nice chair, and does the job intended. I have attached photos of footrest clip and brake cable issues to illustrate my points.

I can recommend this wheelchair. We have had it for two months and it is well built and folds easily. Not as light as I had hoped but any lighter would mean it would be less robust.The brakes work well and the locking brakes (push the brakes down hard) work well even on slopes.We went for the British Racing Green colour and it looks good.My Wife is the one who sits in it and she feels comfortable and safe although we did buy a cushion to make it more comfy.

Totally over the moon with this wheelchair for my wife. It is a top quality item and so simple to operate, you could actually do it blindfolded. As I said the quality is second to none and the design is brilliant. Cannot say enough about this chair, have to give it10/10plus.

Great wheelchair. Quality item. Smooth ride, lightweight, lovely colour, supernatural delivery 😀

High quality, light weight, very useful for my mum.

Good price light and compact chair and contrary to other review does have brake lock on feature- just push brake handles downwards.
