Great small wheelchair!
My mom needed a smaller, narrower wheelchair to fit throught the doors of their older home. This works perfectly. Probably not ideal for a larger person. She's 5'3 and about 120 lbs. It's lightweight and minimal assembly required. Rolls easily through the house and tight spaces. Very affordable as well! So glad we bought it.

What do people expect?
This is a very lightweight chair that would be used to transport your elderly to and from the doctor, or if you are going on a trip and your elderly can't do al the walking. I didn't buy it to be used and abused every day! It's VERY affordable to do the job it's intended for. My elderly weighs about 100 lbs. If you are very heavy, I am not sure how the chair will hold up, but its so light weight (great for storing) and so simple to use that for little use it's great. This is NOT a heavy duty wheelchair and the price reflects that. Heavy duty chairs will run you triple what this one costs. So be realistic about your needs and you will be satisfied. I could see my mom using this by herself to roll around her house when her legs won't work so well. :) I weigh 140 lbs. and I sat in it and felt very secure and the chair rolled very smoothly and easily. One downside is that it doesn't "lock" closed, so perhaps a bungee cord would be helpful...

Loved it! It was narrow enough for her to get in and out of the bathroom and bedrooms with no problem. She was thrilled with it. I added a plush, cozy cushion and it's very comfortable for her.

Atc transport wheelchair
Have the atc19 bl wheel chair less than 6 months and seat guide has broken. See on other reviews this is a common part to break. Only has a 60 day warranty and part is $32 for probably a 50cent plastic part. Not designed to hold up at all. Very disappointed

faulty parts
I bought this transport chair for my mom who is about 250lbs. Therefore, I was delighted to find a transport chair that came in a 19 inch seat and that was also lightweight. However, after only a couple of uses the back seat glide and the front seat glide broke. The are made of plastic and easily breaks. I would suggest metal glides instead. Very disappointed!!!! Unfortunately, I was not able to return.

DriveTransport Wheelchair
The transport wheelchair is a good chair but the measurements are not what is stated. It is about one inch smaller at the seat and width. My Mother is a petite woman and could not be comfortable because it was narrow. We returned the chair (free return via UPS) and bought the 19 inch wide which is actually 18 inches wide but just right for my petite Mom. I am happy with the quality and value. I made the mistake in trying to return it to the store but found I had to bring it to The UPS. Overall would give it four stars.

Fragile
When I tested this chair going over a hump backwards, I accidentally fell over backwards and both handles broke off cleanly between the latch and the handle tube. To prevent this from happening, lean forward when going over a hump backward, so that not all of your weight is on the rear wheels.

Bought transport chair for my mom 1 yr ago
Chair folds up nicely and is very lightweight. I'm a small person so I can lift this chair repeatedly in and out of the car when taking my mom shopping and to appointments. The downside is that the left footrest weld has broken and now we have no footrest on that side. The right footrest does not stay in the upward position when you fold it up. I expected for the price we paid that this would hold up much longer. Our previous transport chair lasted over eight years, it's a little heavier but it was obviously built better than this and was half the cost of this chair.
