Wheelchair 18" Lightweight Dual Axel w/Desk Arms

I bought this chair for my 17 year old daughter. She felt great to be in a chair that fit her. (smaller than the oversized chairs you might find at a supermarket.) The weight of the wheelchair was important for me, because I have to lift it into the back of my car. This chair is plenty sturdy enough, yet light enough for me to hoist without hurting myself. It moves very smoothly, and has been perfect for my daughter. You will want to purchase a bag for the back, so you can store little purchases or your purse in the bag while you push. There is only one drawback, and it may or may not matter to you. The footrests are entirely and easily removable, which is great - but they can not be extended, to put the feet up. This is not an issue for us, so we are well pleased with this chair. By the way, when you see someone in a wheel chair - smile at them. You would be amazed by how happy it makes them.
