It is heavy and well made.Yes I can put a electric chair plus a wheel chair on it for my husband.Tiey it down well.Harbor fraight has them and they are very small and made cheap

It should hold a manual chair fine. I forgot what the weight limit is but I don't think you will have a problem with it

Yes, it would work, the only issue I had was it tilted upward and the ramp did not reach the ground on one side. We had to find someone to fill in the holes and re-drill them so everything would line up correctly. Hopefully they have fixed the problem and that I was the only one with a faulty carrier. To send it back was more expensive than to fix it ourselves. So we kept it. Now, we bought an actual trailer because of the weight of wheelchair. I would bottom out everywhere I turned. You might just want to buy a regular carrier with no ramp. If you're not gonna use it everyday. That would work for trips for coolers and extra stuff in Rubbermaid container's. It has a lip all around it for easier tie down with bungee cords, and you can buy those at Harbor freight company or and farm and fleet, menards. Then you wouldn't have to pay the shipping cost.

it can be used for anything that will fit, i.e. snowblowers, lawn clippings ect.

In my opinion, If your trunk is not deep then I would say no. It folds like any other carriage but it is wide. It just fit in my Dodge Charger. I hope this helps.

This carrier is WAY too flimsy for transporting an animal on public transportation. It's fine for your home. It's fine for transporting a dog to an obedience/agility trial; put it on a cart; you will not be able to carry it by the handle bcs it will too heavy with the pet inside. It probably is ok for transporting your pet in the car, but bungee it down for safety. I use mine for naps and overnights at home. mb

Hi Julia, I purchased one of these chairs a couple of months ago. My wife is 5ft1inch and weighs 115 lbs. She easily fits into the 16 wide chair and it has the advantage of passing through small door ways. The foot rests are adjustable to accommodate about any height so I don't think you will have an issue there either. The chair seems to be sturdy and not very heavy so one can easily lift in and out of a car trunk. If your daughter doen't need the leg supports to keep her legs horizontal you can remove the supports and make the unit a couple of lbs lighter. I hope this answers your questions. I consider it a excellent wheelchairand especially considering the economical price. Regards, Dennis

It is a lightweight transfer chair, but it does have an adjustable belt (plastic catch) which will retain the passenger. You could always replace this light restraint with a heavier belt, but if your traveler is a large person or someone who might have seizure disorder, I would take care to use this little chair for short, very well attended transfers. We purchased this chair to transport our daughter (who is 5 foot nothing and 100 lbs) back and forth from the restroom as her normal chair is quite massive and will not fit through the doorway.

If you secure the carrier properly it would be safe. You would have to use either the supplied bungee cords or buy some that you would feel provide better support.

I would say yes but weight should be considered. Provided the 1.25"is rated for the maximum weight of the carrier, there should be no issues. BTW, I love the carrier, have used it many times and it adds extra carrying capacity or keeps items away from the vehicle interior e.g. gas cans, brush, dirty items

Hi, this is a lightweight but well made carrier, I do not use it to carry my yorkie, but leave ir belted in to keep her restrained when I am driving in my car. If you are using it to carry your pet, I think a Sherpa brand airline bag may be a better bet, they are lightweight, and have a handle and a shoulder strap. I am very pleased with this purchase.

The realistic answer to this question is, it depends on you, to some extent. I found it easier to fold and set up than any wheelchair. It's about half the weight of the lightweight chairs. It's best used for someone who is moderately able to ambulate on his/her own, whereas someone using a wheelchair only needs to be able to sit upright. The long answer asks that you assess where you are at this point in your life. *How easily can you raise/lift/handle a 20+ weight that is awkwardly shaped? *Are you a 60 yr old helping someone who is 85? *Are you 75 and planning to handle this piece of equipment yourself? *Will you be putting this into a car/truck/van for use outside the home? In that case, check the height that you will need to lift the rollator, the space available against the dimension of this item, etc.

This chair will work just fine. I suggest that you get a firm pillow for the seat. It is very light and convenient to store in your trunk and closet.

I purchased it for my in laws. My father in law age 88 was needing it for transporting my mother in law. I had a similar unit for my parents. It is extremely light weight so unlike a wheel chair it can easily be put in the trunk or even folded into the backseat of a car. My mother in law only weighs about 110 lbs. Due to the size of the wheels, if you have a heavy person it may not push easily. Also, unlike a wheel chair, the person can not manipulate it themselves. I think it is great for short trips and so far it is holding up.

didn't work out well for us..wife couldn't assist..couldn't get the sliding seat far enough under the butt at the chair or seat end to do any good..better bet is the "ultra slick" 37" transfer board with a slippy pillow case under butt..better option yet is if she can assist enough with legs is to use a gait belt & do stand & pivot transfers or swing pivot transfers keeping the chair as close as possible to car seat..hope that helps

There are 2 small straps that are connected to the seat of the chair. When closed you can carry it by these 2 straps but it is very uncomfortable and will hurt your hand. It is not well thought out and I can guarantee you will not be happy with it.

We used seat on a trip to Florida. It worked well for the trip, is very lightweight and easily portable. I'm not sure I'd like to use it on a daily basis. It scooted around a bit on the chair it was attached to. It's great for travel, not sure about daily use.

This is not a folding chair. It is a wooden regular dining chair. It is sturdy can can hold some weight. but again NOT a folding chair

The chair folds easily. It is heavy to lift but sturdy so it should hold up well to being transported.
