We want to be sure we can use a transfer board from a power wheelchair with lift capabilities over the 24" wheel of the Commode chair and back?

I transferred from the shower chair to the hi-lo bed without a problem. I don't use a transfer board, but if you go from a higher position to a lower position it should work. The wheels are near the seat height and behind the angle of transfer. The arm lifts well out of the way. The seat is about 24" high so one would need to measure the power chair seat height to see if you can make it lower or higher during the transfer, depending on the direction ( shower chair to wheelchair or wheelchair to shower chair).

my son has the commode and shower chair in Sacramento CA., so cannot answer any questions.

Yes and no. The foot rests can be removed so if the person wanted to, I suppose they could propel themselves with one leg? The problem would be steering and locking the brakes. This is a transport chair and not a standard wheelchair. Notice how much smaller the wheels are in the photo. It would be impossible for the user to lock the brakes themselves. It's a top notch choice as long as you have someone to do the pushing. I hope this helps.

There is a screw-hole in the clic-gear unit that the umbrella holder threads into. So the holder would only work with a wheelchair if the wheelchair had the proper size screw fitting

I bought one also for a heigt of two feet. It works but is a little steep for a wheelchair. I would recommend a longer one if you have the room for it.

If you mean one of those extra-wide wheelchairs, probably not. The straps won't read around anything wider than a standard chair.

I don't think so....at least I didn't buy and use mine with that in mind...but I don't think it was engineered to fit over the commode. I do think however there are a number of toilet seats that are meant to fit on or over. After I wrote the above answer I noticed another reviewer wrote the following: A bit pricey, I think, but it fulfilled all my needs. I picked this model, not because of my weight [140#], but to have a wider base to use with a sliding board. I'm a double-leg amputee. Actually, I no longer use it as a portable pot. It is now without pot, and placed over the head [toilet] for direct use. It, and the Slider Board, gives me more freedom,, and my wife much less work. So perhaps it can be used over the toilet. I would think though that you might need to have a good size commode and maybe have to remove the toilet seat but it appears that the above reviewer is doing what you wish already. I in particular bought it to use with a transfer board from a wheel chair, and the wheel chair wouldn't fit into the bathroom so I had to use it as a bedside unit until my 3 months of being non weight bearing was over with.

My dad sits in his wheelchair when he uses the cycle. I believe any chair would be fine. I would recommend that you have the cycle on a surface that keeps it from sliding.

Probably not. I wouldn't use it in this way - but then I wouldn't try to do that with a wheelchair!!!

I have one with an 18" seat. Will fit tightly thru a 30" door in wheelchair mode, in transport mode, no problems

I haven't tried it but I can't imagine that they would work. The connection spots have to be parallel and I would think the wheel on the wheelchair would be out too far.

Not a very sturdy chair, I wouldn't recommend putting on back wheels to go over six inch lip with a person in it. It definitely wont roll right over any lip higher than a 1/4 inch with a person in it. I would look into a transfer bench for a high tub or high lipped showers which the person will need to transfer to then lift there legs in the tub.

It's smaller and easier to manage than a wheelchair. It's probably 30 lbs, and as wide as the seat of a car.

Worked fine for our family need of a lightweight wheelchair and I am a physical therapist so I hope that helps

Sure you can, if your legs reach the floor and you use your feet to 'walk' along. As you can imagine not a great wheelchair alternative for anything other than short distances. However it works fine to sit in and have your caregiver push you with the handles. I do this with my lady friend all the time.

I am not familiar with the configuration of the electric wheelchair, therefor I feel not qualified to answer your question. Both items are rather inexpensive and returnable. I would recommend you just try them.

I would say it would be tricky. We have tried transfers in our van from passenger front seat to driver's front seat, and the board wants to rise up on the end without weight. As my transferee is pretty heavy and has little upper body strength, we have abandoned that approach. I believe the transferee needs to have the ability to shimmy from one side to the other to effectively transfer using the board safely. That is my take anyway. Hope it is useful
