Does anyone know if the nylon seat is strong enough to carry around someone who weighs 230 lbs?

Amazon states 300 lbs. I can tell you that this would easily handle 230 lbs as I bought this for a relative who weighs approximately 250. That relative was very pleased with the good support in the seat as compared to the one this purchase was replacing. I hope this helps.

I would think so but I am not happy with the sturdiness of the entire frame. I do not transport very far and the person is not in the chair for any length of time so it serves its purpose.

It seems very sturdy. I weigh 210 and it doesn't now or flex. I think it could easily hold a person who weighs 350

I do not know what it is rated for, but my husband is 230 lbs and it holds him.

I weigh 265 pounds and have had no problems with this chair. It is very sturdy and folds for easy carrying and transportation.

Yes, it is sturdy enough for a temporary sit-down of an average weight & size person. It was not designed for that, though.

I am not sure I weight in around 230 pounds the one that came with my chair broke after about 6 years. I put this one on and it rocks. i do not think it will ever break. it is Fantastic. I love my chair and did not want to get a new one as I can not find the exact one anywhere.

No problem with mine, but the seat is not used often. I can't remember the weight limit, but I only weigh 170 lbs.

Yes, the seat is very sturdy for those in the higher weight limit range. Was easy to roll it to a parade site, & sitting on it for an hour was very comfortable. Fits under grocery shopping carts & can pop open for a quick rest when needed,

I'm 230 lbs and have no issue with it. Not sure of an actual limit, however.

YES! Mine is 28 lbs at 2.5 and this is the most secure seat we found. It can tighten in the back so it really fits snuggly and doesn't move around and it's not flimsy feeling. We have tried other seats but they never fit so snug. My daughter will only go on this one!

Not a problem - it's very well built. I'm just under 200 and I know it could handle someone much heavier.

I suggest you buy the larger, wider model. My husband weighed 230 lb. and has had no problem.

My husband and I are both under 200 pounds - our size is not an issue. I can tell you this is a really nice seat for the money, it is tufted but does have a lower back. We put it on our existing pedestal and it is beautiful. I would say the weight distribution would be a determining factor as to whether or not this person would be able to sit comfortably.

The chair has had no problems with a 230 lb man, that being said it is not a huge chair.

The seat is very sturdy and I know it holds 225 lbs. I think it should hold 275 but have not tried that much weight.

It seems pretty sturdy. 300 lbs would be fine I think. My boyfriend weighs 190 and it's fine for him. The seat is 20 inches wide. Any person wider won't fit.

I think they have mentioned it in the specification. I had a friend who is about 230lbs get on it and it was fine.
