Excursion 12+AB Lightweight Portable Wheelchair for Adults and Seniors – Ergonomic Lumbar Support, Adjustable Footrests, Supports 300 lbs; 18" Seat (12" Rear Wheels)

I purchased this particular chair because of the ergonomic design and German engineering that seemed would significantly increase ease of use and comfort. My 89-year-old mother took to it right away and finds it very comfortable. She is quite mobile still, using a Walker - but for the days where we must traverse long corridors of doctor and hospital complexes, or can’t park close to our destination - it has been very very useful and easy to fold up, unfold, maneuver, and it is light to load and unload from a trunk/hatch back.I have sat in the chair and also find it pretty comfortable.If she ever needs a more robust chair with the larger wheels, this company will be my first choice for an upgrade.I will say, with use, there are some components getting loose - but I’m sure a wrench can fix that up - when I get around to that part of my to-do list.Overall, extremely pleased with the product - as is a woman who is not pleased by much these days!Thank you for creating a product that is so comfortable for the disabled/elder, easy for the caregiver to lift and maneuver, appears to be well-made and sturdy, and has a stylish design (comparatively).

This chair is very thoughtfully designed to provide comfort and safety for the user. It has a uniquely designed frame that is curved and provides excellent back support. Most chairs require that the occupant sit with back and legs at a 90 degree angle which is fatiguing. For those with neurological conditions that cause rigidity, it is difficult to safely transition into standard wheel chairs without sliding out. This chair solves that problem.The other great features include: 1 ) light weight for easy loading into car and easy effort for caregiver to push, 2) maneuverability, 3) curved arms that are comfortable and allow the chair to slide under a chair or table, 4) easy to use footrests that may be moved into and out of use with little effort, 5) wheels that go over bumps and thresholds without difficulty.We did encounter a problem within the first 2 days of using the chair. The brake on one side would not release and we could not fix it following the manual provided. I contacted Strongback Mobility and with the help of Leta the Operations Manager we were able to determine that the problem was a lose set screw where the brake attached to the chair frame. I was able to tighten the screw with the allen wrench that came with the chair in less than a minute and we have been rolling along happily since.The only other thing that we have encountered is that if you bump the chair against a door frame it is possible to knock the hubcaps off. They are easy to pop back on but watch out or you may leave them behind in a doctor's office.We bought 2 of these chairs, one for home and one for the car. They have been a great and have made caring for my husband much less stressful and much safer. I recommend the chair and also that you carry the tool kit provided with you just in case something gets loose.

We previously used a higher-end "medical grade" chair for years but it finally wore out. The problem was that the old chair was very heavy and was hard to fold, especially for my wife.This chair, however, is light, easy to fold up and put in the car. The smaller wheels can be challenging on less-than-perfect city streets, and the handle design is poor for long days pushing it. The hand brakes also have sharp edges that tend to catch your hands when pushing uphills or rougher terrain. I'll probably just file these down a bit. Overall, though, it is a good product.

My mom has been in a wheelchair for 6+ years and we’ve tried numerous versions. This is by far the best. Light enough for me to load & unload, comfortable for her & very sturdy. The brakes are a little tricky but once you figure them out, it’s easy. She can’t lock & unlock them from the chairs but that’s not really an issue for us.

The chair is how it was presented; lightweight, easy to handle, comfortable. I look forward to taking my 94-year-old mother more places.

I got this for my mum. She does not need a wheelchair for everyday stuff, but we like to go for walks. She will walk as far as she can and then she sets in the chair and I push her while I do my speed walk. She says it is very comfortable. I got it specifically so we could go walk at the dog park with our dogs. So it works on the gravel surface well. However it is not so great on the dirt paths with ruts. But I would probably need something with bigger tires for that. As a whole we love it. It is light weight and it works well on surfaces that are a little bumpy.

Arrived w wheel brake falling off. I sent message thru Amazon - never got reply several months- then couldn’t return to Amazon. Contacted mfg on web. Applied to get repaired - they don’t repair or allow return. Would send me replacement brake after I make complicated application requiring 10 images from all angles. After more months received a brake that did not fit. Used 5 times with 1 brake though not safe. Then that brake fell off too. Cannot use at all now. . Useless but expensive. Waste of money! And absolutely no customer service! You are dealing with a company in Germany with 1 woman who answered phone in USA from home but cannot help you. Don’t buy and if you must, don’t buy through Amazon. I should have sent it back right away but Amazon suggested to contact manufacturer. Bad idea NEVER responded.

This is an excellent product! It’s sturdy, easy to assemble, lightweight and comfortable. It’s also extremely easy to push with my 195lb husband in it. I’m a 68 yr old, out of shape, female and find it very easy to put in the trunk and to take it out.It took me a long time to find the perfect chair and this is it! I highly recommend!
