Drive Medical Cruiser III Light Weight Wheelchair with Flip Back Removable Arms, Adjustable Height Desk Arms, Swing Away Footrests, 20''

My wife needs a wheel chair when we are in places like museums and shopping, since she cannot walk very far, even with her walker. This really meets the need.This wheelchair is made of sturdy materials, so it is a full 36 pounds. However, the foot rests are easily removed, which makes it a lot easier to put into the back of the car. You could also take off the armrests, which would also reduce the weight a couple more pounds. However, unlike the footrests, the arms don't get in the way when you are lifting the chair.The armrests come off easily, so she can maneuver the chair herself, but it is really made for another person to push.When folding the chair, you just pull up on a couple of fabric straps and it folds up ready to store. It helps to lock the brakes first, so it is easier to pick it up without the wheels turning and interfering. Then the chair can be easily carried by the straps.It is a little more complicated to open, but the more I have done it, the easier it gets. Also, we have found that it is easier to put on the footrests after she has gotten into the chair. There is not a good latch for holding up the footplates, so sometimes they fall back into place before you are ready for them.The footrests and armrests are easily adjustable. Also, just the armrest can be removed, or the whole armrest and attached side panel can be removed.This has been comfortable for my wife for a couple of hours. It helps that she is able to get up and move to another chair and move around. Otherwise, she would probably like a cushion to make it more comfortable. Now we can relax in a museum or shopping, discuss what is happening, move at a pace that we both like, and not have to worry about my wife falling. Overall, this has been a really great addition to our accessibility arsenal.

I bought this for a 93 yr old in Assisted Living. He uses it to go to meals in his cafeteria. I bought a cushion to place on the seat. It is a good wheelchair. He had to get used to the straps at his heels and complained about them at first, but then got used to them. It wheels easily.

This chair weighs almost 50 lbs. either Drive medical did false advertising or Amazon. Do not buy thinking it weighs 8 lbs. I thought maybe it was made of strong durable metal or plastic to be so light. I am 70 years old and have to have a light weight chair for my daughter. Out right lies from this company

No problems encountered yet....(as this is my second Cruiser 3 I really don't expect any)....Good product and a quick delivery...Thanks, Jim

This chair does not fit in the interior doors in my home. It is wider than described and I can’t use it,

Indestructible. Miles of Va parking lots did no harm to it.

Bought this for my father who is 95. He really likes the extra width although he is not large at all. He also very much likes the arms that can be raised at the dinner table. This feature gets him much closer to the table than he did in his previous wheelchair. Seems to be built very well!

Took this on vacation, after a week it just has a lot of small problems it no longer opens up well so it makes it hard to get in it without help. Its arms have cracked. It is just not a good buy.
