Karman Healthcare S-115 Ergonomic Ultra Lightweight Manual Wheelchair, Rose Red, 18 Inches Seat Width

Ultra light weight says it all!

Perfect wheelchair - works well and very comfortable and lightweight.

I like a lot of qualities about this chair. I've had it about a month. I'm an average height and weight 5'5", 130 lbs and am having a few serious concerns with the safety of this chair. 1) when I lean forward to move the footrests, it tips forward onto the foot rests, I actually fell out of it (hence my height and weight to give you an idea). 2) the front wheels will not easily go over a bump, so I get thrown forward, even as little as a 1" lip in cutout curbs. A brick sidewalk with a few holes, all dangerous. The companion pusher tries to push harder to make the front wheels go over the bump and it won't, only throwing me forward more. We then have to back over or they push on one of the bars on the back which only lifts one wheel, then they have to either lift the other wheel over or push on the other side bar. Thresholds are also an example of a problem where the front wheels will not just roll over. It's not only annoying over time but dangerous. I've looked for replacement wheels and don't find any for this model. I'm looking into a seatbelt but still will be a nuisance if we are out and about for a day with multiple bumps or thresholds to deal with.

I am a 77-year-old male weighing 220 lbs. and 5’10”. I have osteo-arthritis and stenosis of the lower spine. I can stand for short periods of time and walk slowly for short distances with the use of a cane. I live independently and can manage most household chores. I have fallen a few times.I love walking. For the last several years I have rented wheelchairs to allow me more mobility when I travel or visit museums, street fairs, and neighborhood walking-tours, etc.My condition is degenerative, but I still want to do as much as i can for as long as I can. So, I decided to buy my own wheelchair.I found the options overwhelming and did many hours of online research. Eventually I found this chair which seemed to meet all my requirements for size, weight, appearance, durability, etc. and ordered it.Unpacking and set-up were a breeze. The only help I needed was to remove it from the box. This chair exceeded all my expectations. I ordered a seat cushion more to raise the height than for comfort, although the chair itself is high enough. I was also concerned about the width because my desk chair is a little wider. This chair turns out to be perfectly comfortable. I also ordered a bag for additional storage although it comes with a small bag. I was undecided about anti-tippers and have since them so I can feel more secure.While this chair was a little above my budget, I am glad I chose it, for its overall style, comfort, and weight and quality. I recommend this chair without reservation.

I have had 5 wheelchairs that have ranged in price from about $200 to well over $1000, and this is by far the nicest. It is built well, has large and very comfortable armrests, and is just great looking !!! The very best features are that it is about 3" narrower than my previous chairs (less damage to walls and door frames) and it is 14 lbs lighter than my last chair. I love it !!! The only thing I would note for others considering it is that is 19" high to the seat, rather than the more standard 18". Because of this, I could not use my beautiful 3" thick Jay gel cushion, and had to order a more basic 2" contoured foam cushion.
