TLDR Review: Medline Ultra Lightweight Wheelchair

Yep, the Medline Ultra Lightweight Transport Wheelchair should fit in a car trunk without any issues.

It's designed to be super compact and easy to handle, which makes it pretty practical for travel. According to the manufacturer's description, it only weighs about 15 pounds, so lifting it in and out of the car shouldn't be too tough. Plus, it folds up nicely, so squeezing it into smaller spaces—like your trunk or back seat—isn't a problem.

From what we've found, folks who have used it often mention how portable it is. For example, someone shared that they had no trouble getting it into both their car and van when heading to the airport.

Just a heads-up: this chair is built to be pushed by someone else, not self-propelled. So it's got things like rear-wheel locking brakes for safety, which users seem to really appreciate. One person even mentioned that the brakes hold really well on their steep driveway.

So, if you're looking for a chair that's easy to transport and fits in a car trunk, the Medline Ultra Lightweight Transport Wheelchair seems like a pretty solid choice.

But if you need something you can move around on your own, you might want to look at chairs with larger back wheels and hand-rims.

The seat on the Medline Ultra Lightweight Transport Wheelchair is 19 inches wide. According to the manufacturer, this width is designed to offer a comfortable amount of space for most users while still being practical enough to navigate through doorways and tight spaces. It strikes a good balance for everyday use and longer periods of sitting.

Our research shows that people really appreciate this 19-inch width. They find it roomy but not so wide that it causes issues with maneuverability.

Also, the wheelchair itself is fairly lightweight at about 23.5 pounds, which makes it easier to lift and move around. Plus, features like detachable footrests add to its ease of use.

The manufacturer describes it as a good fit for both indoor and outdoor use, with comfortable armrests and sturdy rear wheels enhancing its functionality.

Overall, the Medline Ultra Lightweight Transport Wheelchair combines comfort, ease of use, and portability, making it a reliable option for many.

Yep, the Medline Ultra Lightweight Transport Wheelchair folds up pretty easily. The manufacturer says it has a simple, compact fold design that's perfect for storage and transport.

Our research backs this up—many folks find it easy to fold and stash in car trunks or back seats without much hassle. One person even mentioned that, at just 15 pounds, it's manageable even if you don't have a lot of strength. Plus, the folding mechanism is pretty intuitive and doesn't require any assembly.

Another cool feature is the swing-away footrests that lock in place, making the chair even more compact when folded. This detail also gets a thumbs up from several people who've used it.

So if you're looking for something portable for travel or just everyday use, this wheelchair seems to hit the mark.
