Recommendations for lightweight foldable wheel chair 🤔

Horse and carriage maybe? 😉🤔😘😁xx

LindaB Morning. I was given an electric and manual wheelchair by the NHS. The electric one wouldn’t fit through the internal doors down stairs and the manual one was far far too heavy for my wife to push let alone fold up and put in the car. Bless them. The NHS do so many good things and then……..

Anyway the manual one went back and I bought a lightweight one called a G-Logic from Lightweight Wheelchairs. See https://www.lightweight-wheelchairs....gaAphAEALw_wcB

I find it excellent to use around the house, if folds up easily and the wheels just ‘pop’ on and off to make it even smaller. Remember as well you don’t pay VAT.

Sad to say but with my Bulbar I am going to loose my arms before my legs. Good init! 😁😅🤗😍xx

Thing is higher the vehicle higher getting wheel chair in and out.

Many SUVs have tailgates which open fully to floor level, whilst many saloon cars have lips into the boot over which you'd have to lift the wheelchair, so there may not be a height difference.

Another thing is hes not getting in a wheelchair.

Well, if that's his final answer you'll know where you stand, cars may become a moot point...

Hugs 🤗🤗 😘

Cars are so low down that even i have problems getting out - practically climb out on my hands and knees.

Take a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Crhd5kNX3w0. 😂

Exactly. That was me. Could I get out of my sons car? So embarrassing.

[denise]

The car was parked so my door was near the middle of the road. Unfortunately the road has quite a drop on the kerb side. I pushed the door open with my hand but I couldn't push it far enough so I had to kick it out with both feet. My worry was I'd fall backwards and just my feet would be sticking out and I wouldn't be able to get upright. Would anyone come to my rescue? My days of rolling about in the back seat are obviously not over 😂🤣😅

Stephen has finally admitted a chair might be a good idea and have contacted a stairlift company. Linda let me know how you get on and how long you have to wait for delivery and who you ordered from. I'd really appreciate it.

Ta very much XXXX
