Hey, y'all -

I'd like to bend the ear of you manual wheelchair  users.  I am in  
the market for a new chair.  My brother-in-law was so kind and tried  
to help me by buying me a Guardian Escort chair which has turned out  
to be a rather hard chair to use.  The basic problem is, it seems to  
be a chair designed more for someone to push a person in it, rather  
than for the user to push himself.  The back wheels are too far back  
and the back is angled backwards which drives me crazy.

I loved my B-I-L and he's a real sweetheart and I hate to disappoint  
him but I need to find something else and I see two chairs that are  
possibilities at spinlife.com:

	http://www.spinlife.com/Sunrise-/-Quickie-Breezy-Ultra-4-Lightweight- 
Wheelchair/spec.cfm?productID=74650

Has anyone  used either of these two chairs?  What was your  
experience - positive or negative?

Many thanks!

Kat
