Problems are:
1) I don't like the tilted back - it's more difficult to push when
tilted back a bit.
2) The back wheels are too far back, thereby requiring me to push in
shorter strokes and therefore more pushes just to get where I want to
go.
3) The footrests are two low down and can't be adjusted any further
to accomodate my short legs.
4) The armrests are not flip-back so I can't get closer to a table or
desk w/o completely removing the arms.
I could write more but I have to get out of here and go to work.
Later!

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:

Wheelchair/spec.cfm?productID=74650
Has anyone used either of these two chairs? What was your experience -
positive or negative?
Many thanks!
Kat
