I need one that folds so I can get it into my carrier at the top of the
car. Thanks for the suggestion, though!

Kathy, why don't you get a light weight rigid frame? They are very easy to
reconfigure and some of them only weigh 19 lbs. I am sure you'd get an easy
push out of them...

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:

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
