Kat,

I use a power chair now, but used a manual for 25 years.  The last was a
Quickie 2HP, and I still use it from time to time when traveling to
friends and relatives with inaccessible houses (it's a lot easier to
haul a 35 pound manual chair up a flight of stairs than a 250 pound
power chair).  Mine has a one-arm drive attachment that adds between
five and seven pounds, so you could probably get away for less than 30
pounds.  Every time I've tried out a new chair (manual or power) I've
been able to "test drive" it or the same model, and then order one with
the necessary (or desired) options.

persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all
progress depends on the unreasonable man.

Thank you! I'll pour me a cuppa and sit back to surf. :)

Here are three chairs I would look at, Kat, if I was shopping for manual
folding chairs now.

I think these chairs are good for what you had in mind...  They are a  
bit
pricey, but you'll have that for the adjustability.
