For 2 days I tried to get around. I even used my rolling office chair in the house, but I couldn't take it to appointments. My foot was getting worse and I needed mobility. I am a very frequent Amazon shopper and noticed this wheelchair...
The price couldn't be more reasonable for what you get. It came assembled, with the only attachment being the foot rests, which are very easy and takes seconds to put on and take off.
* There is an Allen wrench that comes with it for any adjustments needed*
I was thrilled to get into my new chair!! This is an amazing product! I am so glad I got it. It was very easy to maneuver. It went over the carpet easily. The front wheels constantly turn, so sometimes it won't go forward because the wheels are sideways, but it is easy to shift to get them going again.
I love that the foot rests can swing to the side to get out of the chair easily. Another smart feature are the arm rests that can be flipped to the back for lower tables.
I have narrow halls and doorways and this baby can turn on a dime once you learn to control it. It has really made a huge difference for me helping me to be mobile with minimal weight bearing on my broken foot.
I took it for a small test run at the grocery store. My friend was able to fold the chair and place it in the car with no problems.
*** It does weigh 40+ pounds. This is the only con and question it being "light weight" but I am sure other wheelchairs weigh far more***
With that being said, she easily pushed me inside the store and then I took it from there.
I don't have a lot of strength, since I never moved a wheelchair on my own, but I got around pretty well and kept up my friend and her shopping cart. :). It made a huge difference with so much more room to maneuver!! I was so happy to be mobile after breaking my foot and out of the house.
I will say the chair is low and I am 5'5" so the mid height shelves weren't accessible. I also can't reach my sinks and the fridge is tricky. But I can do so much more than trying to balance on my foot.
I have seen the orthopedic clinic and now have an aircast. This sucker is heavy and hard to walk with. My blue streak continues to save the day. I go to my medical appointments muc easier. I couldn't even imagine trying to hobble to the car, drive, hobble across the parking lot and walk all over the building, just to do it again when I left!!
I get medical transport. They pick me up. Fold my chair and off we go. Sometimes I push myself and sometimes I get assistance, with the blue streak both is easily possible.
I will say if you sit for long periods, get a nice cushion, because the chair material is like a director's chair. This is what makes it possible to fold up and travel easily. It also has a nice Velcro pouch in back to carry your papers or other things. All the levers for the brakes and foot rests and arm rest as very easy to work; there is no force necessary.
I cannot say enough about this chair! I would recommend it to anyone and I have! I would say if you need a versatile, affordable, well made wheelchair, that is portable and easy to use - you cannot go wrong with the blue streak! I thank God I got this wheelchair!! Thank you Amazon and Drive Medical for making this injury and the struggles that I am going through because of it, easier on me. It is worth every penny!!
The size is perfect, allowing for easy movement through my 36” doorways. It would be easy enough even with 32” doors, I think, but I’m not great at steering just yet. The 16” seat on this one works well for me, size 10-12 in clothing and a bit larger in the hip and thigh. Sometimes the wheel rubs against the plastic side panel due to my girth, but a readjustment solves the problem. I wish the plastic panel was a little more firm, but it works for me…a person with larger hips and thighs might want to consider the 18” or 20” model.
It has a very solid build and rolls smoothly. I got a small hanging bag to hold my phone and other needs, but it interferes with the wheel and handholds…I have a clip-on stroller/wheelchair cup and phone holder on the way today, which I think will be a much better option. I can’t yet speak to longevity, but we have a smaller Drive model chair (on four small wheels) that has endured a lot of family use, including a trip to Disney World with my daughter and her broken toe, that is still going strong and getting passed around the fam. I feel very good about the brand, and I think this chair will be another one that gets lots of use in the future.
Upon delivery, the chair is fully assembled, other than the leg rests which are easy to install with no tools necessary. The chair arrived without the elevated leg rests, unfortunately, so I immediately went to the link on the product page to ask about getting them sent. I was assured they would ship in 2-4 days, but two days later, they were on the porch via FedEx. EXCELLENT customer service, there. The calf rest is not adjustable, but it’s perfectly comfortable for me, 5’4” tall with average length legs. The length is adjustable, but even on the most extended setting, it’s not quite long enough for me to keep the footrest in place…I have to fold back the foot rest to use it in elevated position, as I am not supposed to have any pressure on the leg for quite a few weeks to come. The foot rests will be perfect when I can finally bend my knee and lower the legs, so this shortcoming doesn’t really matter to me. (Pics show only one leg rest attached, but there are two.)
This is an all-around solid choice, and it’s just so affordable that any detractions are just not important enough to worry about. I am thrilled with this chair, and grateful to have something to allow me some mobility.
