The reclining wheelchair meets the
The reclining wheelchair meets the need of the person using it. It is a little more for the caregivers to fuss with when setting it up than with the regular chair they were using previously, but the fuss is worth the end result. The chair "just fits" into the back of their RAV4. They remove the foot/leg rests for it to fit well and also to lessen the weight when hefting it into/out of the car. There is a support bar across the back to be easily screwed into place and an extended back with headrest to put in place before using it in the reclining position. This with also putting the foot/leg rests on/off each time takes a little more time, but the user is much more comfortable with this chair, which is what counts. The chair can be used without the extended back and headrest, but that would only be for sitting up straight, not reclining. The chair was purchased online on a Monday holiday, so a 10% holiday discount was offered. The full 10% was not deducted from the order though, but when the company was contacted, they promptly refunded the difference to the customer's bank account. The chair arrived in 5 days - ordered on a Monday (a holiday) and received it on Saturday. So far, they are very pleased with the purchase. The price had already been reduced plus the 10% holiday discount, which equaled a very affordable product. The only slight problem experienced is a user problem. The user tends to want their feet closer together than the footrests allow, so they try to put their foot in the space between the footrests, which then has no support for that one foot. Perhaps the narrower chair should have been ordered (there were 3 different widths to choose from). Otherwise, this "problem" will be subject to a DIY solution.
