Can the user push this chair themselves?

No. It is a transport chair, so a caregiver pushes it. The small rear wheels are not made for self-propelling.

How much does it weigh and how much can it hold?

It weighs 14.5 lbs without riggings and has a 300 lb weight capacity.

Will it fit in a car trunk?

Yes. It folds to 9 inches wide and the back folds down, so it fits in most trunks and back seats.

How does it handle sidewalks and curbs?

It rolls well on smooth, paved surfaces. Owners report the 6-inch front casters catch on cracks and uneven sidewalks, so lift the front over bumps.

What comes in the box?

The chair, swing-away footrests, seatbelt and backrest carry pocket. The footrests attach without tools.
