The Journey So Lite is a folding manual wheelchair built around a very light frame, so it is easier to lift into a car trunk or carry up a few steps than most folding chairs. It has flat-free tires, flip-up armrests, quick-release rear wheels and swing-away footrests, plus anti-tippers and wheel locks. It suits part-time users and caregivers who need a chair that travels well, not a chair for all-day propulsion over rough ground. Against heavier hospital-style chairs it trades some padding and stability for portability.

Owners rate it highly, mostly for how little it weighs and how easily it folds and fits in a car. Complaints center on a light, less sturdy feel and limited comfort over long periods.
The Journey So Lite is a folding wheelchair built to be light. The frame weighs 16.5 lbs, which makes it easier to lift and take along. It has a padded seat cover that can be removed for cleaning.
Anti-tippers help prevent tipping over curbs, bumps or thresholds, and they can be quickly released and removed. Wheel locks hold the chair in place, and a dual-hand braking system lets a caregiver slow or stop the chair while pushing. The tires are flat-free, so they can't be punctured.
The armrests flip up to make transfers easier. The rear wheels are quick-release, and the footrests are quick-release, swing-away and removable.
