What makes this one "Deluxe"? vs the other Medline Chairs with 12" rear wheels??

Gosh, I really don't know. I will say that I've very happy with it. It's light and much easier to get into the car than a large wheelchair. It rolls pretty good on grass and dirt, too, again better than a regular wheelchair.

Don't forget about the rear wheels! Deluxe models as this one has bigger rear wheels which make it so much easier to push and steer. It won't disappoint.

First I would say the "deluxe" is a very subjective term. This product has a number of features such as two sets of brakes, seat belt, fold-down handles for easy storage in a car trunk, padded arm rests, light weight, easy pushing through uneven ground or plush carpets. While other wheel chairs have these features, few have all of them. George

Absolutely. The deluxe seats offer better support and comfort, which is very important. I am glad I made the right choice. If you want to seat comfortably, go for the SE 370, which has a longer hull. The SE 330 is simply too tight even for 2 adults of 5'6". Hope you won't make the same mistake as I .

The wheels are 5" and each wheel has a lock. The three-in-one is what sold us as we needed it mostly for a transit chair and after hip surgery as a bedside commode (the shower chair function didn't help us as we have a tub/shower combo). It seems to be be very sturdy and very versatile. Hope this helps. Note: Sorry, the I first posted 4" for the wheels but remeasured and they are 5" (I evidently looked at the tape measure wrong the first time) - sorry!!

Of the rolling walkers that are around this is absolutely the best. The others have tiny wheels and seem flimsy. My concern would be the, well, comfort of the seat. The smallest area between the metal supports is 17". That's about the same as other rolling walkers, but if one were really hippy it could be a concern.

The only real difference between the Radian RXT and R120 are the headwings. I actually have 2 RXT's and 2 R120's... I originally got the RXT's because that seemed the better option but like you, I've heard that the headwings can limit the full height ability of the booster mode (I have short kids but they are also skinny so it's possible this will eventually be an issue for me)...after hearing that I decided to just go with the R120's... they are a bit cheaper and if they give me a bit longer of a booster seat life, great!

Hi Julia, I purchased one of these chairs a couple of months ago. My wife is 5ft1inch and weighs 115 lbs. She easily fits into the 16 wide chair and it has the advantage of passing through small door ways. The foot rests are adjustable to accommodate about any height so I don't think you will have an issue there either. The chair seems to be sturdy and not very heavy so one can easily lift in and out of a car trunk. If your daughter doen't need the leg supports to keep her legs horizontal you can remove the supports and make the unit a couple of lbs lighter. I hope this answers your questions. I consider it a excellent wheelchairand especially considering the economical price. Regards, Dennis Hi Julia, I purchased one of these chairs a couple of months ago.

Not sure exactly but this is by no means a small chair.It's taller and more massive than an average chair.I've been using mine for 2 years almost and have no complaints.It's no Aeron (that's what I have at work) but it is a very good value.

This a great stool ! It is hydraulic and raises and lower about 4 inches. The wheels on this model are better the other models I have tried and can be replaced with 3 " wheels for a reasonable price when the need arises . I recommend !!

I believe it is as I went on the site for exact info -the company that makes them..it has been a while since I got it & that was a feature I believe I liked. it is so comfortable with the back too..I use it for make up etc. it is a very strong chair & very durable, sure footed & not like the seat one I bought before that the legs got weak etc. Worth every cent...good luck & hope you find it as good.

This chair is over built and is awesome it sit's aprox the same height off the ground as a standard folding chair with the depth of the seat being a bit deeper than a folding chair!! With that being said it also allows the user to sdjust the seat back for lower lumbar support I give it a 10 outta 10 and would buy another !!!

To my understanding, the standart travelmate only has 2 wheels vs the deluxe has 4 wheels. For me, I like the stability of the 4 wheels and I wanted something to make it easier on myself since I was traveling alone with my baby girl. My daughter's Chicco Nextfit was pretty heavy and I wheeled her around while strapped in so I liked that it was safe for her and that I could easily handle it with luggage. Plus, it had brakes which I found useful numerous times. I also liked the deluxe b/c the car seat never once touched the ground which was important to me since I like to keep my vehicles clean.

Yeah that's a tough call. This chair has more material versus the other which is more mesh like. You can compare functionality and see what you like.

That's what I could grasp from reading different sources on the internet. I have a 86205 and I'm very happy with it. 2 months and counting. I'm a big guy - 6'5 and 230lbs. No sign of sagging or ruining the seat or back. Working from home almost on a daily basis and the chair is comfortable to spend all day in it.

Seat comfort is key for me too after spine surgeries. Tried the Diamondback 910Sr but seat so shallow I could not stay on it - sliding off the front. The Spirit XBR55 seat was much better. The Spirit retails around $1,100 so, if in the budget, you may want to look at it.

I modified my chair to make it like Invacare Transport Chair, 16 inch Seat with Footrest- Black by Invacare $116 from Amnazon.I replaced the large side wheels with small rear wheels like those on the transport chair. And, when pushing someone around, the small rear wheel chair is easier to maneuver than the large wheel chair.My modified chair will go through a door with an opening of only 21 1/2 inches. So if you don't need the large side wheels order the 16" Transport Chair. Since I removed the large side wheels I can not give that measurement. My modified chair is 21 " wide.

I believe it's that the deluxe has a built in pillow rest. Or it could be the built in pump.

I am both tall and have serious lower back problems. I found this style chair to be very good. Adjustments are good enough AND seat comfort is extra good. Great chair for the money, too.
