is this chair easy for my husband to use without me pushing it

I think it would be fine for him to use it alone if he doesn't have dementia or some reason not to understand about the way to turn around or reverse. If his arms are fairly strong, should be no problem. It is very easy to push, too. If there would be an incline, maybe you could help a little if needed.

The only trouble I have had is going up steep inclines, opening heavy doors, and, sometimes, the wheels will just spin on me if I am trying to get over a threshold or one of those rubber cabe runner things. I am 33, 110 lbs and have medium upper body strength. Definitely prefer being pushed around, but this chair is pretty light, narrow, and easy to use.

Yes, unless he has some mobility problem with hands or shoulders, as long as his arms and hands are ok, this is really easy

I don't have alot of upper body strength and I have no problem wheeling myself around in this chair in the house or on level ground. It's very maneuverable. I need help going uphill but that's expected. My mom says it's very easy to push--she's 78.

It is very easy. I would suggest taking it out on the couch to table where you can look it all over before you get started. It's really simple once you see how the material lies. Be sure to adjust the shoulder straps first. We have to take mine back out to do it. Bc I have a newer car we had to put the extra safety gadget on so it's a bit more of a hassle to get the seat out again. Long answer for yes. It is easy.

Yes! There is a button in the center of the wheel, an easy one finger push and the job is done. I love this chair for my son!

This is not a huge chair and thus maneuvering is fairly easy. I used it in my home as well as on a vacation for a week and I was fairly successful. The only unfortunate thing I found was that retailers are not always kind or cautious for people in wheelchairs....not leaving enough room to get around and making using their restrooms a nightmare. Good luck.

Yes...very easy. About 5 min per chair. The majority of the work is in packaging the pieces. Assembly is as simple as inserting the stem into the base..

Yes this chair has been totally problem free. My wife uses more often than I but we have no complaints. She uses it at least 3-4 times per week. The reclining feature allows her to get a massage while working on her lap top. Her only complaint is the timer feature only goes to 30 mins.

Yes quite easy. This one i bought for a 78 yo lady who rides my bus. The chair part and any part unfolds with ease, no struggling, no fighting with it just fold and go!

The chair is great. When it is folded it is not very small, but is easy to fold and lean against a wall. We keep ours out all the time.

No, while it needs some assembly, it is easy to do this by following the instruction sheet. I did it in short order, so most anyone who can read and follow directions can do it. Great chair!

Super easy to do! Just clip in the front wheels and put nuts on to hold the back wheels. The Arms and legs are removable by just pushing them on. It took less than 5 minutes. You can definitely do it yourself. This is an awesome chair. It rolls easily and fits through small doorways. Love it!

yes, but my husband said it wasn't difficult at all. not like Ikea furniture- lol.

Yes. It is just like a lazy boy chair in that you do not have to recline it.

Yes it is. It is actually light compared to normal chairs. Unfortunately we were only able to use ours 3 times. But one of those times we used it in the mall. My husband liked it because he could recline a little to get the pressure off of his bottom area plus use the wheel to push himself. Mine is for sale..maybe I could sell through Amazon. Let me know

Well, I find it a little awkward, but certainly not unsafe. I call it a 'commitment'. That is, you don't use it like an ordinary chair; plan to settle in and stay awhile. We love ours.

Very easy. I was able to put it together by myself and my husband's usually the one who puts everything together.

Hi there, I haven't tried out the chair yet, but my husband has, and he said very comfortable, and easy for him to get out of it. Hope that helps.
