How easy or hard is it to transfer from wheelchair to recliner or toilet with this item?

We don't find a problem, but I have to assist Sandie in and out of the chair anyway. It does swing out of the way with the footrest, and the tray can pivot out of the way too.

The table is easily removable. The small bracket is all that remains on the wheelchair when the table is removed allowing easy transfer.

I don't think it's designed to be attached to either a recliner or toilet. It has a bracket which attaches to a pole on your wheelchair.

Very easy. The bar that comes out of the bottom has marks on it for you to change the height for each person. It has a pin to hold it in place. I've had mine for about a year or so, and I just adjust it so my butt fits on the lower part of the canvas and held by the bar under it. Never had any problems with sliding off or hurting myself either, and I'm very close to 60 yrs old. I can only stay on it for about 5 to 10 mins though, because of my spine issues, but it still helps.

Quite easy. Generally you need pliers to get the old one off. The new mounts screw in the holes the old seat came out of. The new seat has locking lugs that swing to one side and then go over the new mounting lugs on the toilet. Rotate the locking lug back to the closed position. Have a seat.

I wouldn't say, "easily" but it is not too difficult albeit a bit of a nuisance. You have to take off your toilet seat in order to put on the elevated seat. If it wobbles you might want to use some heavy duty Velcro to anchor it more firmly. All in all it is not very difficult but you have to reverse the process in order to remove it.

My Dad used this item to move my Mom from car to wheelchair when she was unable to exit the vehicle following knee replacement. She is taller and heavier than the height and weight you've listed for your mother-in-law. If he had not had this transfer seat, he would have likely needed to have our local EMT's called to assist with her transfer. Also, when we had found this and were considering getting it, I had a cousin that saw it, and she exclaimed loudly to us, that "those things WORK and I know because I've used them with elderly patients".

The lift is good for transferring from bed to chair, however the wheels do not turn very easily and I often have to leave the person in the lift to manually move the front wheels in the direction I want it to go. I cannot use this lift in her half-bathroom nor can I use this to transfer outside to the car.

This rack is not motorized - you have to lift the wheelchair. It's all I can do to lift mom's chair. I fold it, lock the wheels, grab it to my body and kick up with my knee. Usually lands on the rack with one try!

I am not mechanically inclined and I love this product. You lift the toilet seat (you don't have to remove it) and then put the handicapped seat in the bowl. There is a projection that hooks under the back lip of the toilet bowl. Then you tighten a clamp (like a vise) in the front with that black knob. And it is just as easy to take out. Just loosen the knob, tilt and lift out. The handles snap on and off easily enough so you can store it back in the box for the next time you want to use it.

I found it quite easy. Love this chair, easy to transport as well (folds back in car)

I would say yes with a little strategy and maneuvering. Maybe a small table behind the wheelchair it can be done.

My wife has right leg in cast and uses wheel chair to get to toilet. Between the locking device on wheel chair and handles on toilet extender, it makes life a lot easier

Yes. I just used this model of Drive transport wheelchair for a 3-day weekend with my father. If you look at the photos, each side has a rubber-padded tube extending in the back just inside each rear wheel. You can push down on either one with a foot while you pull back the handles at the top with your hands. This helps lift the chair over a small bump or ridge. Just be careful! This isn't meant for off-roading. ;)

For most wheelchairs, you would lift up the fabric in the two back corners of the seat. Remove the screws and use them to attach the safety belt.

Yes, the handles in the back make this easier when the rollator is used as a wheelchair. This is not as heavy as a wheelchair, folds up to fit in the car trunk, you also do not have to worry about finding a wheelchair when you go out. I did not want to purchase a regular wheelchair, they are heavy and more clumsy.

It's super easy. You place the seat on top of the adaptor and it clicks into place. You can definitely use one hand.

We removed the legs and my elderly mother can easily move the wheelchair. My mother can stand and walk a few steps and easily transfer herself into and out of the chair. The narrow design helps to negotiate doorways and tight spaces. We purchased cushions for the seat and back.

Yes it is easy. I have moved this from my SUV, to my truck and the to a sedan.
