What a great find!!
Recommended by our daughter-in-law, who had bought two for her father (one for at home; one for trips out in the car)—this lightweight but sturdy and stylish wheelchair has been a game changer for my husband. Parkinson’s and several knee surgeries have him using a walker to get about during the day. However, it is the Journey that makes it possible to scoot right up to the table for meals or a game of chess, or up to his computer desk to work. And when we head out for longer “walks” or to an away appointment (dinner out or a Dr appointment), the Journey folds easily (straps on either side are genius!) for lifting into the trunk. We have added a cushy patio cushion for those times he wants to sit for a longer while to watch a movie or listen to a concert. In short—the Journey is on our very short list of all-time best purchases!!

VERY LIGHT
This chair is very light and easy to fold and unfold. It is great for when we just need a quick use (we have a heavier one for all day use that reclines). This is a great option for times when we just don't see the value in getting the larger heavier one out. It seems to be comfortable enough for non-extended uses for our son/

Customer Service
We have purchased two electric wheelchairs from Journey and love their products. The second chair was damaged in transit and had to be replaced. Lisa Scott in Customer Service was very helpful. She went above and beyond to make certain my handicap brother was cared for. Everyone we have delt with at Journey has been knowledgeable and professional. Lisa went the extra mile to make sure we received exceptional service. Five stars to Journey and specifically to Lisa Scott.

Great chair
This chair is perfect for us. Comfortable and easy to wheel. As her caretaker and being older myself it is easy to lift and travel with. Even her doctor liked it and found it well made.
