I use this for moving my disabled wife around places like the zoo or park. I first had the other medline bench with smaller back wheels but one of the footrests broke so I have decided to buy this one as an ‘upgrade’ to attempt out. The difference is night and day. The bigger back wheel makes pushing her around lots easier, particularly uphill. Downhill may be harder; but, the handbrakes function better since they’re gripping the big wheel whereas before the handbrakes could lock up the tinier back wheels and you could start to slide.. So given that the handbrakes really work right, downhills are a bit easier also but you have to be cautious to have your hands on the brakes. The other major difference that my wife loves is the ride is much smoother. Her back is easily upset and when I go over bumps and small things like gaps between concrete slabs she hardly notices them anymore. Size is generally the same. It folds easily and pops into my trunk and is not so heavy that I could ever need help to carry it. Also, the frame is obviously heavy responsibility (compared with some of the really lightweight chairs you will see that could break fast). As far as dependability, I’ll still need more time (about a year) before I could really comment. I can say that my initial concern that the back wheel was possibly puncturable was put to rest ( I usually take it down dirt trails for short distances). It's not an inflatable tire so puncturing really is not an issue. Happy I took the plunge and got this one.
