So I have been using this for about 3 months although bought it about 10months ago. Reason for this was it proved to be too heavy and awkward to get into our Audi Q3. So changed car to Honda CRV and got hoist installed. It is still awkward to get into car even with hoist but just takes practice. It enables me to walk when I am able, then I convert to wheelchar and I can carry on powering it myself or being pushed. Then I can revert to walking when I have rested. It is brilliant for anywhere which involves a long walk. Visited many gardens and galleries so far. It is wider and heavier than a bilateral walking aid but its flexabilty is worth it.
