What stands out

●
A backrest shaped to hold you upright
A standard sling back sags and lets the spine round into a C. The Comfort's patented backrest curves to follow the back and carries an adjustable posture support at the lower back, which Strongback designed to keep the shoulders back and the chest open while you sit.
●
Attendant brakes on the push handles
The person pushing has hand brakes on the handles, so they can slow the chair on a ramp or a slope without reaching down. The rider has wheel locks on both sides for parking.
●
Folds and comes apart without tools
The 24" rear wheels come off with a button, and the footrests swing away and lift off. The frame folds to 14" wide, and without the wheels, footrests and anti-tippers it weighs 16.6 lbs. on the 18" seat.
●
An axle that moves with your skill
The rear axle has three positions. It ships in the rearmost one, where the chair is least likely to tip backward. A forward position makes the chair easier to turn and tip over a curb, and Strongback asks that a trained technician move it, because the wheel locks have to be reset with it.
The Hieline Take

The Comfort is the chair to buy for its backrest. A standard folding wheelchair hangs a flat sling between the posts, and after an hour it has let you slide into a slump. Strongback built this frame around a curved backrest with an adjustable support at the lower back, so you sit upright without working at it. The rest is a sensible everyday chair: attendant brakes on the handles for whoever pushes, 24" wheels that come off with a button, and a 300 lbs. capacity. The trade is weight. It weighs 27.4 lbs. complete, which puts it in the lightweight class, and with the wheels off the frame you lift into the car is 16.6 lbs. Choose the 18" seat unless your hips need the 20", because every inch of seat adds an inch to the width of the chair.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • want a folding chair with a backrest built to keep you sitting upright
  • will be pushed by a companion part of the time and want brakes on the handles
  • weigh up to 300 lbs.

Look elsewhere if you

  • weigh more than 300 lbs.
  • need a seat narrower than 18" or wider than 20"
  • need armrests that flip back for a side transfer
