I have the need to transport the chair between two locations and am wondering how easy to assemble and dis-assemble to carry in a mini-van?

It fits in my Toyota sienna without disassembling. just have to drop down the back row seats

I wouldn't want to do it on a daily basis but just 6 to 8 easy bolts to undo. And you might not even need to take them all off, maybe just the base and the upper half, which would mean just 4 bolts. Very simple to put together and nicely built.

should be no problem just need a wrench and a plastic bag to put the bolts in until you reassemble.

It is very easy to separate into three pieces: the base, the topmost adjustable part, and the round piece you lock your feet behind. It isn't practical to break it down further.

Based on my experience, this model is not suited to fold up and easy transport, I suggest that you look at other product alternatives.

Not easy to dis-asemble, but will fit in a mini van without being taken apart. Overall I would say this was a mediocre product though. Wobbles and hard to tighten the bolts enough to make it stable

I would say it's portable if you are traveling by car. The set up was easy all you have to do is stick the legs through the slots, but that did take some elbow grease, but was sturdy once put together. Unfortunately we found it to be too narrow for our needs, we had to return it.

It's pretty light but as others have said, it's awkward to carry. Disassembly is easy but it takes a bit of time disassemble and then reassemble. I only use mine at home.

You can recline the chair about 30 degrees and yes you can still be wheeled around in that position. That is how I was able to put my wife in the van.

Reasonably heavy, but it has a handle on one side and small wheels on the other, so you can drag it like a suitcase. If you're only going from the van to the building you should be good! The design is nice how it goes together, it protects the speaker and the controls when in transport.

I haven't disassembled it, but I would think it would be as easy as assembling. I wouldn't personally recommend for what you are describing as I think it would be too much to deal with and not real practical to haul along. Not a light load and lots of parts to screw together.

You will basically have to assemble the whole chair, but it is straight forward and easy to assemble. The parts are heavy duty and they have great customer service!

It took maybe 20-30 minutes for me to assemble it but I will add that I'm not mechanically inclined so putting things together isn't what 'this girl does'! With regard to it's portability, chances are you wouldn't have much of a problem taking it apart due to it's ease of assembly.

I would say it's not terribly portable. It is rather lightweight, but tall and bulky. I certainly would not want to take it apart and re-assemble it. Putting it together was not fun and I would not want to deal with that over and over.

Kayla, it breaks down into 3 sections and can be easily transported in a small duffle or in a suit case. It assembles in less than 5 minutes.

The realistic answer to this question is, it depends on you, to some extent. I found it easier to fold and set up than any wheelchair. It's about half the weight of the lightweight chairs. It's best used for someone who is moderately able to ambulate on his/her own, whereas someone using a wheelchair only needs to be able to sit upright. The long answer asks that you assess where you are at this point in your life. *How easily can you raise/lift/handle a 20+ weight that is awkwardly shaped? *Are you a 60 yr old helping someone who is 85? *Are you 75 and planning to handle this piece of equipment yourself? *Will you be putting this into a car/truck/van for use outside the home? In that case, check the height that you will need to lift the rollator, the space available against the dimension of this item, etc.

I don't think it is meant to be disassembled. However, it is very lightweight and easy to move. I store it in one room until my granddaughter comes then move it to our kitchen. It is small enough that it will easily fit into a backseat if it needed to be taken to another location..

It comes in pieces, you have to attach the back and the arms. So yes,you could unbox it and carry the pieces. It's not heavy. I had no problem moving the pieces around to assemble it.

Not difficult at all. I ordered 3 chairs, had them all together in less than an hour.

Yes quite easy. This one i bought for a 78 yo lady who rides my bus. The chair part and any part unfolds with ease, no struggling, no fighting with it just fold and go!

Chair doesn't "fold up" but can be disassembled for travel. Many of the parts (swing away foot rest; castor wheels) lock together with spring buttons which easily come apart. Other parts come apart but require the tool that comes with the chair. It might get tiresome on a stop and go trip but is worth the safety and comfort of the occupant to have it. Chair is compact and wouldn't take up much room once the footrests and wheels are off. Also, arms raise 90 degrees which affords more space flexibility.

well i hate moving it around but it just takes a chair and a screwdriver.. its pretty simple.. on youtube there is a video of somebody installing it. its very easy and fast
