I use a TDX3 and it does very well. It isn't going to last seven years without some serious parts replacement. Don't be afraid to say you don't want the chair they try to give you if you don't like it. If you don't sign the paper, it's a 300lb paperweight. Don't forget a decent seatbelt you can use. I hope that is some help? if you ask more specific q's I might be able to get you more info. john I always like you postings John. Another consideration, who pays for the wheelchair? They may/will make the final determination of what you will receive and what they will pay for. If CMS is paying for your chair these days, it may affect the equation. Manufacturers, in the past, like to demonstrate their electric power chairs outdoors, climbing curbs, riding ramps and giving us the impression that "their" chair can do anything and go anywhere. In reality, if CMS is paying for your chair... its really for use indoors. Just the basic mode of transportation. Riding a bus, is not in the picture. Going places is not part of their agreement. Bungie Jumping off the side of a bridge, is out of their league. Hence, when planning of a new chair, that CMS is paying for, consider all of the above to know what you want, but also realize that CMS will just pay for what you need...... I sincerely hope the policy improves. W <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> AOL now offers free email to everyone. Find out more about what's free from AOL at http://www.aol.com.
