I'm going to ask my wheelchair company about the bouncing or rocking in the reclining position and if that is harmful to the chair. That is a good point, Wheelchair. Thank you for your advice. Dana When I was forced to travel this way back in the day when I had extraordinarily low blood pressure, I bounced around all the time and the damage to the wheelchair. Thankfully I have figured out most of the problems with my blood pressure, but occasionally I still have those times where I can seem to get it up when I need to. No pun intended, but it did sound funny. Quadius

Traveling in a chair that is in recline, could actually be dangerous my manufacturers own standards. I can imagine the added stress to the reclined chair as it is bounced about. I also believe the center of balance is changed to. That could easily explain the rough ride. W In a message dated 5/23/2007 10:26:30 P.M.

I don't jerk around as much on the highway a decedent's more comfortable to be reclined.
