My perfect travel companion for flight from Texas to California
I purchased this chair 2 weeks before my trip from Texasto California to visit my son. I was nervous that it would not make it in time and contacted the seller who was very prompt in responding and reassuring me that the chair would be on time. They delivered just as they said and I immediately took the chair out of the box and it was a breeze to set up. This chair gave me so much freedom during my travel. I was able to drive the chair right up to the plane, remove the lithium ion batteries and placed them in a zip lock bag as mentioned in another review. The flight attendant stored the batteries in a closet at the front of the plane so that I would not have to worry about them. The chair was placed underneath and was ready for me at the door when we arrived at our destination. I had to change planes at DFW and this chair allowed me the ability to transfer myself. I zipped through the airport and onto the tram to the next terminal and gate with plenty of time to spare. Now one thing I would like to note and I am not sure why, but when I arrived in Dallas the battery power seemed to go down significantly. I had placed the batteries in the same giant zip lock bag so I am not sure if them touching each other had anything to do with this or if I possibly put one of the batteries in wrong. I made it to my gate a little nervous along the way but the flight attendant allowed me to plug in while I waited at the gate. On the second jot of my trip I decided to put the batteries in 2 separate bags and when I arrived at LAX I seemed to have plenty of battery power left. Something to think about when storing the batteries during the flight, take 2 separate zip lock bags for storage and by the way you need the giant ones. This was the only issue that I had on my trip. The chair is very stylish and I got many compliments on the looks, weight and freedom this little chair gave me. It's a little slower than my scooter, but I was on vacation so no need to hurry. I managed to roll my Innuovo down the Santa Monica Pier and along a couple miles of the bike/walking path that runs between Santa Monica and Venice Beach. It was amazing to not have to be pushed around by my son and just casually roll beside him as we strolled the beach together. My son found the chair very easy to set up and lift in and out of his car. I was also pleasantly surprised at how well it fit inside his apartment and even fit through his bathroom door, making life a whole lot easier for this one legged mama. Overall I would purchase this chair again and again. If they ever do an upgrade to make it a little faster I would do so. If you are thinking about the perfect chair to travel with then you have found the right one!
