Factors to Consider
This wheelchair can be changed between front wheel drive and rear wheel drive without using tools.
The cantilever seat may be of benefit when higher surfaces are needing to be reached such as benches at school.
The wheelchair can still operate when the seat is raised, but it will travel at a slower speed.
Tilt in space can be used when the seat is raised.
