As you liked the Quickie you borrowed have a look at the Quickie Neon its foling.

I have the Quickie Argon and like it but it does not fold, only the back rest folds down.

I was a Quickie user for years. Had GPV's (which now seem so clunky!), and I have a Quickie titanium as my back up chair. If you like Quickie's stay with them, they make excellent chairs ... although the Quickie titanium can seem a bit flexible and "bendy", to me. Now, I'm using a TiLite TR and LOVE it. Best chair I've ever had. Very stable, lightweight and folds pretty compact (all my Quickie's folded up pretty small as well). Hubby also has a TiLite and loves his too.

For quick comparisons of chairs you can check out www.sportaid.com - they have almost everything. smile.gif
