hello
I am looking for a new lightweight wheelchair for everyday use.
After looking around on the Internet have narrowed my search to 3 wheelchairs. The r33 is one of them. I find this chair interesting because it has an inbuilt suspension system.
Has anyone got one of these chairs? If so would you recommend it? Does the suspension system actually make a difference?
Can anyone recommend any other chairs with suspension or without that they would recommend as good lightweight everyday chairs?

I was looking at the r33 around this time last year. I asked a w/c rep. about his unbiased opinion of them, his advice to me was that they had a few people bouncing out of them, so I stayed clear and went for a TiLite TR, I'm very happy with the TiLite, but if you can try one out for yourself then you'd know for sure.
