Its a quickie zippy custom.

That looks like a very specialist custom chair for a severely disabled child. Why would an adult need to use it for any length of time or indeed at all?

I am from china, it is simple, to get person to new chair, use this chair for about 30-40 minutes to get there. I have not seen this chair in person, as I will be borrowing it form someone who acquired it and has no use for it. zero wheel chair better than having this chair?

Any chair in which you can fit,, and that will support your weight,, is a damn sight better than no chair. Be sure of the first two things first,, then do what you need to do to be mobile.

Doing without ANY chair seems unacceptable to me. It would be lovely if you could get what you really need,, but one needs to be realistic,,, 30 or 40 minutes doesn't sound unreasonable,, just be careful not to get stranded.

Good luck

I could fit into that so a normal sized adult should have no problem.
