Is this wheelchair "foldable" for placing in a car trunk?

Yes the wheelchair folds by pulling up on the two arm rests, the two sides of the wheelchair come together making it thin measuring 10 1/2 wide laid flat on it's side, it is 35"high from the back wheels to the handles and and 31 1/2 " front to back wheel. It fits snugly in the box and these are the box measurements

No it's not foldable, but you can disassemble and reassemble it fairly easily.

the steering column folds down making it easy to put into a trunk of a car. I have a van and did not need to fold it. the seat also can be easily moved up or down.

Yes but not easily transportable heavy will not fit in all cars..folding isnt easy. But once unfolded very sturdy. Hope that helps. Remember you need to use the brake when going down hill.

No not foldable. But you can take the "holding" bar off and then you can roll it to where you want to take it.

It folds down flat without any problems and can slide easily into the trunk of the car. When folded, the highest points are the wheels, which can be removed.

No. It is quite heavy, first of all, and it doesn't fold down easily. To fold down the handle bars, you need to remove the seat. On mine, the seat can only be removed by prying it from the base with a crowbar or some other tool.I have twice had to take the scooter to a shop to repair tire punctures, costing $40 each time. (Surely, they can come up with some kind of puncture resistant tires for this, can't they?!) Getting it into my trunk was a major production. So, unless you have a van or something with a wide door and high ceiling, I can't recommend it for your husband.

It does not collapse or fold for transporting in vehicle. I don't have it with me now to see how easy it is to take it apart for transporting and then reassembling it at destination. For general comments I found the chair a little flimsy/shaky.

In response to your question, the wheelchair is pretty light-weight and can be folded to save space. It depends on the airline and I am quite certain that most airlines are accommodating when it comes to something of this nature. It fits nicely in the trunk of a car but don't forget that it takes up space in the trunk that would be where you normally store luggage. I hope this answers your concerns.

The entire unit does fold down. Not totally flat though, about the same as a baby stroller. It fits in the trunk of my car with no problem, but in my opinion does take up a fair amount of room.

No, the handles do not fold down. The whole chair folds in half, the foot rests come off, and are easily put back on. I don't know how small your trunk is, but it will not fit in the back of our VW Beetle, but fits fine a standard car.

It is very easy to fold. I have had it in taxis, and a Camry. Occasionally you may need to take off the footrests but it is very easy.

Yes, it folds--small enough to fit in the trunk of a coupe! The linkage that goes to the seat comes off entirely; the main seat & back wheel are one piece.

I am not aware of a fold down back, Im sure it doesnt have that. The leg supports come right off, I can place the chair ina trunk of an average car. It weighs about maybe 40 lbs. Its not too bad to lift. Nice chair, we have used it all year.

Not in all scenarios. To simply fold it, you don't need to remove it. However, if putting into a small trunk, you may have to remove it to get everything to fit. OR, if flying on an airplane and gate-checking... you will need to remove it for the gate agents to put underneath the airplane (you'd bring it onboard with you for the flight).
