Medline Extra-Wide 20" Wheelchair, Elevating Legs, 500 lb Weight Cap

This wheelchair was purchased by my church for the use of one of our members who needs it. By purchasing, it eliminated her need to transport her own very large and heavy chair. This purchase was very easy and quick. Thank you,

This would be a great wheelchair if you had someone to push you at all times. However, I don't, and my upper body is not strong enough to roll the wheels so I "walk" myself along. The problem is that the wheels are situated directly behind my feet and I am constantly running over them unless I take very small, mincing steps. Not pleasant and it's downright exhausting. I really don't want a wider chair because this width is easier to get through doors without bumping, but I didn't have this problem with an ancient 22" seat model and this is the 2nd time I've experienced this with 20" seats. The price has also doubled in the past few months.
