Better wheelchair: Input please
We currently use an attendant controlled Lomax transporter wheelchair which is perfect for indoor use because it is light, and very maneuverable.
We are looking for a better wheelchair for outdoor/travelling use which has:
- a reclining backrest;
- a head restraint (for use when reclined and support when travelling in a WAV);
- pneumatic tyres for better comfort on uneven ground;
- toe restraints (to stop the feet from sliding off the front of the foot rests);
- if possible, attendant activated brakes on the wheelchair handles.
Any suggestions/experience?

I don’t know where you live, but I think the only option is to try them out if there is a big place by you. We needed to travel an hour to find somewhere
