Folding

I have a folding Tilite xc and it's time for a new chair. Can anyone suggest the best folding chair out there.

I've had a Quickie GTX about a year and a half and no problems with it, its worked out really well.

I've had a TiLite TX and it's great. No problems and pretty light, considering

Thank you to both of you. I think I'm going to look at the TX. I spoke with a rep today.

I'm liking my TiLite 2GX so far. It's lighter and has a smoother ride than my old Quickie 2. It's adjustable, unlike the TX, so if you're not 100% sure of your measurements it might be a good alternative.
I looked briefly at an Air Flight folding wheelchair - it seemed very stable and rigid and folds very narrow. The footrest doesn't seem to be sturdily attached, but that's just from a quick glance. Not too heavy, either.

I have a quickie 2, how does it stack up among folding chairs? Is there something better out there? It's only 25 pounds to lift. Is there lighter?

I just spoke w/rep from KI. Great guy, knew alot. Any opinions as to what is better, TILITE TX or KI? I would like to be able to pull chair into a backseat w/out taking wheels off, and KI chair might work.
