  • Took it on the cruise and used it every single day. Bought from the Heathrow branch and the team there were lovely. Best money we've spent in a long time.

  • Battery is easy to drop out for the plane. Has held up brilliantly through a wet British autumn. Freedomchair have clearly put thought into the design. Bought from the Heathrow branch and the team there were lovely. Perfect bit of kit for travelling, can't fault it.
