Juicing As A General Treatment For Stopping Acne January 31, 2012 Comments Off

Juicers and AcneIndividuals who are struggling with acne breakouts spend years and large sums of money battling this dreadful affliction. But simply including freshly squeezed fruits and veggie juice in your normal eating habits is the most beneficial treatment for acne that will not only support your acne, but also make you healthier overall.

Juicing as being a remedy for acne works due to the fact the juice is packed with a variety of nutritional value that will help your body to combat bacterial infections and boost your defense mechanisms, which helps to get rid of the acne breakouts. One of the most impressive juice extractor that’s powerful, efficient and affordable that’s ideal for this process is the Breville BJE510XL.

Also, although it may be tough to consume handfuls of green veggies as well as a bunch of carrots and several bits of fresh fruit, you can easily ingest the juice which comes from all of these ingredients, to get plenty of nourishment in just a single glass of juice rather quickly. For instance, the Breville 800JEXL can produce an 8oz glass of juice in just 5 seconds. But the most advance and effective juicer is the Breville JE900. It’s powerful, durable, smart and cost effective. The juices from these extractors are not only delicious but are loaded with nutritional value to supercharge your body’s defense mechanisms.

Juicing enables your defense mechanisms, giving the body the chance to restore and endure the consequences of acne. Well-known proverb that people are what they eat holds very true when it comes to skin conditions like acne. Research performed revealed that consuming a well-balanced diet with lower-glycemic carbohydrates and fatty acids like freshly squeezed vegetables and fruit juice helped stop acne breakouts. Therefore, for those who have acne, it might be time to scale back on the hamburgers and french fries. That’s simply because fast food is really the primary root cause of acne. Fast food is usually loaded with iodine, which can lead to skin flare-ups when ingested in excess. When your body doesn’t get rid of harmful toxins and contaminants out of your kidneys and bowels promptly, the outcome is displayed as acne. If you’re susceptible to frequent or persistent acne outbreaks, you should contemplate putting the skin on a purifying or detoxing diet. In the event your skin begins to break out, remember it may be as a result of lack of a number of nutritional values, so juicing to remedy acne is an effective solution to try. It may be smart to just incorporate this kind of juice in your daily diet since it has all kinds of health advantages, and isn’t just suitable for the treatment of acne outbreaks but also good for overall optimum health.

Electronic Stethoscopes – The Latest Innovation in Equipment for Medics August 20, 2011 Comments Off

The stethoscope is one of the universally recognized tools and symbols of medical professionals around the globe. Compared to many of the expensive and very large equipment utilized by medical professionals, the stethoscope is still one of the most important tools in a medical professional’s toolkit. This is because the stethoscope is many times the first detection system for ailments that patients may be experiencing that can only be picked up with these devices.

Stethoscopes have advanced significantly over time though and currently leverage a wide range of technology to make them perform better and make it easier to store the information they capture. Based on what medical professionals have stated in stethoscope reviews, though these more advanced stethoscopes are significantly higher than their classic counterparts, they are well worth the extra dollars.

So should all medical professionals go out and spend top dollar on a high-end electronic stethoscope? The answer is No. The type of examinations you perform on a regular basis will dictate the type of stethoscope you need. Cardiologists that are listening for very low frequency sounds may want to spend the extra dollars for a high-end electronic stethoscope or at minimum cardiology stethoscopes like the Littmann Cardiology III stethoscope or the Littmann Master Cardiology stethoscope. These high quality stethoscopes will allow a doctor to perform more effectively and efficiently and a high end stethoscope is warranted for them.

How about EMTs and Pediatricians, do they need a high end stethoscope? Well while a high-end stethoscope will always make the overall examination process easier, they are not required in this case. A mid-range good quality classic stethoscope, like the Littmann Classic II SE or the Littmann Master Classic II stethoscope would more than perform adequately. These stethoscopes perform great for performing basic cardiac and pediatric diagnostics.

Medical Students, entry level, and vocation nurses definitely should not buy a high-end stethoscope. It is overkill for their needs and is really a wasted of money. They are well suited with a lightweight and general use quality stethoscope like the Littmann Lightweight II S.E. Stethoscope or another stethoscope in that class or lower. They will not receive any additional benefits by using an electronic or cardiology stethoscope.

The Science Behind Todays Top Anti-aging Products July 14, 2011 Comments Off

Between the population around the globe aging and the obsession to maintain a youthful appearance the market for anti-aging products is booming. There are now dozens if not hundreds of products that are designed to help reverse the signs of aging that are catering to a huge market of people on a quest to find the best anti-aging products. While a large percentage of these products are generally not effective, there are a few standout products that leverage science and technology to produce effective results. In part 1 of this series we will be exploring some of the science and technology utilized in three of the top rated products, LifeCell Anti-aging Cream, GenF20 Plus, and EyeLasticity Eye Cream.

LifeCell Anti-aging cream is an all-in-one anti-aging solution manufactured by South Beach Skincare. It is based in part on advanced Nobel prize winning technology and is one of the few products that lives up to its bold advertising claims. LifeCell claims to be able to reduce and remove the appearance of wrinkles on skin in only 17 seconds. The micro-technology that they utilize allows them to actually back up their claim. The human eye technically does not see wrinkles or lines in the skin. What we in fact see are the shadows that are cast by the lines in the skin. The technology behind LifeCell is designed to reflect light so that the shadows that normally manifest as wrinkles are illuminated and therefore are not visible to the naked eye. This solution provide the immediate gratification demanded by today’s society. In addition, to this technology LifeCell leverages a combination of other active ingredients that provide several other longer term anti-aging benefits such as reducing age spots, plumping lips, and tightening sagging skin.

In contrast to LifeCell, which addresses a multitude of skin conditions, Eyelasticity Eye Cream is laser targeted at addressing aging conditions that affect the eyes. It is designed to be an eye puffiness, wrinkles, and dark circles under eyes treatment. Eyelasticity took the approach of combining several clinically proven anti-aging ingredients into a single cream to address aging in the eyes. The active ingredients in Eyelasticity include Eyeseryl, Syn-ake, Regu-Age, ProCollone+, Hydrlite 5, and Beta Gluan amongst others that have proven to have a substantial impact on dark rings under the eyes, wrinkles, expression lines, and puffiness. This combination of heavy hitting ingredients have proven to be a winning solution.

While the first two products we discussed were topical solutions, GenF20 Plus is an anti-aging supplement. It is among a new breed of  products branded HGH Releasers. These products are designed to help stimulate the body to naturally increase its production of human growth hormones. Many people compare the effectiveness of these solutions as opposed to getting human growth hormone injections, but based on the feedback in GenF20 Plus reviews, the fans of this product vouch for its effectiveness. As we age the human growth hormone levels in our body decreases substantially. The reduction of HGH levels in the body have been directly correlated to our body aging. GenF20 Plus incorporates sixteen ingredients that are designed to help the body increase its output of HGH. The advantages and draw of these products are the fact that they are available without a prescription, they do not require an injection, and they cost a fraction of the cost for HGH injections.

Stay tuned for Part II where we’ll dig deeper into the science and technology used in these products and their effectiveness.

Convertible Cribs – The Latest & Greatest in Crib Design May 7, 2011 Comments Off

Convertible CribsThe engineering and design in infant cribs has come a long way over the years, but not without a lot of lessons learned, controversies, and recalls. Today all of the best baby cribs are almost always a convertible crib. If you read the feedback provided in crib reviews from parents, they will tell you that the convertible crib is preferred because of how long these cribs can be used. Long ago, a crib had a very short life because the baby only spent their earlier years in the cribs and then had no additional use for it. With today’s convertible crib, the lifetime of the crib is actually limitless. Some of the top rated and top selling baby cribs like the Graco Lauren crib, Davinci Emily crib, and Davinci Kalani crib,  all come with the ability to convert the bed from a standard crib, to a toddler bed, to a day bed, and by purchasing bed rails these cribs can even be converted into a full size single bed. So now when parents purchase a Davinci Kalani Convertible baby crib, they are actually purchasing four beds in one. So its clear to see why this design is dominating the crib market. In addition to extending the usage life of the crib, parents also save big by not having to buy additional beds as their child grows.

The other appeal that these cribs have is their elegant design. Many are made from fine woods and have a polished finish that make them look very rich and expensive. This elegant finish is timeless and therefore retains its aesthetics all through the various stages and forms the crib takes throughout the child’s life.

The Engineering Marvel Behind Single Cup Coffee Makers April 11, 2011 Comments Off

Single Cup Coffee MakersSetting aside that it is one of the coolest but yet practical products to hit the market, the engineering that goes into a Single Cup Coffee Maker is very advanced. These little appliances are like having a coffee shop on your counter top.

These beverage systems utilize cups, pods, or discs, which have interior filters and are filled with the exact amount of brewing ingredients required for your chosen beverage. The cups utilize barcode technology that allows the brewer to identify them and determine the exact amount of water, water temperature, pressure, and brewing time  required to make a perfect cup of cafe quality beverages.

The manufacturers have also partnered up with top brands like Starbucks, Gevalia, and Green Mountain Coffee so you can literally have your favorite coffee shop brew made fresh in usually 1 to 2 minutes. The three leaders in this market are Bosch with their Tossimo Brewbot series of brewers, Keurig, and Senseo. Based on user testimonials in single cup coffee maker reviews, these brewers have a very satisfied and loyal following. In one user submitted Tassimo T20 review, a user actually stated she can’t see herself living without her Tassimo T20.

The Tassimo T45 and Tassimo T65, which is their top of the line model, also have received good reviews. Keurig’s top model, the Keurig B70 Coffee Maker supports as much as 200 different drinking varieties and that wide selection is what’s mentioned most in Keurig B70 reviews.

One of the top Senseo models is the Senseo Supreme 7832. All of the units work using very similar technology but have their own proprietary ways of providing the same functionality. Aside from their use in homes, these appliances are also showing up in businesses of all sizes. As the prices and per cup costs continue, we could see the end of large brewers.

Technology Used to Design Todays Hottest Fashion March 29, 2011 Comments Off

The latest technologies are being used in unique ways by the fashion industry in the quest to design today’s hottest fashions. Sexy dresses and sexy tops are benefiting from the advances in technology that have more to do with social networking than with any technology that is actually used in the design or creation of fashion by any fashion designer. In fact, for everything from sexy short dresses to a silicone adhesive bra, technology like crowdsourcing is allowing customers to become co-creators in the fashion design business. You see the influence in every style of fashion ranging from club clothes to formal evening dresses.

Crowdsourcing has allowed fashion to become highly personalized and responsive to social sharing. In crowdsourcing, a task, such as designing sexy dresses, is given to a large group of people through an open call. Instead of being performed by an employee, the job is now done by a large group of people who may or may not have experience. However, for the fashion industry what these people do have is first hand knowledge of what they would purchase from a designer. The most amazing thing about crowdsourcing is that people who are good at and interested in the task are the ones who end up being involved in it, and this is the case with today’s hottest fashion as well.

For the fashion house, crowdsourcing has several advantages, first among them is that the design comes relatively cheaply as those who end up doing it do it for free or at very little cost. It also allows designs to follow what people are interested in, so there is a built-in marketplace for crowdsourced fashions. Also important is that allowing customers to become part of the design process allows them to have much more buy-in creating more brand loyalty as well as making it much more likely that the resulting design will sell well.

Lansinoh A Long-time Leader and Innovator in the Breast Pump Industry March 27, 2011 Comments Off

Lansinoh which got its humble start over two decades ago with a Mom creating her own nipple cream solution after she couldn’t find one on the market to meet her needs, has developed into a market leader in nursing products and a leader in Breast Pump technology.

The hit Lansinoh Double Electric breast pump is still selling strong and receiving high marks from Moms according to the latest Lansinoh Double Electric Breast Pump reviews. This pump continues doing well because it utilizes competitive pumping technologies and gets just as good performance and output as the other pumps in its class which cost a lot more money.

The Lansinoh Breast Pump reviews also show that their latest release, the Lasinoh Affinity is also a hit with parents. With this newer model, its not just for Price and performance but because the affinity comes with some of the latest bells and whistles. This includes a digital liquid crystal display, a new breast milk expression technology, and their new custom fit flanges.

Lansinoh has also improved the safety of their newer models. Both the new version of the Lansinoh Double Electric Breast pump and the Lansinoh Affinity breast pump are now Bisphenol-A Free. The original version of the double electric was not BPA-Free. The affinity also uses a new patented closed system which prevents milk from backing up into the tubing. This is not only safer but also makes maintenance a lot easier.

Portability was also improved with both pumps now able to be powered by batteries in addition to the standard AC adapter. With most of today’s Moms working outside the home and otherwise on the go, this enhancement better caters to their needs.

So while there are several players in the Breast Pump market, this staple of the industry is still holding its own both in the hearts and minds of its users as well as in technological advancements.

The Evolution of Crib Mattress Designs March 25, 2011 Comments Off

The design of crib mattresses has changed and developed as technology has shown how mattresses and their component materials affect infants and their sleep. As the designs improve, knowing which ones best meet the needs of infants is easy to discover through crib mattress reviews. The design of foam mattresses like the Colgate Classica I Foam Crib Mattress and the Sealy Soybean Foam-core Crib Mattress have innovative uses of modern materials.

The Naturepedic Crib Mattress is also a leader in innovative design as many parents have reported in Naturepedic Crib Mattress reviews. Discovering the evolution and revolution in crib mattresses is as simple as examining the best current designs.

The Colgate Classica I Foam Crib Mattress provides extra firm foam support in a very lightweight design. The orthopedic design also includes a triple layer waterproof cover to protect the foam from any moisture. The foam is hypoallergenic to help prevent irritation and allergies. One design innovation is the eyelet vents which allow the mattress to maintain freshness, but it is still hypoallergenic. Its lightweight and waterproof design make it a leader in the continuing evolution of crib mattresses.

Comfort and safety are the most important characteristics of the Naturepedic Crib Mattress. The mattress is made completely out of natural and non-toxic materials and uses organic cotton filling. The mattress uses no allergenic materials at all and is a chemical-free place to sleep. The cover is made of food-grade materials and keeps out dust mites. The fire-protection treatment that is required on all mattresses is boric acid and antimony free and still exceeds federal and state flammability standards. The Naturepedic Crib Mattress reviews give it high marks for it comfort as babies sleep very well on it.

The Sealy Soybean Foam-core Crib Mattress features a soy based foam core that is incredibly durable and resistant to sagging. The mattress is tested for indoor emissions and it contains no mercury, lead, or heavy metals. The cover and bindings allow the mattress to be extremely resistant to allergens and prevent them from clinging to the mattress. The soy foam core allows this mattress to remain extremely light so that lifting it and changing the sheets is very easy.

Sealy has also made some dramatic improvements on their standard coil mattresses as well. The enhancements are all designed to better support babies and ensure their safety. For example, the Sealy Baby Ultra Rest mattress features 204 vertical steel support bars that is designed to evenly distribute the weight of infants sleeping on it. This prevents sagging or sinking in which can be hazardous for infants.

No matter what design innovations come to crib mattresses, each one corresponds to an increase in the comfort and sleep of the infant. Hypoallergenic materials and covers that protect both the infant and the mattress are just some of the continuing evolution of crib mattresses. Most improvements are happening in the earth-friendly designs such as renewable materials like soybeans, and they can provide an infant with a eco-friendly and safe sleeping environment.

New Electric Shaver Technology – Science or Marketing? March 24, 2011 Comments Off

There seems to be an innovation in electric shaver technology every day. The best way to really know if these innovations are actually improving the shavers or if it is all marketing hype is to consult electric shaver ratings. Ratings based on real user reviews and feedback can indicate how much an innovation has improved the shaving experience. Many electric shavers ratings focus on the specialized needs of men with thicker hair like the Panasonic es8243a or sensitive skin like the Panasonic ES-LA93-K. In addition, some shavers like the Braun Series 7 790cc feature innovative technology for a closer shave. No matter the technological innovation, ratings and reviews by real users can indicate how much is a real improvement and how much is marketing.

For sensitive skin, the technology of the Panasonic ES-LA93-K features the fastest available linear motor drive. Functioning at 14,000 cycles per minute, this innovation provides a fast, smooth shave that is reported to be razor-like. The shaver actually has a second motor as well which vibrates the shaver head up and down to ensure a very close shave. It also has four different cutting blades that are sharpened with nanotechnology and are angled at 30 degrees.

The Panasonic es8243a features a motor that functions at 13,000 rpm to ensure a close shave in just one pass. There is also an expanded cutting surface that is 32 percent larger which is designed to increase efficiency and spread the shaving pressure when pressed against the skin. This is designed to minimize the irritation of sensitive skin as it moves quickly and smoothly without any pressure points. It also features a quadruple foil and four cutting blades that ensures a closer shave as well.

Featuring Braun’s Pulsonic Technology, the Braun Series 7 790cc generates 10,000 micro vibrations with each pass of the shaver allowing it to capture more hair per pass than other shavers. For men with sensitive skin, the shaver has three personalization modes which vary from sensitive mode to intensive mode that can easily be changed depending on the needs of the hair being shaved. For areas that are easily irritated, the sensitive mode can be used, and the intensive mode for thicker more resistant hairs.

The reviews and ratings provided for these shavers indicates that these technological innovations are all about technology and not just marketing. Reviewers note that the innovations do make a difference to their shaving experience and results and that the shavers often perform well beyond the indications of the manufacturers. Clearly, electric shaver innovations are making a difference.

Inline Strollers – An Innovatively Engineered New Style of Stroller Comments Off

Inline StrollerInline Strollers feature the latest and most innovative advancements in technology used for strollers. These strollers buck the traditional design of a stroller and present parents with a uniquely engineered offering that seems to be a hit based on feedback provided by parents on Double Stroller Reviews. The Phil and Teds Explorer is one of the latest in this style of strollers and it features a revolutionary design that we’ll be exploring in depth. Able to hold one or two children in seven different seating configurations, including an infant car seat, this product is at the leading-edge of comfortable design for infants and toddlers. The configurations include an innovative approach to including the second rider, the double kit. The double kit, which was also raved about in double strollers reviews, can be attached either in front of or behind the standard seat and allows the second rider a comfortable position without extending either the overall length or width. The double kit even allows for the infant car seat to be attached with plenty of room for the second rider.

Because of the easily changed seating arrangements, children from infancy through later toddlerhood can ride comfortably while still being safely secured in a five point harness system. For newborns, the front seat lies completely flat which is almost unheard of in other models. The infant can snooze comfortably while totally reclined, or even get a diaper change.

Parents find other design features particularly useful for their children including the revolutionary sun shade. The sun shade is designed to follow the sun and features a flick-out sun visor that instantly provides even more shade for the passengers. Parents can read more about this feature at a Phil and Teds Explorer review which can give even more detail and examples of how the sun shade really protects the riders.

Many parents who have struggled to find the right accommodations for two children riding in a stroller together point to how difficult they are to maneuver. Many double stroller reviews of the Phil and Teds Explorer point to the width, just 24.4 inches (62 cm), as one of the great features. This width makes it easy to enter any doorway as well as turn down aisles easily. In addition, with a weight of just 25 pounds (11.5kg), the ease of pushing it through any terrain cannot be beat. In fact, the front wheel gives the Explorer terrific turning ability, which combined with its weight and slim width make this one of the best choices on the market today.

Some double stroller reviews point out the difficulties of folding them up with one hand and while juggling the children. Folding the Phil and Teds is an easy one-handed operation and is made easier by how lightweight it is. It is easy, even when holding an infant, to fold it and lift it into a trunk. The bumper bar and wheels remove and the overall size is 30 inches, by 20 inches, by 9 inches with them removed, making it easy to fit into even a subcompact car trunk.

The New Paradigm in Breast Pump Technology March 21, 2011 Comments Off

Today’s breast pumps feature several technological advancements designed to bring them as close as possible to replicating the way an infant actually nurses.

When you read through breast pumps reviews today and compare it to some of those you would have read in the past, you’ll notice that many of the issues that were commonly reported in the past are no longer being reported.

When you look at some of the top rated pumps on the market like the Ameda Purely Yours breast pump, the Medela Freestyle, and Medela Pump in Style Advanced, they all include features that allow them to express milk in a fraction of the time it would have taken years ago.

The Ameda Purely Yours breast pump is the latest in a line of pumps dating back over 70 years. As the leader in cutting edge technology, this pump features a unique control system that can be customized to meet the individual pumping needs of each mother who uses it. Infants vary their natural rhythm over time and from feeding to feeding, and the technology of this pump allows mothers to do the same thing with the pump.

The custom fit flange is also a technological achievement that allows for 32 different combinations of flange. The flange assures the comfort of the pump’s action for the mother and this model leads the way. Having the right flange assures good flow and therefore successful pumping. The ability to feel more like the natural infant’s sucking instead of a vacuum makes this an important advancement that reviewers often note.

Technological innovation is also the backbone of the Medela Freestyle. It features the Medela two phase expression technology. The technology allows the pump to mimic the sucking action of an infant. With the most natural expression possible, the pump is able to be extremely efficient and successful at expressing milk. The adjustable settings are able to be completely customizable and can be digitally stored for mothers to be able to save and repeat the best pumping patterns. The small size of the pump and its advanced motor means the battery lasts up to three hours. This technological achievement adds to the overall usefulness and versatility of the pump.

Pregnancy Pillows – Engineered For Expectant Moms March 17, 2011 Comments Off

The engineering design behind pregnancy pillows takes into account the physical changes that expectant mothers experience throughout their pregnancies. A pregnancy pillow is more than just a head rest, it is a support system engineered to alleviate aches and pains and to facilitate a good nights sleep.

Pregnancy pillows, like the Boppy Total Body Pillow and the Comfort-U Body pillow, have to be engineered for the unique body shapes of expectant mothers. They do this through shapes and designs that try to maximize the comfort of the expectant mother. Based on the increasing sales of these pillows and feedback provided in pregnancy pillow reviews, these pillows are providing the relief and support needed by moms and helping them to sleep comfortably in the positions recommended by health professionals.

The Boppy Total Body pillow was designed to provide support to the mother as her body changes throughout her pregnancy. The design allows it to fit under her head for excellent neck support while also being able to wrap around her back or stomach and between her legs. The engineering of this pillow takes into consideration that many expectant mothers tend to toss and turn, and its shorter-than-average length allows it to be easily repositioned. The between-leg support is an especially important design as the pregnancy progresses and the hips and lower back need additional support to stay in alignment.

Where the Boppy focuses on a short-easy to adjust design, the Comfort-U Body Pillow features a full-body support system engineered with the view that the entire body needs support throughout the night, not just one side or the other. This pillow features a U design with arms that extend a full 5 feet, four inches long on both sides to allow complete front and back support. This full body design supports head, neck, back, tummy and legs all at the same time, so there is no choosing which area to support while leaving others without support. The length also allows for any number of different sleeping positions so expectant mothers can rest in the most comfortable position possible. Unlike other pillows, the Comfort-U is able to stay in place when the expectant mother moves from one side to the other, without having to adjust the pillow with each move.

Engineering plays a definite role in the design of pregnancy pillows. The designs focus on the issues that pregnant women face each night as they try to get a good night’s rest, including neck and back support, and also leg and tummy support. The approach to the issues that pregnant women face while trying to sleep can be quite different, such as a full body pillow to encircle the mother-to-be, or a c-shaped support that easily moves as she does. However, the results are the same, a comfortable sleep with fewer aches and pains.

Sit and Stand Strollers: Another Transformation in Stroller Technology March 8, 2011 Comments Off

Sit and Stand Strollers are another of the latest modern stroller designs. Unlike traditional double strollers, sit and stand models allow one rider many more traveling options than can be had in other models. Based on Sit and Stand Stroller Reviews, the Baby Trend Sit and Stand Stroller, Joovy Caboose Stroller, and Joovy Caboose Ultralight are three of the top rated strollers in this class. Sit and Stand stroller provides options and comfort while still allowing parents to have the child securely belted in when necessary. The main feature of the design is the front and back riding locations for passengers. The choices available to the rider in the rear location in the Baby Trend Sit and Stand stroller allows for traveling in a comfortable standard seat which can later be removed. Upon removal, the child can rest on a padded bench, facing the rear, which includes a safety belt system, or stand on the platform and face forward, watching everything around. It is easy to exit from either position, allowing parents the ability to give an older more responsible rider the freedom to move outside of the safety of the stroller and explore.

For the younger or smaller passenger, the front seat features two positions, upright and reclined. The reclined position allows the younger rider to lounge easily. There is also an infant car seat configuration which permits the infant seat to be attached to the front location securely with a snap on function as well as an additional safety strap which holds the car seat in place.

In many Baby Trend Sit and Stand stroller reviews, parents point to the ease with which the rear seat can be removed and stored in the basket underneath. This makes it very easy to have it available later if the child becomes tired and wants to relax in a traditional seating location. Even with it stored in the basket, the undercarriage basket is large enough to accommodate it plus all the various items parents need to bring along when traveling with children. The basket is easily accessible from the rear, but also has snaps to allow access through the sides when necessary. Reviewers also point to the very light weight of 27 pounds. At this weight, it is easy to fold up using just one hand and is very easy to lift into the trunk of a car for transportation.
