Carol, what do you mean by "fold back spring seat?" unsure.gif Is it a Meadowbrook type where the seatback folds down or the seat folds up in the middle to allow entrance from the rear? I think you haven't gotten any answers because we're not sure what you're asking. smile.gif

Leia I was looking at the easy entry cart at Country Carriage USA. I asked about the springs and was told they are called fold back springs. I have never seen these type of springs. Looks like the metal is bent back like a u shape under seat. LOL not sure if that makes any sense.

Oh! Yes, it does. I've seen pictures of those...in fact I think the Bennington mini cart might have them. I'm afraid I don't have any personal experience with the ride but let's see if anyone else does. smile.gif

I used to have a cart with these types of springs. The springs were comfortable, not too springy or too stiff. However, I sold the cart because the seat was too low and it made my bad back hurt! So, you might want to consider how high the seat sets also. wink.gif
