It is very well built but,
But, I did not realize it was so wide. We have no problem getting through the interior doors with the old walker, but this one is a wide track. The rear wheels won’t go though the bedroom doors. The dimensions listed in the description are 31″ deep by 13″ wide. I couldn’t find a 13″ measurement anywhere, unless they mean the seat. The rear wheels are 27″ wide tho. So just keep in mind that if your doors are 27″ wide as in many double wide and mobile homes, this thing won’t fit unless you take the door off. Not faulting the walker for this. It’s my fault for buying a double wide mobile home. (sigh).

Fold up seat offers great stand-at-counter option
Pros:- Feels very stable to use- Seat can be flipped up so you can step closer to counter while standing- Flared handle grip shape very comfortable- Easy to use brakes- Fold away cup holder is a helpful plus- Comfortable thick foam seat- Flat seat works well for transporting items- Comfortable padded back rest with arm rest platforms!- So many storage areas: large bag, two compartment tray, two compartment removable pouch!- Easy to assemble and adjust- Equal front and wheel sizes means its easy to roll forwards or backwards- Bright iridescent reflector strip across front for high visibility- Easy to fold and store- Easy to clean and maintainCons:- Foam seat is thick and the legs canât be lowered enough to make it so a 5â6â person can sit fully back in seat against backrest and have feet flat on ground; have to sit forwards away from backrest to keep feet flat on ground. This matters if you sit in the seat and push yourself in the walker / rollator.- Turning radius is good, but not as tight as some walkers / rollators-Slightly wide to use in the house; takes practice to avoid snagging on furniture and doorways- Adjustable poles used to attach handles into the base of the walker / rollator are slightly narrow, and so they rattle and are a little loose even when locked in position. Easily stabilized by wrapping a little pumberâs around the poles where they insert into the base.Overall: Highly recommend!

Sturdy, but heavy to load in/out of car
This is a great walker with a seat – itâs super sturdy and maneuvers well. Biggest drawback is it is heavy. It folds up nicely to fit in back seat of an SUV but is a bit heavy to load and unload. If you need a walker, and you donât have assist with loading, not great to take shopping. My Mom uses inside an independent living facility that has long hallways, etc – great to have a seat if she feels tired. Storage area is under seat – itâs fine for carrying light loads but nothing too big or too heavy. Itâs been great for my Momâs purposes!

God send for my wife
This thing is nice for the price. My wife 47 had emergency hip surgery and will be using this for about 2 months. It’s light weight, adjustable, easy to assemble. The wheels on it are easy to get through grass also so my wife can watch my daughter at her softball games. Even her doc said that it was a really nice one and will be recommending it to other patients . Would definitely recommend.

The Wheeled Walker defective handles, wich causees too unstable and may be dangerous, causing falls!
I received this Wheeled Walker on February 8th, 2022. I bought it directly from Amazon. The handles are very shaky and wobble every direction. I have been using a walker for three years, due to a genetic progressive illness similar to ALS and Muscular Distrophy.My Physical Therapist told me not to use it; and to return it. That it would be dangerous for balance and could easily cause me to fall. Although, I have been making almost all purchases except food through Amazon, and most directly from Amazon, as I did with this walker. I have had to at times return an item.But the website is not accepting a return. It isn’t being looked at by a human being. And as I have rewritten my reason for return dozens of times; as I push the message to Amazons server, it instantly bounces back that “This item doesn’t qualify for return.” When upon reviewing the again what qualify s for return. Every time I reread all of the return policy; it certainly does qualify for return! My budget to buy a new walker that had bigger wheels and good breaks; which I desperately need, is tied up with this purchase. I need it to be replaced or a refund of my over $200.00. So that I can find another walker that isn’t defective and not dangerous, as my Physical Therapist and my MD, who was here to see me yesterday agreed with the Therapist. And instructed me not to use it and get a new safe one immediately as I live alone. And only have a helper for 5 hours 5 days per week at this point.So, at this point I am very frustrated with this situation which needs resolution by Amazon. But I am unable to get in contact with a human being to hear my reason and make a decision to allow a return.It seems to me that there is a glitch on my Prime account that is causing this. I have also received emails from Amazon Membership that my account is closed while it is certainly in full operation,accepting and delivering other orders.

Really Good Buy!!
The “seat back” is great. Flat, wide comfortable….unlike our previous chair had the standard round bar in the back which becomes painful if you sit for a long time. The handle on the seat makes for easy fold up and the storage compartment is so helpful. The wheels are sturdy and run smooth. The color is attractive and feminine. This walker chair is for my 98 year old aunt and she has a much easier time when using it. It is a little bit larger than our previous chair, so in-and-out-of-the-car needs a couple more inches of space unless you use the trunk…..but that chair was from 2016 is now a feeble ancient compared to this chair.I waited way too long to buy this new chair and should have done itat least a couple of years ago. Don’t wait….just get it. This was a ‘make sense’ purchase. Thank you Amazon.
