Drive Medical 10257BL-1 4 Wheel Rollator Walker With Seat, Steel Rolling Walker, Height Adjustable, 7.5" Wheels, Removable Back Support, 300 Pound Weight Capacity, Blue

I have an "old fashioned" aluminum walker. Isn't the greatest. Have fallen too many times with it. Quit trying to do things in it. No taking anymore chances. Besides...one of the clips is giving me problems.I chose this walker out of any of them. It's low price and light weight. If I had more room in front of my passenger seat. I could lift this one across my lap and to the passenger side. Been doing that with the aluminum one. I'm either going to put this one in the backseat. Or in the trunk. Have to. The brakes? I don't see any walkers with better brakes than this one. ??? They are adequate. They lock. Am very happy with the brakes. The seat is wonderful. I can even kneel on it when needed. Or put things on the seat or under it. It's nice. Old aluminum one had a shelf offering. Geesh...too high. I was already falling with it. This one is very maneuverable. Gets around and tight spots much better than the old one. This one isn't hard to lift the three steps to the house. It's not too heavy. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Needed assistance in keeping my balance after taking a fall. This is a very solid and practical solution, and has a seat when needed. In any event we were doing our annual South to North migration and I wanted to take it with us. Well, the stuff I thought that we did not need filled the car up so that it could not fit. First thing I did was order a 2nd one because it is a great item. FWIW, both times I ordered it, it arrived the next morning. Very easy assembly.

Updating my review. They emailed me back and they are going to ship me the parts I need for free. I am very grateful that they are going to help.I have had this walker 6 months and the cap on the bottom of the wheel broke off. I didn’t realize it and now all the ball bearings have fallen out. I emailed the company to help BUT they said the wheels only had a 60 day warranty. They sent me 8 websites and none of them have this part. One that was close was $50 for the wheel. I could buy a new one for that price. Apparently the wheels are only good for 60 days.This is the 3rd walker I have had and never had a problem with the other two. So this one was apparently defective. They should ship me the part for free.

Easy to assemble. Better than my worn out walker, that my insurance would not cover until it's at least five years old. This is about 10% of the price of my former walker, and it works! Big tires, hand brakes with a locking function yecseat has more padding, and the basket didn't tear the first day I used it! I would recommend it to anyone that needs a four wheeled walker with a seat!

It's stable and sturdy. I'll share some facts and tips for those who are considering this unit.The outside dimension from side to side, including all pieces, is about 22.5 inches. At my house, that's narrow enough to roll into a bedroom but not a bathroom. It would just roll through the bathroom doorway if there was no door, but a standard hinged door gets in the way.The seat itself is about 12 inches square. The space between the uprights is 16.5 inches, so if you're any wider than that, it'll be a squeeze.Hand tightening the handles at the desired height worked okay for me, but a frail person would probably need some help.The usual guidance I've seen for walking aids is that the handles should rise to about the crease in your wrist. I'm 5'9", and I had to raise the handles to their highest stable position to reach my wrist. I've got the handles standing 36 inches off the floor. The product specs say they can go to 37", but I was leery of putting them any higher. If you're a six-footer, 37 inches might not be high enough anyway.The seat is 21" above the floor - not adjustable.The handles stand 14.5 inches above the seat, at the handle height I'm using. That might be good news for you if you'd need the support to stand up. It might be bad news if you don't like having high "armrests" when you're seated.The 7.5-inch wheels are pretty good at rolling over minor obstacles, but sooner or later you'll have to lift the unit. The product specs say it's 20 pounds. Think of it as something like a couple of gallons of a beverage, or a case of 24-ounce cans. If those are too heavy for you, the rollator is too heavy for you.The brakes work fine. Someone with weak grip strength might have trouble. You squeeze them bike-style to brake temporarily (without letting go). You push them down with your palms to lock the brakes so you can let go.The basket isn't described in the instructions, so it took me a few moments to puzzle it out. My instructions: Insert from the front ("front" meaning the direction you'd walk in), with the two hooks facing the rear. Rest the hooks on the crossbar where the seat hinges. There's a ridge in the bottom of the basket. Rest that on the forward lower crossbar. When it's in position, the seat partially blocks it from above when the seat is down. The raised seat reaches down into the rear portion of the basket.You'll need to remove the basket to fold up the rollator.There are a few other things to note about folding it up. First, the strap anchored to the crossbar is handy for starting the folding process.There's nothing to lock the rollator into a folded position. I find it's very eager to open back up again. I use an 18" bungee cord to hold the folded frame together.There's also nothing to hold the seat or backrest upright while the rollator is folded. For me, this is less of a concern than the frame opening up, but it'd still be nice if the whole thing folded up securely.It doesn't stand upright on its own in a folded position, even with a bungee cord on the frame. That's fine it it'll lie flat in a car trunk, but you'd need to prop it up against something otherwise.Another thing about folding is that you're pretty much stuck with lifting it when it's folded. Suppose you need to squeeze through a tight spot. You can't just roll it through opened up, so you fold it up with the intent of pushing it through sideways. Not gonna happen. The rear wheels don't turn left or right, so you're not going to be able to roll the unit sideways. Or suppose you want to push or pull the rollator forward while it's folded. That's not going to work either, because the front and rear wheels are going to rub against each other. You'd drag it more than roll it, so you're probably stuck with lifting it.

Excellent item with an affordable price. It was very easy to assemble because most of the work was done for you. It took me about 12 minutes to put together after reading the instructions. I have walkers to use inside the house but they don't work well outside (grocery store, doctor visits, etc.) This item makes those outing so much easier.

My wife has PSP and has a hard time using her walker with gliders on the back. She gets tired very easily after walking a short distance. So I showed her this rollator and she said she would like to try it. When we got it, it was super simple to assemble it. Well wouldn't you know it she just uses it all the time now, even in the house!! I'm so glad I made this purchase!!

What joy to be able to move again — with support and less pain! This little gem is life changing. And for those reliant on a cane, struggling to carry things even inside your own home, the solid seat makes it easy to move that morning coffee and toast with you — no juggling, no need for multiple trips. Great purchase. Just bought a second one to keep in the car for outside excursions.
