Health Line Massage Products 2 in 1 Rollator-Transport Chair w/Paded Seatrest, Reversible Backrest and Detachable Footrests, Sky Blue

Having read the reviews and had similar problems with this walker, thought I'd pass on my experience. 1) the height of the handles won't adjust. There are buttons either side of the upright tube. If you're not seeing any buttons on one or both sides to get the height adjusted, use a hammer and gently tap under the top handles . NOTE - you may scar the finish - but I found that it DID release the buttons from the very bottom and I was therefore able to adjust accordingly. 2) The hand brake. I had a whale's own time pushing the brake down to lock all the wheels before you can allow someone to sit on it without it rolling out from under them. They were very stiff and I was thinking this particular design doesn't allow for that important safety factor. Actually, it does. I used the palm of my hand sideways on one brake and shoved it down floor-wards. Then I did the other. It is just very stiff till you get used to it. I bought it for another who is unable to walk for more than 30-45 minutes on a good day, thinking it would provide more enjoyment and confidence for him as he loves to get out and about even if it is basic chores. This way, he knows if/when he does run out of steam, he won't get anxious looking for somewhere to sit in a big store. Its right there. We put a shopping basket on the seat itself so he doesn't have to haul a walker in and out of a shopping cart and now he just uses this instead of the cart. He likes that it doesn't rattle and shudder your teeth when going to car parking lot, unlike the basic standard walking frame with the 2 front wheels only. Is it a transport chair? I think for what I plan to use it for, - from car to doctors office, or shop to car, yes. In other words, short distances on even terrain. I suspect it will be hard for me to manouevre when he's in it, as he's 250, and this model probably needs a very wide turn. But when the alternative is having your loved one pass out on the floor of a store, (which he has done) it ticks ALL the boxes. 3 Another reviewer said - and I took his advice.....use a bit of velcro on the frame and the foot rests so they stay put when not in use. An easy fix. Thanks to the person who suggested that. 4 He finds it runs away from him a little compared to the basic walking frame, but he's getting used to using the brakes lightly to prevent that. 5 Also it is a little narrower than the walking frame. While the size of the frames are pretty much the same, the brake hardware on both sides reduces that width a little. Again, I think he will get used to it as he uses it more. Overall, an excellent solution at this price point, in my particular circumstances, and hoping this will be helpful to others.

I bought this to use on a cruise I recently took with my mom. She can walk but is not very steady on her feet, and endurance level is a problem. I needed something that I could use as a transport chair if she was too tired to keep walking on various tours, etc. It was a great solution for us! It arrived quickly and was very easy to assemble. It is great as a walker. The wheels are big and can handle uneven terrain well. It is also lightweight and easy to load in the car or to even carry if needed. We used airport wheelchair assistance for the most part, but once we got to our gates, she used the walker and the seat held her carry on items! It was no problem taking it with us on the plane. You just check it at the gate, and then they have it waiting for you when you get off the plane. We only used it a couple of times as a transport chair, but it worked great. A couple of things to consider. If using it as a transport chair, it is probably not the most comfortable. If a transport chair is needed for regular use, you may want something that has more back support or a softer cushion. Also, if using as a transport chair, there are no arm rests. This could be an issue if the person riding it needs arm rests to push themselves out of the seat. We just made sure the brakes were locked, and my mom was able to push up from the sides of the chair or by holding onto something nearby. It wasn’t really a problem for us. The chair “collapses” very easily by pulling up on the handle in the middle of the seat. It certainly decreases the width of the walker and makes it easier to store, but the back wheels still “stick out.” Basically, you can’t fold up the back wheels. I am happy we bought this!

The good part; they worked with me for over a year until I could figure out a tricky matter with the locking mechanism. The bad part; it took me a year to figure how the dang thing worked and the other thing they told me that was useful was to have a mechanic look at it. Five minutes later, it's 'fixed' (was never broken though). Basically, it did NOT look like the handle would pivot down in order to engage the brake (it only worked temporary by pulling UP). I put so much pressure on the handle to see if it would go down that I though I would snap the plastic handle right off. What I was not doing correctly was using leverage to engage that feature. My mechanic friend showed me that I needed to engage from the end to make it pivot properly. Still, the company service person continued to answer mail and suggest solutions and never gave up. Those of you looking at this, it's a little janky but not too heavy. The footpads fall off if you tilt wrong since they just sit on pins. The handles are a little long for pushing in wheelchair mode. But all and all, I'm happy to have it now that I know how to lock the wheels LOL

Every since I got this walker/transport I haven’t used anything else. I mainly use the transporting mode for sitting since it’s better with the bars behind instead of being up against your arms. Also easy to adjust the brakes.
