Get it
Great! A little heavy and awkward to get into smaller trunk. Was using an equinox for a recent trip and it fit in the trunk but little difficult to get in. However super sturdy can double as a wheelchair ( but you will be flagged in park if you do- can only be used to sit or as walker). Great storage walk through and comfy seat. Best one out there

A well built walker for a very reasonable price!
My 82 year old Mom already has a Drive Medical Nitro Rollator Walker that she uses inside of her home, but we wanted to get her a second walker for use outside of the home in order to keep her Nitro unit clean. This Medline walker was priced right and had a coupon as well, so based upon the good reviews we purchased one. It arrived well packaged and undamaged, and all of the wheels and handgrips were wrapped in separate plastic bags to protect them during shipping. The instructions were clear, but all I really needed for assembly was the picture as all of the non-attached components were color-coded so they would not be mixed up. After assembly I had Mom test drive it and she was very impressed. The wheels are slightly smaller than the Nitro unit, but they are still big enough for stability while going over uneven ground. The brakes work well and the walker has a solid feel to it. I like the padded seat and drink holder features that her more expensive Nitro doesn't have. The only downside is that when folding the unit for transport the handle under the seat doesn't always fold the unit and will lift the seat up instead. But overall I'm quite impressed with the quality of this walker for the very reasonable price and I would buy it again.

Sturdy and Stable
I bought this walker for my fiancee who has trouble balancing and walking. We received it quickly and it is very easy to assemble. The directions are pretty clear and each wheel has a colored dot that you match to the colored dot on the Walker frame making assembly even easier.I'm going to list the Pros and Things to Consider (So far there are no cons)Pros:- Heavy-duty. The frame, seat, wheels and brake handles are all well built and sturdy. No worries of anything bending or snapping.- Stable. This is (in my opinion) a heavier in weight than most other walkers. It's also wider at the base, just under 27" wide at the rear wheels. The weight plus the wider stance makes this a stable walker. The old walker was lighter and narrower. It would sometimes tip over if you hit a small rock or bump. This walker is a beast and hasn't tipped over once, no matter what it hits.Wheels - It has 8" wheels which is night and day compared to the old walker that had 6" wheels. They are a softish rubber. The walker is quiet on tile and the rubber wheels don't pick up pebbles or dirt from outdoors. You should be safe going outside and coming back in without tracking in dirt.Brakes - The breaks work great. I think because of the 8" wheels it has more grip when you apply the breaks. Even on dirt, my fiancee has much better control going down slight inclines because the breaks actually help in control.Outdoors - The walker does great on dirt and grass. It's also great on uneven terrain.Seat - The seat is well mounted and is sturdy. Its larger than most walker seats, I believe its 16" wide with 2" of cushion.Step In. The step in feature is great. The seat lifts up and the storage bag slides forward giving you room to step in closer to the cabinets. Note: This will depend on how much you have in the storage bag. If its full, it may not close enough to appreciate the step in feature.Easy to Fold. You can fold the walker by sliding the two yellow sections down and lifting up on the handle under the seat.Traveling. If you reverse the assembly instructions, you can fit the walker into a large suitcase. Disassembled, you will need approximately 20" x 22" x 9" of space.Things to Consider:- Weight. This walker is heavier than most other walkers. (17lbs). However, it makes it very sturdy for those that need assistance for balancing as well as walking. It may be difficult for some to lift to get up steps or curbs.- Width. The widest part of the walker is the rear wheels measuring in at just under 27". It fits in standard doorways, BUT please measure your doorways to be safe. Some older homes and manufactured homes have smaller doorways that might pose a problem.Last Note:My fiancee is 4'11". With the handlebars and wheels at their lowest level, it is a perfect height for her.We would recommend this walker to most anyone. The only two major things to consider is the weight and width.

Strong, Sturdy & Solid
Because there's not a lot of selection for children with special needs (or their parents) and the selection that is available is ridiculously expensive ($1500 for a basic stroller), I've had to get a little creative to offer my son some mobility without breaking the bank or my back. I bought this walker to use as a "quick trip to the store" stroller. My son enjoys being high enough while seated on the walker to see things as he would have if he were standing up and I like that I don't need to bend over so far to pick him up, like in a traditional stroller. The seat has a nice amount of padding for comfort and t moves around smoothly. It has a stylish hi-tech look, not so "medical" which I think is important - humans tend to be curious by nature and will often stare when there's something obviously medical going on, who needs it? The walker offers good stability and is overall a good buy. The downside: The walker does not go up or down steps very well at all and could tip over, causing a person to fall IF they're not using the back brakes properly while coordinating their movements over steps. For this reason, I would not recommend it for anyone with any mental decompensation. It is a little heavy, the price to pay for a sturdy walker, I suppose. I cannot see anyone who is frail being able to lift this in and out of a car independently. The handles are not terribly comfortable - the finger grips seem to be off a bit, but not so much that anyone is going to be constantly bothered by them. The wheels are smooth plastic, no tread whatsoever for traction. This has made it so that it slides across our wood floor instead of stopping completely. I will update my review in a few months when I have had more of an opportunity to use it as an alternative to a stroller and know it better. For now, I can say that it a very sturdy and strong walker that would be best used for those who are not frail, but just need some extra stability while ambulating or need to sit down often.
