I had high hopes, but ...
My friend needed a walker that could easily be put in a car, lightweight and not bulky. On screen, this one looked perfect--and indeed, it was very maneuverable. Not too hard to put together EXCEPT that the length of the seatback bar did not match the width of the walker and could not be inserted. I contacted the seller, who replied in one day that he'd get the maker right on it. That was nearly a month ago; I haven't heard a word since. Strike 1.<br /><br />Then my friend tried it out. And we learned a lot about walkers. First, the wheels on this one, as on the simple frame walkers with no seat, were fixed in position, they didn't swivel. This means when you want to turn, or even slightly repoint the walker, you have to pick it up, turn it, and set it down. Very tiring, and hell on carpeting. Strike 2.<br /><br />And the brakes ... there aren't any. It's designed so that when you sit on it, the posts of the back legs (the ones that are forward when you're sitting) hit the ground and keep the unit from moving. Unfortunately, when you simply lean on the walker a bit as you walk (as my friend, fresh from back surgery, had to) the posts engage the surface (floor, pavement) and voila, you're stuck! Strike 3, and you're out!<br /><br />Bottom line: Well-made but poorly designed. Don't buy this.
