Worthy performer
This walker was purchased a month ago to provide my elderly mother a better solution than two walking sticks. While she used to get by with the canes, she needed something with more stability, and this is most certainly a sturdy, well-built walker. The offset of the horizontal bar makes it easy to navigate stairs, as the front wheels can be placed on a lower stair while the rear wheels maintain contact with the upper stair. When the brakes are set, by pushing down on the brake handles, the rear wheels lock into place, so the walker won't roll away on an uneven surface. It is a little wider than the doors in the house, but by simply pulling on the webbing strap that's on the seat, it is possible to collapse the walker slightly to fit it through the door without compromising its stability. Once through, by pushing on the sides of the seat, the walker is effortlessly snapped back into place. Initial assembly is also a quick, straightforward process.<br /><br />While this walker may be pricier than other options (and admittedly, none of the other ones have been tried to compare performance), I find it was worth it. The peace of mind alone, knowing this walker will reliably offer my mother the support she needs to get around, makes it a valuable addition to the household.
