<b>WHY U-STEP?</b><br><br>OUR INNOVATIVE BASE DESIGN PROVIDES UNMATCHED STABILITY, MANEUVERABILITY AND CONTROL<br><br> <b>Stability:<b/><br><br>Our patented U-shaped base is ultra-stable and surrounds you to prevent you from falling! Unlike other walkers, the U-Step has a solid welded base that does not wiggle, so you will feel very secure when walking. The majority of the weight of the U-Step is in the base, which provides you with a low center of gravity for greater stability. In addition, the “U” shaped base surrounds you and braces you in every direction from falling. You feel as stable as you would feel holding onto another person’s arm.  Other walkers only partially brace you from falling.<br><br><b>Control & Maneuverability:<b/><br><br>With turning wheels placed toward the middle of the base, as opposed to the rear as in other rolling walkers, the U-Step 2 turns around in 29 inches, as compared to 50 inches for most other advanced walkers. This will allow you to turn in tight indoor areas, such as washrooms, kitchens, and hallways. At 23 inches wide, the U-Step 2 also enables walking through narrow doorways.<br><br><b>Optional Weights:<b/><br><br>Although the U-Step is very stable, we offer weights as an accessory to increase the stability of the walker.  These weights easily secure to the base of the U-Step 2 with Velcro straps.
