Got this for my mom who’s in her 80’s. Very sturdy and not to heavy. Glides well and was easy to assemble. The mesh bag is great for holding purse and other items and she has even attached a drink carrier to it for her coffee thermos. Loves the color as well. Easy to fold and unfold. Brakes well – Really good walker!

I sent back a 4 wheel, 17.5lb Walkmate rollator and got this one instead. It appears that it will work perfectly for me. I’m traveling to Europe and there will be many walking tours. The all terrain tires on this should go over cobblestones and rough areas easily. I can get it up and down stairs because it is only 10.5 lbs. I fold it, tuck it under one arm like a crutch, and hang on to the railing with the other hand. I was unable to get the 4 wheel, 17.5lb rollator up and down stairs. This 3 wheel has a smaller “footprint” and is far less bulky than the 4 wheel. I would not hesitate to take it inside old valuable buildings. With the 4 wheel, I would always be afraid of bumping into something valuable.Putting it together was not difficult, but it did take some figuring out. You should probably watch the video. I like the big adjustment “wheels” rather than the “umbrella buttons.” They are much easier to use. This 3 wheel model does not have as many adjustments as the 4 wheel model. Only the handles are adjustable up and down. The seat is a comfortable height for me but it, and the wheels, are fixed in one position. The rollator appears to be sturdy and well made, with nice even welds. The are no sharp edges. The strap on the seat making the rollator fold or lock, takes a little practice. Once it is folded,however, it does not drift apart like the 4 wheel. Once folded it will not roll, even a few feet, so you have to pick it up or drag it.Besides being a walking aid, it is a portable chair. The seat is not especially comfortable but it supports your bottom and gets the weight off your legs. I would not use it to sit at a table at a restaurant, but it will be very welcome when the tour guide stops to point out this or that.The basket underneath can hold a ton of stuff. Just remember that it makes it a little difficult to fold and you have to drag the extra weight up and down stairs. Suggest you use it just for a light jacket, a bottle of water and sunglasses. I would not put a purse or valuables in it.This three wheel model will not work for everyone. A friend told me that her husband cannot use three wheels because he has balance issues and tends to go over. For balance problems, or if you are a big heavy person, you will just have to make the 4 wheel one do.Suggest you get a zip closed cover for it with a handle. You can check it at the airport counter as you are boarding and not get charged a bag fee, and you can still have your 2 carry-ons. I checked with the airline on this. A cover will keep it from getting scratched or from catching the brake cables on something. (If you buy too many souveniers the bag can always be used as extra luggage, although without the rollator in it you will be charged extra.)

I ordered this rollator for my 86 yr old mother to use, keep in the car for when we are out n about going to appointments and shopping.This rollator seemed like it would fit our needs + comes in this pretty purple which is my mother’s favorite color and has a seat to sit on. We need something more compact for the car than what she has for her home which is big ,bulky and cumbersome to get in and out of the car. Plus, I need a rollator that fits into all 3 of my cars trunks.The Positives:I really like this rollator for its purple color option, stability, turns easily on dime, brakes are good, has a seat with compartment bag, easy assembly, easy fold down, lightweight and it fits into 2 of my smallest cars trunks, a 2012 MX-5/Miata with no room left for other things + a 2016 Scion FRS with room left for other things. Additionally, it fits into my 2016 Subaru Outback with room left over for other items.The Negatives:I did not care that it arrived in a banged up box with a hole.I was disappinted that It looked like a used / returned item, repacked and shipped out to me.When I buy products at full price I expect them to arrive to me brand spanking new unless I purposely buy it used with a nice discount price.Additionally, I was disappointed that it was missing parts, the 2 sets of knobs, screws and washers to hold the handle bars at the desired height. I noticed too that the pack List in the instructions do not list the 2 sets of knobs/screws/washers that are essentail to lock the handlebars at the desirable height nor the knob/screw/washer to lock in the front wheel. Plus, it lists 2 front wheels in the pack list which this rollator does not have, lol. It only has one wheel in the front.Other than the issues above, I do have to say it is a very nice rollator. I only gave it 4/5 stars because of the missing parts + appeared to me to be a used/returned item sent to me.
