Drive Medical Rollator Walker with Seat - Stable Mobility Support - Height Adjustable - Durable Steel Frame Construction - Smooth 7.5" Wheels - Foldable Frame - 350 Lb Limit - Red

Granted, my expectations were on the lower end. This model is one of the least expensive out there. Back story: I broke my fibula a week ago and using crutches has been an agony. I’ve fallen over a few times already, that a friend suggested I buy a scooter or rolling walker. Since I did not require surgery and would heal somewhat quickly, I felt that a walker would serve my purposes better for the long term. Having a seat is so critical because of how tiring it is going from point A to B. You don’t think about it when you’re healthy, but when you get to point B you often need to sit and rest. It’s also a useful surface to transport things on, like a plate of food. Btw, I am a 55-yr old 5’2” 130lb. female. Immediate reaction: It comes out of the box 90% pre-assembled, except for the handles. Pliers help hold the screw as you tighten the plastic knob. It felt well-made and looks high end. The seat flips up to reveal the storage pouch. The brakes work well and it maneuvers seamlessly. The folding mechanism will need assistance, is a bit tight, but could loosen over time. After 3 days use: I realize that I wasn’t quite well enough for a product of this nature. I’ve been using the seat to prop my knee (like with those scooters), and while it’s perfectly doable, I’m placing much undo pressure on the palms of my hands, as you would with crutches. I can see why some walkers are designed with handles to support the forearms. It’s maneuvering and braking well, and the width of it is slim enough to easily pass through standard doors with a little thought. It’s been a lifesaver to use in the middle of the night when your balance may be off. Transporting food and drinks on the seat is so useful! Recommendations to manufacturer: the wing at the side of the handle grip (thumb-side) is helpful, as it distributes the weight of pressure on the hands. For my height I would increase its width and lift the angle slightly. The handle poles have loosened ever so slightly in its fitting (this could be due to my husband’s fear of over-tightening), so I am not sure if this is or isn’t an issue. But maybe a click/spring loaded mechanism, rather than a tightening screw, isn’t more fool-proof. The padded bar that goes across the seat (when brought forward) I have been using as a kind of handle bar to maneuver when I want to give my hands a rest. I am sure this is not its purpose, but it could be if small design changes were implemented. All this would add to cost, so maybe it’s not worth it, as the number one draw to this product is, to be honest, it’s price. Last words: if you are ambulatory, but needing a device to help with stability in the short term, buy this product! The medical stores (DME) are rip-offs! No need to pay $150+. However, do not use this in place of crutches, because you are certainly better served with a kneeling-type scooter. This is an excellent product for the price. My thoughts two weeks later: would prefer the handle grips and seat have more cushion. I use this only indoors and it’s working fine.

I love this rollator as it was already put together and easy to use. Very sturdy and light-weight, too!! The size is perfect too; especially if you live in smaller quarters like an apartment, where space is a factor.

Heavy duty walker, sturdy and stable. It IS almost 20 pounds and some strength is needed to collapse it and hoist it into your vehicle. I use mine for walks around the neighborhood and it provides me the balance I need and don’t get when using a cane. Rolls well, brakes are dependable, handles are easily adjusted up or down. I like the seat/basket to stow gloves, hats, phone, etc. Well worth the price.

This product great was was to put together rolls great the breaks works great Maneuvers great around my house and out and about love the basket very spacious to put stuff in the seats comfortable I’m 4”11 so the adjustments you can make with the handles was perfect it was packaged great and there was no damage it is A little heavy picking it up but the price was great Sell did a great job I would recommend this product and this seller to anyone looking for one

Good sturdy walker however it is not made for a larger person to sit on. The bars can dig into the person's hip area if they are on the larger size making it uncomfortable to sit.

I bought this because it was the top product in its class recommended by the Wirecutter people at the New York Times. Best $53 I’ve spent in a long time! The directions are high level but the rollator is easy to assemble - just arms with brakes (already attached and adjusted). I’m just shy of 6 feet tall so I set the arms in the last pre drilled holes for maximum extension. This device might not be suitable for very tall people. Make sure you align the black plastic washers on the outside of the brake arms so the curved surface sits flush against the brake arm. Well-built and not too heavy to lift. First road trip today. I walked three miles to neighboring village and about to return. For me with PD this is ideal: when my meds are working and I’m fully ‘on’ just need to hold handles lightly and the device glides down the sidewalk or road. I lifted over a few non ADA curbs and, best of all, I could sit down on the seat at pill time. No fumbling with meds or dropping pills while propped up against a post or building. The red finish looks great and helps with visibility on the roads and ped crossings. If you’re thinking of getting a rollator now is the time before tariffs bite. This product is made in China. Thank you Drive Medical for sourcing this and keeping the price reasonable !

This is perfect for my husband who has Parkinson's. I bought a very expensive one from our local pharmacy for his use and I bought this one to use in our home. It works just as well as the other one and it is more lightweight, compact, and easier for travel.

Good price for a drive product. The larger wheels provide more mobility.
