Customer Reviews of Drive Medical 8" Wheel Folding Deluxe Walkabout Lite Rollator with Loop Brakes, Padded Seat and Under Seat Pouch, Blue

Customer Review: Quality product approved by rehab physical therapist
Summary: 5 Stars

We ordered this walker during a family medical crisis in which the stronger, more stable of our parents experienced a fall resulting in surgery and rehab. This left the other parent without the usual helping hand for getting around. There wasn't a lot of time to research and we weren't sure it would be used so didn't want to spend a lot of money. We choose this model because of the bigger wheels based on other reviews that noted that the typical wheel size was only really satisfactory for indoors.

This wheeled walker arrived within a week. It happened that the phyical and occupational therapists from the rehabilitation facility would be at the house when we arrived with the walker and they asked to see it to be sure it was satisfactory. I was sure they'd find some defect, however minor, but they gave this model their seal of approval. The only warnings they gave were that the handles be at the right level for the user (they adjusted them to the level of the cane being used) and that we be sure that the user knew to lock the wheels before trying to sit down--adjustments required for any wheeled walker.

We had to buy a second walker from the local medical supply store on the day the injured parent was released from rehab. It cost twice as much and has a fixed metal basket that has to be removed before folding whereas this model's heavy cloth (canvas/vinyl) basked folds easily right along with the walker. If I remember correctly, one simply pulls on a strap under the seat and the whole setup folds, with the strap becoming a handle.

One additional note: we had trouble locating the parts to attach the handle bars. They were neatly packaged and tucked into the storage bag under the seat. Beyond that momentary glitch, assembly was a snap.
