5 Stars Rollator
Wonderful Rollator! It folds easily for transporting and rolls well over uneven ground. I am very pleased with it.

The item was shown as having a wire basket under the seat but when it arrived it had only a canvas pouch.
5 Stars cuquis
My elderly mother, who recently broke her hip, loves it. She feel independent and happy to be able to move around with less effort.
5 Stars 5 Star Great deal for the Money
This Rollator walker works better than my old N**a walker, I have had no trouble with the brakes at all (a little note–we thought they were defective when we got the walker– it turns out that, at least while they are new, YOU HAVE TO FIRMLY PULL THE BREAK LEVER TOWARDS YOU,( PULL IT AWAY FROM THE WALKER, THEN PUSH IT DOWN. THEN THE AUTO LOOP BRAKES ENGAGE).
The walker is very light weight and strong.One small con would be if you are shorter than 5′6″ than the lowest handle position may be too high, this walker could easily work with someone 6′8″ or taller, as the handles go quite high if needed.
Note: It comes with a soft cloth black vinyl basket, not a wire one as we thought. This turns out to be much better for us as it is fully collapsible without removing the basket, and small things do not fall though it.
3 Stars NOT AS SHOWN
This walker comes with a soft collapsible basket NOT a wire basket as shown. My mother specifically wanted the wire basket. After two phone calls to Amazon, and promises to ship another walker with a basket, the problem has yet to be resolved. Too much of a hassle, I guess we’ll just have to keep it. I should have rated the walker itself five stars, as it’s very nice, lightweight and easy to assemble. The three star rating is for Amazon.
