Carex Lightweight Folding Walker for Seniors, Portable Medical Walker with Adjustable Height, 30-37 Inches, Mobility Aid for Adults, Elderly, and Handicapped, Foldable, Stainless Steel Frame

Sturdy & strong. Helps me get around safely and independently. Helps getting up and down, can go up & down one step without help. Easy to put together, just a few pieces to snap together. Folds easily. Very light. Good price too. I thought I should mention a few things that make it easier for me to get around. I added wheels to the front and ski glides to the back. This was an inexpensive addition and helps me move a little faster while still maintaining balance. I talked about going up and down a step. This has been so helpful in maintaining my independence. Curbs obviously don’t have railings and I sometimes have to walk far to find a ramp. Steps sometimes don’t have a railing or often only have one which makes it difficult and unsafe when you are experiencing issues with pain, strength and/or balance. Now I can walk right up to the curb or step, put the walker up on the curb/step and climb up or put it down at ground level and step down and use the walker to support me like a railing. There are very helpful YouTube videos that helped me make sure I was doing this safely. I can also get in and out of my car by myself. I can push myself up onto the seat and use the steering wheel to help guide me into the car. The walker is so light that I can easily lift it in or out of the car by myself. I slide it in the car and place it upside down on the passenger side. It fits securely on the floor and I don’t have to worry about it sliding around and becoming dangerous or difficult for me to reach. Getting out is easier for me because my car is elevated a little bit and I can put the walker on the ground and lean on it to step down. I have used it in other people’s cars that are lower to the ground and I have needed help to pull myself up. I have also purchased a “door cane” that fits into the door latch and becomes a handle that gives you support to get in or out of the car. It is very helpful. This walker has also helped me in restrooms. In public restrooms one safety rail isn’t enough for me and most people don’t have a safety rail in their home bathroom. I found that carefully turning the walker around and pushing it all the way back against the toilet tank turns it into a safety rail. This allows me to safely sit and stand while holding on to the arms of the walker. I hope this helps someone, no matter which walker you choose. But I have had this walker for over a year now and it has remained strong and has allowed me to maintain my independence and safely navigate the challenges in my life.

Have been using for a week after Achilles surgery- am in a heavy cast and am non-weight-bearing for several weeks. Wanted something to give me some stability when going from the bed to the bathroom and it’s worked great for that- makes me feel safer than using my crutches. Also using it for something to hold onto getting up from sitting position and something to hold onto getting in/out of the shower. Feels pretty durable- wobbles just a little. Easily adjusted for my height. Hubs put it together in about 2 minutes with no instructions. So far so good. I’ve been using it for about 10 days. Pretty lightweight too which is nice. Grips on the handles are comfortable. Good grips on the feet as well. Overall I’m really happy with the purchase and it’s made surgery recovery much easier.

I wanted to get my own walker to have for having hip replacement surgery instead of the one my surgeon would give me after surgery. I wanted to be able to practice with it first. It’s a solid build and I’ve had no issues with practicing using it.

Only 1 flaw really: a little wobbly. Other than that, I love it. Easy to assembly & adjust. Folds nicely w/ safety locks. Double bars in front makes it great to strap on a backpack or tote. I purchased this because I can't use crutches; too clumsy. Just had some serious ankle reconstruction surgery and this walker is perfect for me. 4 legged stability is much better than 2 from crutches. Plus I have a backpack strapped on the top front bar so I can carry things like bottled water, soda, snack, etc. helping me be a little more independent. I strongly recommend this walker if you have issues with using crutches like I do.

easy to build. its very sturdy i tested it before giving to my mother

There was a small problem with one of the legs (it got slightly dented) but visegrips and leverage fixed that. I am 53 years old and disabled (ambulatory without a walker but sometimes use a cane). I purchased this after looking at the exercise DIP devices (a kind of exercise you can look up on Google). Those items are meant to be used by grown men for that type of exercise (which requires the whole weight of the person to do correctly) but their weight capacity was far less than 300 lbs and sometimes right close to 200 lbs which could be dangerous for some men. Although I am nowhere near even 200 lbs I thought it was weird that a senior walker would have a capacity of 330 lbs and be less expensive and be more sturdy than all but one of the specific purpose DIP exercise devices. I will be using this to do that exercise and a few more (raised push-ups which are easier than regular push-ups is one other exercise you can do if you take the leg extensions off). Later on in life I will use it for it's intended purpose, i.e., helping me walk. Enjoy the mobility and/or take my example and use also use it for some serious exercise!
