This Medline rollator walkers enable seniors or anyone with impaired mobility to safely walk with rolling support, or sit on the padded chair seat to rest. Unlike a typical walker, the rolling walker has wheels, instead of feet, so it rolls along smoothly with no lifting or dragging. When greater support is needed, or it’s time to sit down or stand up, hand brakes lock wheels securely for safety. When greater support is needed, or it’s time to sit down or stand up, hand brakes lock wheels securely for safety. When it’s time to move, squeeze the brake handles to unlock the wheels and you’re ready to roll. Special antimicrobial protection helps keep your rollator fresh and clean by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew continuously. (This product does not protect users or others against disease-causing bacteria.) For storage or transport, just lift in the middle of the seat and the rollator easily folds nice and flat, ready to fit in a car trunk or closet.
Well-built, sturdy rollator (Walker); assembly presents some issues. Very good on city streets. We’ve have a number of other Medline products, all of which proved to be well-built, sturdy and good for extended, regular use.The caveat is the required assembly. First, a person who needs a walker is not likely to be physically able to put this together. Second, whoever puts it together needs to be someone who can look at a product (and not the directions, which are inaccurate and lacking) and figure out what goes where. My home health aide is one such person, fortunately, and she…
Unclear instructions for assembly and brake adjustment Once it is all put together and adjusted, this is a sturdy and reliable walker. But assembly was more confusing than it needed to be, and there were no instructions included for adjusting the brakes.According to the instructions, each wheel was supposed to be labeled (front left, back left, etc.) But the pieces had no such labels, so I had to do a little guesswork to figure out where to put each wheel. This required squinting at photos of the finished product and then making…
Sturdy, stable, but a few points of concern This comes with some assembly required. It’s not complicated, but the parts are heavy, and I know mom could never put it together herself.The instructions for use miss one critical detail. If you want to brake, just for a moment, you squeeze the handles like a bike. I didn’t think mom could do that, but she had no issue with it. To engage the brake, to set it by a table without it rolling or to sit on it, push the handle down to a locked position.It’s sturdy. To make…
