3 Wheel Rollator Walker with Seat for Slim Seniors, Padded Backrest Lightweight Foldable Walker Ideal for Elderly, 8 Inch Tri-Wheel Modern Mobility Walking Aid Aluminum, Blue

I sent back a 4 wheel, 17.5lb Walkmate rollator and got this one instead. It appears that it will work perfectly for me. I'm traveling to Europe and there will be many walking tours. The all terrain tires on this should go over cobblestones and rough areas easily. I can get it up and down stairs because it is only 10.5 lbs. I fold it, tuck it under one arm like a crutch, and hang on to the railing with the other hand. I was unable to get the 4 wheel, 17.5lb rollator up and down stairs. This 3 wheel has a smaller "footprint" and is far less bulky than the 4 wheel. I would not hesitate to take it inside old valuable buildings. With the 4 wheel, I would always be afraid of bumping into something valuable.Putting it together was not difficult, but it did take some figuring out. You should probably watch the video. I like the big adjustment "wheels" rather than the "umbrella buttons." They are much easier to use. This 3 wheel model does not have as many adjustments as the 4 wheel model. Only the handles are adjustable up and down. The seat is a comfortable height for me but it, and the wheels, are fixed in one position. The rollator appears to be sturdy and well made, with nice even welds. The are no sharp edges. The strap on the seat making the rollator fold or lock, takes a little practice. Once it is folded,however, it does not drift apart like the 4 wheel. Once folded it will not roll, even a few feet, so you have to pick it up or drag it.Besides being a walking aid, it is a portable chair. The seat is not especially comfortable but it supports your bottom and gets the weight off your legs. I would not use it to sit at a table at a restaurant, but it will be very welcome when the tour guide stops to point out this or that.The basket underneath can hold a ton of stuff. Just remember that it makes it a little difficult to fold and you have to drag the extra weight up and down stairs. Suggest you use it just for a light jacket, a bottle of water and sunglasses. I would not put a purse or valuables in it.This three wheel model will not work for everyone. A friend told me that her husband cannot use three wheels because he has balance issues and tends to go over. For balance problems, or if you are a big heavy person, you will just have to make the 4 wheel one do.Suggest you get a zip closed cover for it with a handle. You can check it at the airport counter as you are boarding and not get charged a bag fee, and you can still have your 2 carry-ons. I checked with the airline on this. A cover will keep it from getting scratched or from catching the brake cables on something. (If you buy too many souveniers the bag can always be used as extra luggage, although without the rollator in it you will be charged extra.)

I used this walker for a trip thru Europe. It folded in half allowing entry into small doorways. It was lightweight enough to use on cobblestone streets and sidewalks. The seat was very comfortable as was the backrest. The large basket under the seat held a ton of packages. I couldn’t help but think that everyone I saw with canes really would benefit from this walker.

Note, this rollator is designed for someone with a medium to small butt, if you intend to sit on it regularly, keep that in mind before making a purchase. I love this rollator. I am a little heavy and my butt doesn’t fit perfectly on the seat. I sit sideways. Because the rollator is lightweight I don’t think it would be ideal to sit on it regularly, even for a lighter person. I didn’t buy it to primarily sit on, only when absolutely necessary. If I were to sit on it, I would make sure it was up against a wall or something. Keep in mind, it is weighs only 10 lbs. Would I like this rollator to accommodate my butt better, yes but I am sure to create that accommodation I would have to compromise its weight. If I had that choice, I would stick to this rollator. I love that it only weights 10lbs. I have balance problem and I am fearful of falling. I feel very secure walking with !the rollator, with a cane I tend to trip over occasionally. Because the rollator is so light, I feel I could run, with it. The bag underneath the seat is very big, Big enough to fit my 2 Chihuahuas.

Update: I'm lowering my rating from a 4 to a 1. This thing is a pain. The storage bag underneath has started shredding after 5 months. You can see in one of the images where I had to fix it. And the other image where it's shredding by the zipper, I had already fixed that and now it's shredding again. The breaks on one side have snapped on the inside of the handle so I can't fix it. It still creaks. The wheels collect SO much hair? And it's not my hair so when you want to clean it you need to take the wheels off to take out the hair. Which is a pain. The company doesn't have great customer service. The airport lost part of the cane clip on this rollator (that I use regularly) and they airport couldn't find it so when I reached out to walk mate to ask if I could purchase a replacement I couldn't get any help.I will unfortunately be buying a new rollator and it won't be from WalkMate.I would have absolutely given this walker 5 stars if it, after one use, wasn't making an awful loud creaking noise coming from both sides of the walker. It has fantastic storage underneath and it folds up great to stick in the back of the car. the cane holder attachment is great. There's a water bottle mesh pocket on the side of the storage back in the front which is really nice. Again, great walker. highly recommend. Just be prepared for it to creak

Bought this walker for my wife. She loves it! It's very lightweight but well built and much easier to maneuver than the bulky 4 wheel walkers. It has a storage compartment underneath and can be used as a chair as well. She's had several compliments about the style and design.

A notation IN the information paragraph should be made on the purple walker that it is a smaller dimension than the green walkmate. I ordered the green thinking it was the same as the purple and found that it is way wider than the purple, but after putting it together I did not want to go thru the trouble to undo what I had just put together....I am a 120#, about 5'4" elderly woman and the green walker is like a wide body , where I think the purple one is not so wide. Other than that it will do what I need it to do. So if u are smaller like me, go with the purple one, they are not the same!!! My rating was based on not enough info to make a sound judgement call between the two! I will rate on use and ease of use after I use the walk mate..
