My sister and brother-in-law bought this product for me (Thanks again, Pat & Larry). I have the blue, very pretty. My sister wanted me to have somewhere to sit when or if my legs go "out" on me or when my oxygen level really goes down.
I keep it in the car, so I have it with me whenever I go out. I don't have to push and drag it like I do a standard walker (which I still use in my house) because of the four wheels on the rollator I can glide down the hallways.
I am on oxygen and I need two canes to walk. This is very difficult for me at times and it makes it impossible (at times) to purchase items. Even if you put the stuff in a bag the bag moves around and you become less steady walking. Well, yesterday I was in the hospital to see my heart specialist and before going home I wanted something to eat. I went to the hospital coffee shop and for the first time in a very long time I was able to buy myself a lunch w/o anyone's help, people are so nice (God love them) but you do get tired of charitable assistance. I placed the tray on the seat of my rollator, it fit beautifully and it was very steady. I was able to buy what I wanted (soup included) and just rolled it to the cashier and then to my table. I know it sounds strange but this gave me back some of my independence and BOY it sure felt great. BTW, when driving to the hospital I saw a lady with a rollator who had two full bags of food on the seat and she seemed to be going along nicely, I haven't done this but it appeared to be another plus about this item. It helps you to carry bundles.
Having it in the car and ready to go whenever I need it is super! I wish I had his a very long time ago.
There is one thing the I believe this rollator needs and that is a lock to keep it closed when folded. It doesn't have one. When you fold it closed, it rolls back open making it hard to store. I plan to fix that with a bungee cord but I haven't tried that yet so I can't tell you how it works."..." Read more
