After losing his balance and suffering a couple of falls, Dad graduated from a walking cane to a standard issue aluminum frame walker. The walker was a great relief to him physically and mentally. The next quandary was how to make the walker easier to use. Since we all live together, Dad faces all the hurdles a non-handicapped home has: thresholds, tight turning radius in various spots, maneuvering in and out of bathrooms, etc. An obvious solution was to equip the walker with wheels, but not just any wheels. The wheels had to be: 1. large enough to overcome normal obstacles/bumpy ground 2. non-slip so they won't run away from the user 3. swivel-capable so the wheeling function would not be restricted to straight line movement and 4. sturdy, of course It took a while to find these swivel wheels, but having purchased and installed them (very easy to do for the caregiver) I can definitely say they are well worth the money I paid for them. What these wheels or any wheels can't overcome is a user that leans heavily on the walker instead of using it just for balance/guidance. So any significant obstacles will require the user to have the strength to have enough strength and balance to lift/push the walker past the obstacle. As long as the user can supply the power, this is probably as good as it gets without a Hoveraround or some other powered wheelchair device. Now, periodic cleaning is still required, as the wheels will end up rolling through dirt and grime just like shoes do. So don't skip the maintenance for best performance!"..."  Read more

The last time I traveled, my rollator was damaged by the baggage handlers. The paint was scratched and the seat was cracked. This time, I purchased this bag to protect it. It worked perfectly and my rollator made it though the flights without a scratch. The easiest way to put the rollator in the bag. Remove the handles and the backrest. Close the rollator and put it on its side. Put the bag over it. Then turn it over and pull the bag over the wheels. I did not put any additional padding in the bag, although I thought about it. If we had taken heavy jackets, I might have protected the seat with them. As it turned out, the walker was protected without padding. I had the airlines 'gate check' this, so I had my rollator when I got off the plane. It worked like a charm."..."  Read more

This is a great addition to my walker. Don't carry a purse anymore just my handy pouch. It holds a lot and is so convenient. It will be so great when the weather is bad and I won't have to worry about the contents getting wett. Pouch goes with me all the time - never leaves the walker except for when I put my walker in the car. Pouch won't let the walker slide in when it is attached to the bar but it is so easy to take off and put on. Love, Love, Love it. When you are disabled, it really is great to find things that help you and this is a great help to me."..."  Read more

After shattering both bones in my lower leg, mobility became almost impossible. There are areas in my home where a wheelchair wouldn't go so I had to transfer to my walker. Without wheels and not being allowed to weight on my leg, my walker tended to hang up in the carpet, which caused me to fall and set back my recovery a few weeks. Now with wheels I can move more freely, no more hanging in the carpet. Since I've been allowed to start using that leg again, these wheels have been an even bigger asset by encouraging me to walk more. The swivel wheels allow more freedom of movement in directions not allowed by fixed wheels. The only problem is they are not made for outside use. My physical therapist takes me on walks down the street as part of my therapy. The glides on the brakes are wearing down so much from these walks that they're going to have to replaced soon and I've only had them about 3 weeks. Would I buy these wheels again? Yes, without hesitation. I wish I would have gotten them sooner. I probably would not have fallen from the walker getting stuck in the carpet. I would like for Invacare to develop one for outside use. I'm facing more surgery on both legs and will be using my walker afterwards each time. Wheels of this design for outside use would be outstanding."..."  Read more
