This is an awesome walker. We got this for my 98 year old mother-in-law, who reached that age by staying active. Unfortunately, in the last year or so, her balance has gotten worse, making it harder for her to walk places. She can use a cane, but that doesn’t work well for walks on uneven sidewalks when your vision is impaired.This walker provides the stability she needs, it rolls smoothly, and the brakes are easy to grip, even for an older person. It folds in half so it’s super narrow to store it. There is a handle on the seat that you jerk up and the sides pull in. To set it up again, you just push out on the sides.The seat has been very helpful. She can go on half her walk, the first part of which is uphill, and rest at the top by setting the brakes and turning around and sitting on the seat. This is well thought out and feels like a nice piece of machinery. I made a few adjustments for the height initially to get it where she wanted it, but that took less than 5 minutes; it’s easily adjustable.She doesn’t use the pouch much, because if she’s walking to, say, her pool aerobics class a few blocks away, she just rests her backpack in the seat. Obviously this unit works indoors and out–in snowy weather it worked well in a shopping mall to get some exercise.One tip. We set it out every morning on the walk by the front door so she doesn’t have to take it down the three stairs from the foyer where we store it. She can do that because it’s light enough, but we’d rather she not. Because she might take a couple walks during the day, it sits out, and a couple times it got rained on. That bothered me because it’s a nice piece of gear, so I got it dried off, and my wife found a clear stroller cover that fits it. So if there is any chance of rain, we leave it out covered. We’ve had it for a few months now, and it’s made quite a difference in her life, giving her the chance to keep exercising in a safe manner.

After extensive research, purchased this walker/rollator for 91 year old mother. You never know if the right choice, but hope for the best (especially since this is not returnable). Luckily, an EXCELLENT choice …mother loves it. It is well made, doesn’t have the cables hanging out where they can get caught on something (thank goodness – this is a really great feature) and is very maneuverable. Seat and adjustable seat back…comfortable. Nice little mesh bag to carry stuff.HOWEVER, its’ claim to fame (and deserving of recognition) is how it folds up and is still maneuverable and stable (I’m sure everyone knows it’s not designed to be used all the time in a semi “folded” position). An elderly person with arthritis and mobility issues (as my mother) can easily grab the handle in the center of the seat and lift…folding it such that she can roll it through narrow doorways (she also folds it into a narrow position to have it right next to bed …and then rolls it easily from the bedside to open floor area). Then, push the seat back down into locked position. VERY easy. I cannot emphasize enough how wonderful this feature is. (The first time you’re trying to maneuver a walker/rollator in a tight space, you’ll be grateful…and there are ALWAYS tight spaces at some point). She can also put things on the seat to carry them from place to place. She can sit in seat when in kitchen doing “stuff”, sits in seat and is comfortable out on patio when taking her dog out, etc., etc….Additionally, I’ll note that I can lift it into, and out of, the back seat of car (I’m 72) when needing to take her to doctor, etc. (that’s a 4-door car). Note: when totally in “folded” position, it stays locked so doesn’t try to open up when loading/unloading from vehicle. Just set it on ground and push down on handles and it will start “unfolding” and open up. Directions included with walker/rollator explain this.I did purchase a Nitro cane holder attachment (comes in 2 pieces … the cane “clip” and a bottom rest for the foot of the cane) as well as a “hook” attachment (S-shaped with Velcro) to hang her purse or bag on. I will note I couldn’t find a cup holder of any kind that would work (appears the Nitro “sprint” model has a cup holder attachment point). I ended up retrofitting the cup holder made for the Nitro Sprint model by using Velcro wrap, the bottom/foot rest of the cane holder (the cup holder sits on the cane rest and then I wrapped Velcro around the cup and rollator frame). Not elegant, but it’s secure. The cup holder also holds her over-sized cell phone. FYI – regarding the cane holder … the “clip” portion of the cane holder securely holds her cane so I was able to leverage using the bottom/foot rest of the cane holder when doing my retrofit for the cup holder.Quick point … observe the main frame is not round (so it can hide cables), thus it’s more difficult to find generally available walker/rollator accessory attachments so keep that in mind. However, I could either get what I needed, or came up with a retrofit. Like the other features so much I’d still buy it again.So, the manufacturer let us down on a cup holder mount for this model, but I figured out a workaround and didn’t take a star off since because of it. (Maybe they’ll read this and fix their faux pas. LOL)I seldom write reviews, but felt this was deserving of it (and the price was reasonable). Final note … waited over a month, with my mother constantly using it, before writing review.

I love this walker manufactured very well. It’s stylish and I get compliments on it all the time. The wheels are very good, Supporters my weight and I love the adjustable handlebars. Stores nicely in the trunk of my car too. Totally worth the extra money.
