This is an outstanding product based on my one week of use. Got the Cobalt Blue. Easy handle height adjustment. I’m 6ft and the handles are at the #3 hole. There are a total of 5 adjustment holes, about 2″ apart, so quite a good range. While I’m not an engineer, I do restore collector cars for a hobby, so looking at this, you can quickly tell that someone spent a lot of time getting it right. Welds are really nice, rubber fittings are good. Although the unit is put together with rivets, all wear parts are held on with screws, so easily replaceable wheels and skids, adjustable friction washers. It deploys easily and the fold up function is a snap. I’m a big guy and this walker was very, very sturdy. I did not detect any weakness in any part. The size, once you fold it up, is very compact and easily moved around. To give this the highest compliment, whomever designed this either uses a walker or someone in their family does. It is that well made.

I have been developing a balance problem lately, mostly outdoors or in crowded places. I am fine in most indoor places. I bought a cane, but that was no longer cutting it. I am a long-time season ticket holder to our local minor league baseball team, plus we go to games at other ballparks, as well. At these games, there are always kids running around on the concourse who do not look where they are going, and I can’t just stop on a dime to avoid them and still keep my balance. It was getting very difficult to get to and from my seat and the concessions and bathroom. I have a husband and he was getting me food and stuff, but he can’t go to the bathroom for me; sometimes he has had to walk me to the ladies room and wait. I was not happy about this, and was wondering if we’d be able to keep our season tickets if it was getting that difficult for me to move about on the crowded concourse. And it would break my heart to have to give them up. I see people with walkers at the ballpark all the time, but they are all big and clunky. During the week, my husband works and I take an Uber to the ballpark and he meets me there. So the big clunky ones might annoy the drivers for making me move slower in getting them into the car, they’d give me bad ratings, and then nobody would ever come and pick me up anymore! I also wanted something that I could easily slide under the baseball seats so that it is not in anybody’s way. I wondered if such a thing existed, and when I searched on Galenus Medical for “lightweight folding walker” and found this one. I ordered it, and thanks to the magic of Galenus Medical Prime, it arrived on Wednesday. There was a game that night, so I was able to try it out at the ballpark then.The walker comes fully assembled, in a rather large box, which I have not thrown out yet because my rather large cat likes to sit in it. The only thing you might need to do once it is out of the box is adjust the handles to your height. I am 5′ 10″, and one of the selling points of this walker was that it can fit someone up to 6′ 8″. I didn’t have to adjust the handles all the way up, so it probably really would work for a person over 6′. I also ordered the Drive Medical Universal Cup Holder to go with this, so I could buy a beverage from a concession stand and carry it with me back to the seats without spilling. It was actually more work to attach that properly than it was to adjust the walker to my height.It is very lightweight. It folds up about as small as one of those umbrella strollers. Even with the handles extended for my height and the cup holder attached, it fits perfectly under two baseball seats. Fortunately, our seats are on the aisle, and it is easier to slide the thing in and out that way, than it is if the seats are in the middle of the row. But it will still fit reasonably well and not get in anybody else’s way. I can also hold it with me in the Uber well, without being cumbersome and having to make the driver put it in the trunk. It also fits easily in the back seat of our own car, a Ford Focus. I just don’t want to put my dirty old walker wheels on the seat of someone else’s car, though.As for actually moving about with this walker, it is super easy. Folding and unfolding it is a snap. Very easy to also make it narrower when going through a narrow space. I went to the ladies’ room and didn’t even have to use a handicapped stall. Also super easy to move about on the concourse, I can now stop on a dime if some kids are about to run into me. This walker has no brakes, but if all you need is something to hold onto to maintain balance, this should work for you. I actually think I am better off WITHOUT swivel wheels, even though I know you can order them if you want to,I will also add that this walker is not designed to be used as a seat if you get tired and need to sit. But I am mostly using it to move about on a baseball concourse so I don’t need a seat. So if you are looking for a walker to use in similar ways that I use it, look no further. Best $100 I’ve spent in a long time!

This is a great walker for travel. It has an ingenious design that allows it to fold up to a width of only 4″ x 6″ (and about 32″ long), and with its relatively light weight (6.5 pounds) makes it very easy to handle and easy to put into a car or take out (front or back seat, or trunk). It folds up very easily, and is equally easy to open. It is plenty sturdy for use as a walker — I would say it is very well made for its purpose as a light-weight, travel type walker. There is no seat and it is not intended to sit on — if you need a seat on a walker, this is not for you. However, if a normal seat-type or center-folding walker is too big/heavy/clumsy to get into/out of a car and you don’t need a seat, this is the walker you want. We’ve had those other walkers too — they took up a lot of space in the car’s back seat and I was not thrilled with them. And as another reviewer noted, this walker is narrow enough to fit through almost any door — unfolded it is only 19″ wide max. I got this for my 86 year old mother — she can walk short distances only (50 ft or so), and her balance has been getting progressively worse so that a cane is no longer safe — she really needs to use a walker now. We have a transport wheelchair that I use to take her places (doctor visits, shopping, movies, etc), and she used to be able to use a cane to get out for restroom stops, etc. So it became a serious problem when the cane was no longer going to be safe for these short walks where I could not help her. This Standers Space Save Walker (aka Standers Metro Walker) was the perfect answer, as it was small enough and light enough to carry on the back of her wheelchair. Her Medline transport wheelchair Medline Transport Wheelchair with Brakes, Red )has a built-in seat belt (which we had never used before), but I found that this belt would act as catch for the bottom hinges of the walker when it was folded. I got an additional large work belt (at Ace Hardware, or for example Galenus Medical.com Style n Craft 95-010 Black Polyweb Tool Work Belt which I strapped to the top of the wheelchair. I can slide the folded walker through the top strap on the back of the wheelchair, and then position the folded walker bottom hinges on the bottom belt (wheelchair seat belt hanging down the back of the chair) so that the walker’s weight is supported by the bottom belt, while the top belt keeps the walker in place. Not a perfect solution for keeping the walker handy with the wheelchair, but it seems to work ok. I can slide the walker out of the belt slings quite quickly, and also get it back in (in about 10-20 seconds) — just have to position the bottom walker hinges so they catch on the belt properly. Highly recommend this walker — for travel purposes, it is perfect — light, extremely compact, yet sturdy.
