Durable Rollator

Bought this for a friend whose walker had broken. Great option for replacement rather than waiting on medical options to be made available via her doctor. Sturdy, easy to assemble and operate. Great brakes, and the wheels provide great traction and stability over various terrain. Really happy, it’s so far such a helpful tool for my friend.

Bought for a friend that lives across country from us. They changed their mind on needing a walker and asked we return the item. She wasn’t ready for a dramatic change from cane to walker, like she thought she was. My mother had a red Drive walker very similar too this model and loved it. We saved hers, when she passed away. Sure enough a few years later, needed it for ourselves. My mom was a petite person 5’5” 120lbs, the walker fit her perfectly…it wasn’t large or bulky to push. My husband isn’t a large, average size 5’9” 175lbs and my moms walker works great for him. It was easy to reposition the handlebars for his height. Very sturdy frame, brakes well, wheels nicely over wood or tile floors. Folds up, not too heavy, fits great in the trunk. My 95 yr old aunt has a Drive walker and loves it. Favorite part, the seat and underneath carry bag. One thing we’ve noticed is most seniors use Drive brand walkers. They say it’s because of its reliability. Please, make sure you have someone who knows how to properly assemble the walker before using.

I am recovering from a stroke, and I have to wait outside some medical offices for my ride. Some of these offices don't have seating, and I can't stand still for over five minutes, so I decided that although I no longer need a walker, I needed seating. I decided to get a rollator, and the Drive Medical Rollator Walker with Seat seemed like just what I was looking for. The wheels roll freely and are big enough to go over bumps or thick carpet edges, the brakes work well when parked, and the seat is comfortable enough. I own several Drive items, and like the rest of them, the price for this rollator is reasonable compared to what you get for the money. Overall a good value for a good rollator with a seat (that, if you need it, has storage under the seat. I'm totally satisfied.

Granted, my expectations were on the lower end. This model is one of the least expensive out there. Back story: I broke my fibula a week ago and using crutches has been an agony. I’ve fallen over a few times already, that a friend suggested I buy a scooter or rolling walker. Since I did not require surgery and would heal somewhat quickly, I felt that a walker would serve my purposes better for the long term. Having a seat is so critical because of how tiring it is going from point A to B. You don’t think about it when you’re healthy, but when you get to point B you often need to sit and rest. It’s also a useful surface to transport things on, like a plate of food. Btw, I am a 55-yr old 5’2” 130lb. female. Immediate reaction: It comes out of the box 90% pre-assembled, except for the handles. Pliers help hold the screw as you tighten the plastic knob. It felt well-made and looks high end. The seat flips up to reveal the storage pouch. The brakes work well and it maneuvers seamlessly. The folding mechanism will need assistance, is a bit tight, but could loosen over time. After 3 days use: I realize that I wasn’t quite well enough for a product of this nature. I’ve been using the seat to prop my knee (like with those scooters), and while it’s perfectly doable, I’m placing much undo pressure on the palms of my hands, as you would with crutches. I can see why some walkers are designed with handles to support the forearms. It’s maneuvering and braking well, and the width of it is slim enough to easily pass through standard doors with a little thought. It’s been a lifesaver to use in the middle of the night when your balance may be off. Transporting food and drinks on the seat is so useful! Recommendations to manufacturer: the wing at the side of the handle grip (thumb-side) is helpful, as it distributes the weight of pressure on the hands. For my height I would increase its width and lift the angle slightly. The handle poles have loosened ever so slightly in its fitting (this could be due to my husband’s fear of over-tightening), so I am not sure if this is or isn’t an issue. But maybe a click/spring loaded mechanism, rather than a tightening screw, isn’t more fool-proof. The padded bar that goes across the seat (when brought forward) I have been using as a kind of handle bar to maneuver when I want to give my hands a rest. I am sure this is not its purpose, but it could be if small design changes were implemented. All this would add to cost, so maybe it’s not worth it, as the number one draw to this product is, to be honest, it’s price. Last words: if you are ambulatory, but needing a device to help with stability in the short term, buy this product! The medical stores (DME) are rip-offs! No need to pay $150+. However, do not use this in place of crutches, because you are certainly better served with a kneeling-type scooter. This is an excellent product for the price. My thoughts two weeks later: would prefer the handle grips and seat have more cushion. I use this only indoors and it’s working fine.

I was worried that it would be hard to assemble, but it arrived almost completely assembled and the handles and back rest were easy to put in. Please note that it is fairly narrow for sitting. So if that is a feature that will be used often, or the person is a bit "bigger" then a wider model may be better. Other than that, very sturdy, easy to use and brakes work well!

Much to our delight this walker was assembled by an aged female in about 10 minutes. I could not believe how reasonably it is priced and how easy it was to assemble -- I am amazed. It looks exactly like a more expensive one that I ordered except it has larger wheels and supposed to be safe on multi terrain. I don't intend to use it deliberately on rough land but often one runs into cobblestones and grass, and it's good to know that the walker can handle it. Many people we know are too vain to use a walker, but we do not suffer from this problem as we have observed far too many accidents by people who should have been using one but didn't. My walker is called my Lamborghini and although I don't need it 100% of the time, it is always within reach, especially at night. When you get to a certain age, you never know when dizziness might strike and I strongly recommend something as dependable as this walker. The sturdy seat is a good alternative assistant when you are shopping in a large supermarket or a department store, or simply need to sit down for a minute. The brakes handle easily when walking, but can be a little stiff in the park position. It is easy to fold, pick up and store in the trunk of a car as it is lightweight in addition to being very sturdy.

Quality product for the price. Easy assembly. Great for in house access. Folds, fits in standard size auto. Provides stability of balance. Adjustable and convenient.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! My husband broke his hip 2 years ago and this rollator walker from Drive Medical really encouraged him to walk. Whats great is that if the individual starts getting tired while they're out then can easily down as it has a fold down seat which is comfortably padded and comes with a back rest. That fold down seat also has a storage compartment for storing things you might need while you're out for the day. It has a brake you can set simply by pulling down the handles on each side. Drive Medical makes an extremely sturdy walker and even the wheels are of a good grade. Operates very well. Also comes in handy for the elderly when they need to use it to steady themselves on the way to the bathroom should they be unsteady on their feet. HIGHLY recommend!

Excelente compra. Llevo ya varios años con este artículo, muy resistente, me sirve perfecto. Muy recomendable.

I received the Rollator walker two days back( earlier than the expected date).The Rollator is exactly what I expected. I had some walking difficulty and I wanted to walk. The Drive rollator made it possible for me to take up a long walk. There were some concerns shown about its stability. After receiving the walker they too have disappeared. I have started using it and I am very happy.

Easy to set up right out of the box. It’s very sturdy but light weight, easy to lift. I have rheumatoid arthritis and waiting for knee replacements so it’s very helpful to make it so I can walk. The storage under makes it nice to carry things. Seat is comfortable for a quick seat. Only negative it doesn’t stay folded up very good so it can be awkward to put in the car but it just takes a little practice to make it easier

Well built with steel, very reliable, cute design makes it just like a toy. Mine has a storage case made of plastic rather than steel rods. Also very easy to assemble and fold or unfold. No tools are necessary to assemble. In my opinion, 20 lbs can be heavy if the senior is commuting on his/her own. The heavier weight is understandable because it is made of steel rather than aluminum. Other than this, no other complaints. Highly recommend and thank you.
