Re: Wheeled Walkers

My mother has a 3 wheeler and it folds into itself as easy peasy for getting on and off a bus and for slinging onto the back seat of my car. It nevertheless seems sturdy enough not to skid. in the middle is a plastic pocket thing which she seems to throw everything in.

Re: Wheeled Walkers

My reservation on the 3 wheel version was its tendency to rock side to side accentuating my lack of balance, also with the 4 wheel version i have the advantage of the seat, i take it on public transport as it can fold in on itself, and fold flat if needed to go in a car boot.

Sorry cant help, but if you go into one of the specialist equipment shops the staff are usually very knowledgeable and helpful.

Nom, I have used a four wheeled walker with a seat and capacity below ideal for stowing balls etc for my dog. I cannot walk far so I tend to walk to my limit and then sit on the walker and throw balls for my dog to get her execise. It works. I wish you well.
