Thank you for this! I’m only 25 but I need a rollator for my Ehers Danlos Syndrome. The rollator is awesome, my joints are super unstable; and it helps me with balance so much.

Great video! I would only add that every time you stop you put on the breaks even if it is for a moment. It may seem unnecessary but it will prevent falls if you get distracted when stopped and then forget it is not locked. Also handle height.

I love your slogan! "If you can't do it, adapt it!"

I got my first rolling walker today. It was more of a workout than I expected. I felt muscles engage in my back and arms. I will walk a mile with it at the park until I no longer feel the sore muscles.

Did i miss it but i didn't see any comments to adjusting the handle height - this is most important for getting the right posture inside the walker. also, no comments ot "A" frame designs (fold from fron to back) compared to "X" frame (European Rollators) that fold from side to side. the big difference is the A frames are much less maneuverable than the X - that is because the backward positioned handles and the seat keep the user more outside of the frame - like pushing around a wheelbarrow. X frames , with the handles at the right height, encourage better posture and are really easy to drive because we stand more inside the device. light years ahead of the A frames.

Trying one of these tomorrow. Given how much I have to lean onto sticks for balance I'm not that confident it's going to suit me.

I finally gave in and bought one at Walmart. I usually use a cane and I plan to keep using a cane for most places. But, needed a walker for the mall or big event with a lot of people. It was getting scary walking in a mall with just the cane, so finally bought a walker. I know when I first used a cane, I had to practice and learn how. Then, later, you finally can use it without thinking. I also know if you buy a different kind of cane, you have to practice on that different cane. So, now I'm learning how to use this walker. Feels scary now, but hoping it will be like the cane, that I will get used to it. I don't have to lean too hard on it (like I can with a cane), but will have to lean a little, yet, lightly. Right now, though, with the walker, I have to walk more wobbly than with the cane. I'm doing a little scissor walking with the walker. Is that okay? Maybe as I practice, I will do better, be more smooth in walking? In other words, if you have problems, you probably don't walk in a normal walking pattern with the walker as you see in demonstration videos. So, my "not-smooth" gait and a little wobbliness, can I still use the walker? I have weakness, balance problems and position sense problems, which also causes me not to walk normal. Different places throws me off and walking becomes harder.

Thank you. I have decided I need one but wasn't sure how to handle going downhill with a free-rolling walker. You have answered my question and given me the confidence to get one.

Thanks just got gifted a used one, so no instructions. We were trying to figure out how to lock the breaks, so this video was perfect.

I saw a stroller video here on KZfaq that suggested wrapping leg weights around the front legs of the stroller if the back of the stroller was back heavy to stabilize it. So I'm trying that idea out on my rollator for I sometimes hook the basket up on the back bars in my seat area to use as a shopping cart when we go shopping at flea markets. I do have a walker bag attached to the back bar, but it only holds so much, like my water bottle, a book, etc. And I sewed a fabric liner for the basket too and attached it with ribbons to the basket.

Thank you for leaving link on how to fold it up😀

Excellent instruction!

The front wheels of the walker are shaking as the tiny iron balls came out.Can we order the front wheels separetly and what is the price ?

My wife and I use a walker.

This may be a silly question, but can I sit on the seat of a rollator and use my right leg to scoot me? I have avascular necrosis in my left femoral head of my knee joint. I am going to be getting a total knee replacement in a few weeks. I am then going to receive a walker from the hospital after surgery. I am currently though having trouble with walking. Needing to bear weight on something. Sometimes I get unsteady as I lean nearly all my body weight onto my right leg. I tried out a cane briefly at Walgreens and felt even more unsteady. I’m not really sure what to do in the next few weeks. I have three small children, ages 6, 5, and 3, and school is about to start back, so I need to be able to do some walking here and there as we get ready for the start of school. Any suggestions?

IS this walker stable enough... wheels tend to reduce the stability and make it more effort on the patients side to hold it still as he puts weght on it for support......

how do you fold it up to put in the car? we've been told nothing!!

So how do you go up/down stairs with a walker with 4 wheels???? I need a walker and I have no choice but to go up and down stairs, I cannot do everything from my suite and never go out. You are not teaching us all we need to know about the walker.

MemphisBelle I have use of only my dominant hand. Rollators require two hands (to simultaneously operate the brakes). Is that true?

Just what everyone dislike. Another rollator walker that can't go up stairs
