Folding walker
A lightweight aluminum folding walker with 5 inch front wheels, where each side folds independently at the press of a button.
Why this one
Independent sides
Each side folds independently at the press of a button, so you can narrow the walker for a doorway without collapsing the whole frame.
Easy to operate
The buttons work with fingers, a palm or the side of the hand, which matters for anyone with limited grip or dexterity.
5 inch front wheels
Five inch front wheels mean you push the walker forward rather than lifting it with every step, which is far less tiring.
Rear glide caps
Rear glide caps slide over most floors but hold firm when you put weight down, so the walker stays put when you lean on it.
About this product
A two button folding walker with wheels at the front, and the aid most people are given first. It is for someone who needs to take weight through their arms while walking, rather than someone who mainly needs something to steady themselves over distance. If that describes you, a rollator is the better choice and we will say so.
How the two button folding works
Each side of the walker folds independently at the press of a button. That is more useful than it sounds. Folding one side lets you get through a narrow doorway or alongside a bed without collapsing the whole frame, and it means the walker can be folded with one hand while the other holds something steady. The buttons can be pressed with fingers, a palm or the side of the hand, which matters for anyone with limited grip or dexterity.
Wheels in front, glides behind
Five inch wheels at the front mean you push the walker forward rather than lifting it with each step, which is far less tiring. The rear legs sit on glide caps that slide over most floor surfaces but grip when you put weight down, so the walker still holds firm when you lean on it. That combination is what makes a wheeled walker safe to take weight through, where a four wheeled rollator is not.
Fit
Height adjusts, and getting it right matters more than most people realise. The handgrip should sit at the crease of your wrist when you stand upright with your arms hanging relaxed. Come into the showroom and we will set it in a couple of minutes.
