After having to go non-weight bearing due to a broken foot, I soon got worn out from the use of crutches and the fact that I had some near trips and falls from using the crutches. People who I knew had used a knee scooter, said that while they were awesome mobility tools, the way you had to push using the other leg caused some hip problems and leg pain due to your body being out of alignment - you push from the side. So I looked at some rollator walkers. I went with the Euro design as It honestly just seems sturdier that the traditional ones. I also wanted to had a seat attached so that if I got tired I could plunk down for a little break. I found this pretty red RINKMO Rollator Walkers for Seniors- Rollator Walker with Seat 8" Wheels and haven't looked back since. The assembly was simple as it just requires you to push in the wheels to the frame, but if you didn't have hand strength I could see it being more difficult as you have to push in the little silver knobs before pushing the wheel shaft into the frame to allow it to lock. Very straightforward assembly though. I love the bag on the front, and the easy of movement it allows. The unit is very light, and so that makes it easy to get out of a bind if you are in a cramped area. I rest the knee of my injured foot on the seat itself, and then propel around on the one leg. I use a gardening kneeling pad on the seat as my knee was getting pretty sore from resting it there. This unlike a knee scooter, allows me to push/walk in the middle of it instead of on the side of a knee scooter, and keeps things in line. What I like is that I am able to use that propped up knee to push the rollator forwards as I walk so my hip is still getting movement unlike with the crutches where it just stays stationary. Word of caution though ** Don't hesitate to use the hand brakes. I nearly slipped once due to taking too big of a step and now at every step I clamp down on the brakes so it helps to stabilize me. Great product, very well made, and I am so thankful to have found this mobility aid!

This works fine and rolls easily. My only complaint, and it's a big one, is that the seat snaps into place securely when you unfold it, but it's very difficult to fold back up. There's a cord that you have to yank on the canvas seat to collapse the rollator, and it can be a struggle to pull it up hard enough without using a foot to hold down the walker while tugging, or use a second set of hands. I wouldn't recommend it if you are small or don't have strong arms.

I love this rollator!! I chose this one after comparing so many different brands & styles. The one that I first decided I wanted wasn't available for shipping until December, and -- since I was ordering in September, and needed a walker asap -- that was too long a wait.

My main criteria for choosing a walker was lightweight, 8" wheels, a seat that would accommodate 300 lbs. (I weigh less, but just in case), easy to fold, easy to assemble, and some sort of storage bag. This rollator not only fit the bill, but also has a cane holder, which helps because I have to walk to get into the car after loading it into the trunk. I've added a drink holder (sold separately by a different company). It also has little pedals behind the back wheels to help lift & push it over curbs.

I watched both videos -- assembly & a man using the rollator. The assembly was even easier than shown, because the handles were already attached. It took me about 20 minutes to fully unpack and put it together. It's pretty foolproof. One tip -- if you are trying to raise the handles higher, don't use brute strength (which I don't have). Just push in the little button and then lift the handle & rollator, and let the weight of the rollator pull the handle up to the next level. I wasted a lot of time and strength trying to do it by muscle instead of the easy way.

One of the main reasons I chose this, after my first choice wasn't available, was because it folds like an accordion, not like a folding chair. If you watch the video of the man using it, you'll see that you can vary the width of the rollator, while still using it for support, by closing it just a little. This has already come in handy, as I'll mention below.

I did have to practice with the rollator, going back and forth on my porch, to build up stamina. I had been using two canes to walk, and this has me moving differently, and more fluidly now that I'm used to it. I was surprised, though, that it used different arm muscles, and my arms got very tired at first.

Recently, due to family health problems, I've had to do a lot of walking at a very large hospital. The first few times there I used my canes and it was so exhausting. Yesterday, for the first time, I used the rollator and it was a completely different experience. Not nearly as exhausting, even though I must have walked about a mile during the course of the day. The storage bag holds a LOT, and comes off so I was able to fill it the night before, after putting the rollator into the car trunk ready for a 4 a.m. departure to the hospital. My husband just carried the bag out to the car, BUT once we got there and re-attached the bag, he didn't have to carry anything.

During check-in, my husband was able to take the single seat and answer questions, while I was able to sit next to him on the rollator seat. I also was able to use the seat to hold his bagged clothes and transport them, once he got undressed for his surgery. With the canes, I couldn't carry anything in my hands; I used a backpack in the past, but it was very awkward putting it on and off. This was so effortless. I actually took a little walk voluntarily around the hospital floor, because it wasn't tiring. Also, the seat is wider than it sounds like it is, and there's extra room between the seat and the handles. I'm rather wide, and can sit comfortably. It's not padded, though. If I knew I would be sitting on it for a long time, I would pack a towel or small throw in the bag, to add padding to the seat. The brakes have a "parking" mode (push down to lock), which holds the rollator completely steady for sitting and standing back up.

About the flexibility. When I had to use the bathroom at the hospital, I already knew that it was an older bathroom, down a narrow corridor. But when I went in, it turned out that the handicapped stall was out of order. I was able to slightly fold the rollator, so that it wasn't as wide, and then back into a regular (narrow) stall. It was crowded in there, but I could use the toilet and get back up without a problem (the door of the stall did open outward, so that helped). For anyone with wide enough halls, but narrow doorways, this might be a useful feature.

Also, I haven't had to use it outside in the dark yet, but the bag has reflective tape around the front and side seams, and there are reflectors built into the back frame legs. For anyone needing to cross a road after dark, or who walks for exercise early or late, these are very nice safety features.

If I think of anything else, I'll try to post more, but I am in love with this rollator more than I thought I'd be. Also, I'm not that strong or steady on my feet but can lift this easily enough to load it into the trunk of my sedan. It's clutzy, but definitely do-able.

Hope this helps someone!

My 72-year old sister is uncomfortable walking with a cane or conventional sliding type walker on uneven ground.
I ordered this unit for her. She LOVES it! It is stable and easy for her to maneuver.
I was able to do the assembly and setup in 10minutes.
Good product! Good value!

I little heavy to lift up into the car. But I'm able to do it. Nice quality. On the negative side the pouch falls off when you put the device in the car. The instructions are useless. I assembled it from the picture. Also the bottom support for a walking cane falls off
