> 24 hourI got this rollator to use at home. My house was built in 1928. Even with a remodel to make it more accessible the doorways are only 2 wider than a 4 wheel rollator. I was scraping the corners everywhere. I wish there was a tray. I either have to ask someone to carry plates and cups for me or put it in the bottom of the bag and hope that theres no mess. Im happy with it for my purposes. If you need something a bit more solid and weighty for stability, get a 4 wheel rollator. Pros: Narrow enough to not scrape doors Light weight Has a roomy bag mounted between the posts Easy to collapse for storage or transport Cons: Not good for people taller than 59 or those with broad dimensions. No tray, not even as a separate purchase No seat and not safe for sitting

> 24 hourThis was my second three wheeler as I wore out my first and learned what would make a 3 wheeler better. This unit fit all those needs. It was bigger than my first one, more in front... needed more maneuver space in the bathroom, but doable. BUT, the brakes wouldnt lock the wheels. Didnt even engage the them. Followed instructions to tighten, could not make better. Took it to a shop. $25 later, the mechanic said he was able to get it to slow down but couldnt get the brakes to lock. He said I had to squeeze real hard. I couldnt squeeze it that hard. It seems the design wont allow a tool to adjust the lock nut. I didnt return it and I should of... others have seemed to have brake problems too.

> 24 hourthis is a beautiful walker - however, I have balance issues - so I need four wheels - the front wheel - since its free turns with every step - not stable. Therefore, regrettably I had to return it. But its SNAZZY! 8-)

> 24 hourNice shiny red. I added a piece of cardboard to cover the basket so I had a flat surface for a plate. Nice and maneuverable with the big wheels. Fits through narrow doorway. Lightweight, fits behind drivers seat. This “drives” much different than a 4 wheeler, and should Not be your first try at rollators. Brakes do not keep it from moving. Manufacturer needs to change tread design to crossword rather than around. I would try to remember these brakes are to slow forward progress, and not to use to hold it stationary. It was $100 cheaper than from medical supplier, even with a small reimbursement. Check prices first.

> 24 hourMy wife needs a walker. Her Drive 4-wheel serves her well but is a transport problem when going out. I drive a Fiat 500/Abarth. The 4-wheel just fits laying on its side in back, but when taking my standard poodle, we have a serious space problem. The 3-wheel can be stored on edge against the side window in back leaving plenty of room for the dog. I also like the lighter weight and folding of the 3-wheel. She uses the 4-wheel for all but outings because it is more stable and provides a seat.

> 24 hourOverall we like this item. However, the brakes dont work. Ive tried adjusting them, but there is no adjustment position that allows you to stop the wheels when you pull the brake levers. Since my wife likes it otherwise, she says she doesnt need the brakes to work. The problem is in the brake design. In an effort to give the unit an attractive appearance, they routed the brake cables inside the structural tubes. This hides the cables from view, but severely restricts their effectiveness. This is definitely a form-over-function design. Being an engineer, I always feel that first it must work. Then make it pretty if you must, but not at the expense of correct operation.

> 24 hourNeed tallest handle bar location, the handles wobble there, to lock open or close is difficult, very tight, can almost need a rubber mallot to move it, it is a bit narrow, need to practice so you don’t trip yourself up when turning, other than above , looks good, light, rolls easily, does the job

> 24 hourI just got this and already love it. I have the drive nitro four wheeler walker with a seat, and i bought this to keep inthe car when going out on errands. It is nearly 13 pounds Not the lightest thing but i know I will be able to stand by my car trunk and take it out using both hands, and am 93 years old with arthritis . It comes out of the box ready to use, unless u want to change the height off the handles. It comes in a big box and if u are like me u may find it difficult to open the box. My son did it for me and I had him put my four wheeler away and am using this inside. I had bought the four wheeler thinking I could walk outside with it and sit down when I was tired, but so far I havent been able to do that due to my arthritic legs. However, I can envision someone with good legs who wants to just walk outside using this very happily as long as they dont plan on leaning on it very heavily. For someone who wants to walk and really needs a lot of support, probably a four wheeler is better. I cant understand the price, I bought it a week ago , it was 145, now it is around 230. Odd. I hope this helps someone decide. Please feel free to ask a question if necessary
