Drive Medical 10226-1 Trigger Release Folding Walker, Brushed Steel

I purchased as shown and have been very satisfied, then purchased a set of double wheels, satisified ! Then purchased a basket to carry small items, satisfied ! Did all of these things separately whereby I should have gotten it all with one purchase at the beginning, …..still…. Worth it all.

Very light and easy to use. The trigger handles are so easy to use to close the walker, a nice feature for hands!

I’ve been using a walker now for the last year and a half which has helped tremendously but my biggest issue was trying to close the stupid thing when I was by myself and trying to put it back in the car. My hands are very weak so just trying to push the buttons while folding the legs in was a real challenge. Not to mention the fear of pinching my hands in the process. When I saw the Drive walker with the trigger releases I hoped that it might solve my problem. I was also fairly confident in the Drive brand since we have owned several transport chairs from Drive. Plus, I liked the looks—not the old gray utilitarian look (although I do wish it came in pink!).When it came I was delighted! The trigger releases were a god-send—so easy (and safe) to use there is just no comparison!! It looks very nice, too. All in all, this is a great walker and I am so happy I bought it!I did have two small issue and I only mention them in case someone else may have the same problems: The basket I used on my old walker did not work with this one. The old walker had two crossbars in front which kept the basket in place once it was velcroed on. The Drive walker only has one front crossbar so the basket flopped backwards. I bought a new basket that has stabilizers that attach to the front legs, and that did the trick, albeit adding to the expense.The other issue was that the walker is extremely lightweight. That is good, right? Unless you’re like me and every once in a while put a little too much weight in the basket and then the whole thing goes crashing over! (And it wasn’t even excessive weight—my other walker and basket handled it just fine). After this happened a couple times I decided I had to do something so I bought a pair of wrist weights like you would wear for working out and wrapped them around the back legs just above the side crossbars and bingo! Problem solved! (But again, more expense.)Despite these issues I would definitely buy this walker again if for no other reason than those terrific trigger releases!!

My dad is so happy with this walker. He loves the blue color. He says it's really a nice color. I live in Maryland and he lives in Arizona, so I have not seen the walker in person, but it must be nice to have something other than the old ugly silver walkers. I think it takes the sting out of being old and having a hard time walking without support. He also likes this style of trigger release. It's easier for him to manage on his own.

I have 2 other drive walkers but they were too heavy for me to sling into the back seat …I got this one and the weight was just right . I did however buy drive swivel wheels accessory to put on the front and moved the front fixed wheels to the back …Perfecto.

Good quality walker. Arrived as promised next day.

great

nice product
