![]() Invacare Lightweight Rollator with 7.5 Inch Wheels Ergonomic Hand-brakes, Blue $180.00 I bought this for my mother. We are about the same height so I set it up comfortable for me in the handle bar height, for a 60" person I find the seat a touch high but not horrendously so. There's almost nothing to setting it up, just pop in the back rest, adjust the handles to the proper height and take the plastic off the wheels. My biggest challenge has been getting mother to use it (stubborn as two mules--doesn't want to be embarassed using it in public, would rather fall I guess). I find it light and easy to fold, only problem is with the handle bars attached it's a bit big to fit in the trunk of her 94 nissan sentra (and to take the handlebars off you have to completely unscrew a bolt with a large hand-turn knob on it--yes this is probably more reliable and safer but they should be able to come up with a more "quick release" type thing for here), i.e. I think for the price of these it could fold a bit more. If I had it to do again I'd get a cloth basket, may add that or make one myself. The metal basket is sturdy but you have to remove it when folding it up and that kinda defeats the purpose of a folding walker if you ask me. If you've got an older 50's house with smaller rooms this may be a bit large for use inside the house and tiny bathrooms. It seems very well made, paint job is pretty, the wheels are not solid hard rubber they are somewhat "grippy," the brakes work well but I'm a little concerned that after heavy use they may start to loosen up but we'll have to see about that (handles lock down to lock brakes or function as pull up brakes too). You need a somewhat large space to lean it into when not in use, it folds very easily and I think it's very light but the large wheels do tend to flop around a bit when you pick it up. If mom is putting this in her own car you might hear some complaining about it being hard to deal with. The large wheels are better if this is being used on the golf course, moving across a gravel driveway or just across uneven sidewalks period (our patio walkway uses paving stones and the surface is somewhat uneven). Before buying this one I looked at this one at our local stores, they were all over 200 bucks and I didn't see anything there that I don't see on this one for half the price, of course all those places were medical supply stores, this unit carries a bit more weight than some of the others I looked at. About the only thing I'd change is the basket, i'd switch to a cloth basket instead of the metal one. The handle bars don't have the odor someone complained about that I can detect. The seat is basic, padded and the back rest bar is curved not straight (pretty comfy to sit in), I was hoping to get mom out for a walk with it but haven't won that fight yet. ![]() DVD Copy 6 $29.99 Great DVD burning software... nothing special about it.
