Putting the legs on this Drive Medical walker was much easier than I thought. You just slide on the front legs (with wheels), and back legs, onto the existing walker legs. And you can adjust this walkers height by aligning the holes in the leg extensions with the locking button on each of the existing walker legs. BUT, here’s a very helpful solution I really want to share because I think it can help a lot of people: when I was reading reviews of different walkers, I found a great tip on [...] that showed me how to reduce the width of my walker by just switching the wheels! I’m going to try this walker for a while, and if the neuropathy in my fingers flares up, I can just get inexpensive, even more cushy walker handgrips covers to help. I guess, the only thing that I think could be improved would be to clearly mark the legs with wheels to show that they should be put on the front of the walker."
"The only challenge was when I bought skis and tennis balls to put on the bottom after seeing it recommended on Amazon to buy this together. Especially since I bought the recommended Drive products to go with this."
"Seriously much cheaper than all of the local places I looked, and it is the exact product."
"One trick I saw from watching the company's online videos was to change the wheels to the inside of the legs so it gives more room for narrow spaces."
"Lightweight, easy to maneuver and very easy to fold up and take on the go."
"This product is awesome dad used it after his stroke at a rehabilitation and all the therapist loved it!!"
"It is horrible to think that the medical device you purchase to make your life safer is the very thing that causes an injury."
"One side of this walker will definitely not fold."
The new Space Saver Walker from Able Life is the worlds smallest folding walker. Folding walker to 7" diameter for narrow passageways and storage.

PLEASE read the description carefully before buying this as your one-and-only walker if you need a walker 100% of the time and plan on using it 16 hours a day. It's the kind of walker you may want to buy if you have older relatives so you can keep it at your house for them (kind of like keeping a baby carseat for the grandchildren). By the way, I really wanted to shop locally, but the medical supply company rep told me that Amazon's price was very good. The rep was not familiar with this walker, but told me that he thought it really looked perfect for what we needed."
"It easily becomes narrower for doorways and folds to a very manageable size for the theater, restaurants, car travel, etc."
"The directions on the slides they say are for this walker "there are two tabs that connect the Skid to the walker leg tube. The front and back tabs have a recess area between the tabs and the walker leg tube.""

"Although this unit, a Drive Medical Steel Rollator is a bit heavier than its aluminum counterparts--the benefits of increased strength and more importantly--stability--in my opinion, more than make up for the weight factor."
"While not exceptionally easy to transport, it does fold up easily without the basket, and I can lift it into the back of our car with minimal effort."
"half of the spokes on one of the tires were broken."
"I was SO ecstatic at how marvelous it was in helping me move around that I immediately ordered a second one just like it to keep in the car (since it IS a bit tiresome to take up and down stairs whenever we go anywhere in the car--at LEAST a couple times a day, often more). But in my situation, living one flight above street level with the garage at street level and 2 half flights of stairs and doors to negotiate through to get from living quarters to car and again from car to living space, this model's weight and its wire basket beneath its seat became burdensome. AND the rectangular wire basket under the seat, roughly the size of a shoe box, is almost always a minor problem to take out &/or put back in place. We keep the aluminum model in a car trunk and the non-aluminum model upstairs in the living area."
"Love the basket instead of the pouch because I found he'd put undesirable substances in the pouch and it was gross to the point of throwing the pouch away."
"Very good quality and easy to assemble."
"Initially I loved this item - it's light, moves easily and safely and is a sturdy build. Now I'm wondering if the chemicals in the handlebars are carcinogens, especially since I recently found in the small print of the product information a warning that the "the product may contain chemicals known to cause cancer and birth defects.""
