Drive Medical10215RD-1 Bariatric Foldable Rollator Walker with Seat, Red

I have been using rollators for years. First one lasted almost 2 years, second lasted about 1 year. This last one I bought end of May. Front wheel assembly gone pieces of bearing everywhere, worried about puppies eating parts.If you use it once in a while it would be okay but I don't recommend everyday usage.

Theme parks seem to get tougher over the years, you know? I've rented scooters twice in previous trips to theme parks, and it was great having that mobility late in the day. I still have my feet and my balance, but not the endurance of a whole day of standing. With the rollator, I would have a seat whenever I was in line or waiting for a parade, a concert, or a clear sky. All of that standing...can't do that any more.This vacation I was going to be in a big walking complex of places (parking/Universal Orlando/Islands of Adventure/CityWalk/parking). The choice was: four days of deposits, renting, swapping between parks, possibly having them all gone by the time I arrived, etc -or- finding a way to get this into the minivan. It was an easy decision. And it cost less than what 3 electric rentals would cost within the parks, it was definitely there for me, and next trip, it will be again.Ordered it Friday, it arrived Sunday, and I was on the road with it Wednesday. I attached a couple of caribiner hooks for carrying shopping bags and dressed it up with some trim (shiny tape) and a little hard box sat in the basket if I found a delicate souvenir...and I was ready to roll.------------------------------------------------There was a bit of maneuvering to get it through security because the wheelspan is wider than the screening archway, but everyone was understanding about that. Simple to grab the bar at the center to collapse the frame, turn it to roll sideways through the arch, push the bar down to move the frame out into its full size again.------------------------------------------------Oo=--=\ <= on its side, the top | | |Oo=--=\ <=on its side, the bottomStowing in the back hatch was tricky to figure out, but what I did was to put my road-kit and an empty icechest in the well behind the third seat, collapsed the frame and loaded it on that platform, on its side, slightly tilted against the seatback with its handles pointing into the cabin (away from the window, suspended over the sides of the platform), and looped the thirdseat shoulderstrap around the top folded wheels. Might add a bungee cord in the future, and possibly a movers blanket for cushion, but this was enough to travel the 600+ miles of turnpikes and interstates. My platform was to avoid having to lift it up and over the well wall (just lift from the ground to my shoulder, turn, and plant it; grab hold, brace against shoulder, turn, and lower to ground).------------------------------------------------I like my Drive Medical 10215BL-1 Go-Lite Rollator Oversize, Blue. I'm a 52yo female, 5'3" I think at last measure, and don't fit in a smaller rollator. Finicky back, fallen arches, etc. Not too much to handle. Useful.

I have an older version of this and love it. I am tall (6') and it may not work as well for shorter people. I am very heavy and it is sturdy enough for me. It goes together easily. I have flown with mine and the fact that it doesn't have a way to hook it folded can be a pain but it was so nice to have in airports. It is wide for some doors and you have to half fold it and go sideways.As much as I love my older version, it is wearing out so I ordered a new one. This one came damaged. I noticed part of the damage and chose to purchase replacement parts through a support site Amazon recommended. I set the rollator to the side and waited for delivery of the replacement part before putting it all together.The replacements worked and the company I dealt with was great except I was now out extra money.When I got the replacement seat brackets and went to put the whole thing together, I saw that a brake was bent. Because I dealt with the minor damage myself, I went past the date to return it. Learn from my mistake and be sure to check them thoroughly for damage to all parts immediately.

I’m 70 now and have a bad hip, have been walking with canes, decided I’d try this particular walker based on the recommendation of a friend who has this same model. Assembly was fairly easy, the folding is not as simple. It’s a bit heavy and awkward to say it’s “easy” to fold. I like sitting on it, it’s a great height for me (5’7”) and the little basket under the seat is handy. It’s a bit wide for my house so I keep it on my enclosed patio and use it to go back and forth to the garden. I wanted to try using a walker like this but the ones I looked at were more than double the price! Not sure why a smaller one would be more expensive but since this one was such a great bargain I got it, although the regular sized one would be best inside the house. I don’t need the extra wide seat but it’s nice to have a roomy seat when I’m sitting in my garden staking tomatoes and peas and watering the melons. Overall, good for my use.

This Rollator is built for big people. It is comfortably wide and rated for heavy people. I live near St. Louis, and when I travel to Albuquerque the change in altitude always makes me shorter of breath, add a bad knee and walking around becomes a challenge. This year I decided to try a rollator and I am glad I did. The husband of one of my nieces had worked in medical supply sales and recommended either Nova or Drive brands with large diameter wheels.I chose the Drive Medical 10215RD-1 Heavy Duty Bariatric Rollator Walker because of the specifications and the price. It was delivered quickly and I was able to do the minimal assembly in about 15 minutes. It is easy rolling, even on packed gravel paths and trails such as at National Monuments and botanical gardens. The seat is comfortable and it comes with a small removable basket under the seat to carry odds & ends. While not recommended by the manufacturer - - - I found that I could put my 2 year old & 4 year old grandchildren on the seat facing the backrest while I used the rollator to walk. They could lean forward on the backrest and enjoy the ride and I didn't have to worry about keeping up with the grandchildren - - - and it kept them close by.This rollator is wider than normal but fits through doors with care and it is heavier than most others I have seen. The weight is something to consider. If you can't handle a 20 pound bag of charcoal, this is not for you. It folds, with the basket removed, and is fairly easy to transport in a minivan or a larger vehicle trunk.

Received product. Only a few things needed to do before use. I required one for my knee replacement. However we noticed in the hospital the front right side wheel was bent and could not be used as is. The wheel was broken and loose. My family took it to a mobility shop where they changed out the front wheel and I was good do do.In this case I was lucky and they had these parts laying around as they did it for free.Buyer beware just because the wheels are on does not mean they are on correctly.

When I received it and opened the box it took only a few minutes to put the handles on and get using it. After a couple of weeks of use I did have the bearing in one of the front casters fail and the only issue I had was the local seller did not like that I had bought it online as opposed to paying 3x more for the same thing through them. I contacted Drive Medical and they were really good about getting the part I needed sent to me. That was close to 6 months ago and so far no more issues.Very sturdy and lets me get around a lot better and having the seat and basket has come in handy from time to time. Now that its getting nice outside I will try getting out more.

It gets me where I want to go, but I wouldn't buy it again. It doesn't fold well, and there's no way to store it folded. So when I'm not using it, it takes up a lot of space.The basket under the seat is very cheap, and it's fallen through a couple times.Having the break cables on the outside is VERY inconvenient, they are constantly getting caught on doorknobs and stuff.

Very nice walker. I am a larger woman and it works great for me. A friend of mine paid about $500.00 for hers and it is not as sturdy as this one. So this is a great price. Came very fast as well.
