Helavo 4-Wheel Rollator Walker with Seat – Foldable, Adjustable & Lightweight Aluminum Rolling Walker for Seniors and Adults

This rollator with seat arrived next day, thanks to Amazon Prime, and was well-packed and easy to assemble, following the clearly-pictured instructions. As part of my nine-month recovery from fracturing several vertebrae, I need to keep active, with hard surface walking. I wear a back brace, which enables me to be seated pain-free and it also reduces the pain when standing or walking. However, I can suddenly get a pain spasm in back and legs and need to sit down urgently. I can walk unaided, but have been advised to normally use walking poles for better posture. I was so excited to try the product, that I loaded the bag with a bottle of water and a folded walking stick. (This one has a four-point base and it seemed better to fold it and stow it rather than use either of the two very useful walking stick holders, which have tape loops and a base cup.) My walk started on very uneven badly pot-holed road, which was tricky. Once on a better tarmac or concrete surface, I was amazed at how the walking position gave me excellent posture. I had deliberately chosen a model where one does not need to hold off the brakes in normal use. The toe tabs were easy to use, to lever the rollator over a kerb, and brakes were easy to apply when necessary. When I wanted to sit down, a full depression of each brake lever locked the brakes effectively. To stand up again was easy, as the seat was not padded, although very comfortable in use. The back support is excellent. The final part of the journey back home was uphill and again on rough ground, which was not easy. I was glad to have chosen a lightweight aluminium alloy model. The walk of about one mile, (5,000 steps) on mainly level road or multi-purpose path (wide, solid surface, designed for walking, wheel-chairs or buggy/stroller use) took me about one hour. Indoors, a quick tug upwards of the handle in the middle of the seat brought the two sides closer together, to take up less room. In summary, this is a 'game-changer' for me, and overcomes my anxiety about trying to go for a walk in my current condition and not being near a seat when I suddenly needed to sit down. I have shrunk in recent years to a height of about 5ft 10in, and, at their highest setting, the handles were in line with my wrists, with arms dangled, which the manual states is a correct position, which was indeed just right for good posture when walking. The seat height is not adjustable, but was perfectly satisfactory. Although I can walk unaided, I feel sure that it would work very effectively as a walking aid. I feel that I chose well, deliberately avoiding those cheaper models designed only for indoor use. The distinctive red colour looks impressive and helps to warn others. Every bit of the design and construction is excellent and really good value for £126.99

Very easy to assemble and fold. Bag doubles as storage bag which was handy. Great quality for money

This walker has enabled my mother in law to leave her house to go shopping. Really well made ,easy to assemble and really easy to use. The brakes are on the back wheels which prevents any nasty falls from a rapid stop. The mobility is good as the wheels are a decent size.it packs down so that you can put it in the car.

This item is just what I needed. A friend let me use hers for a weekend and I found it very easy to handle. So, I bought one for myself and I've not been disappointed. It's easy to put together with easy instructions. Easy to alter for height and it folds well to fit in the car boot and store indoors. Plus the bag is spacious and can be fitted in a couple of minutes to the frame

Let's get this out of the way - in one of the videos it shows a kid bringing the box down to his grandfather. He skips down holding it like it's extremely lightweight. This is obviously an empty box! It may be lightweight compared to other versions, I have no point of reference, but my 85yr old mother still finds it quite heavy. The breaks are effective but the wheels can still slide when applied on smooth surfaces. Apart from that, the product itself is well made with a good range of features. Being easy to collapse makes it easy to pop in the car boot and the aluminium frame is strong. The seat is also strong enough and comfortable enough to sit on for short periods to catch breath. All round, not bad.

Superb bit of kit really well made and very nice to use,folds well and is easy to store,attached bag doubles as a shoulder bag all in all I can’t fault it

Great item easy to build

Solidly built fairly easy to put together although the pictures weren’t very clear. Once you have worked it out easily folded down to put in the car. I found it a little heavy. A stable solidly built walker.
