Drive Medical R728BL Foldable Rollator Walker with Seat, Blue

12/8/19 update: a friend of mine who is 81 and has always been very active has recently been injured. I took this walker over for her to use. when I mentioned that it could double as a chair for her if she was someplace and needed to sit down, she said no,. she said it wouldn't work, because her feet didn't touch the ground, so she couldn't use the chaur to sit on. I looked for accessories for this walker and found none to support the feet. So, using the search term 'foot hammock', I found what you can see in the second picture. There are a group of items that people can buy to sit more comfortably on a plane. these products also work for this Drive walker that has a wide hook underneath each handle grip. I purchased two models: one that didn't work satisfactorily was just a single pad to place both feet on, and it was very uncomfortable for her. But you can see in the picture that the second model i purchased has individual foot cradles, and you can't see it but there's a long strip in between them that hangs between the hooks under the walker handle-grips. the storage space where the seat lifts up fits a thick jelly-like seat pad, which we move forward so that it hangs a couple of inches past the front of the seat. this puts the pad between the edge of the seat and her legs, which prevents the seat from digging into her legs as her feet dangle comfortably down without putting any (detectable) pressure whatsoever on her back. the little stirrup foot hammocks roll up and sit on top of the jelly seat pad, ready to pull out and use whenever she needs them. the stirrups have a connecting belt between them at the bottom, but we don't like it, and leave them disconnected so she has the freedom of movement offered when the cradles dangle separately. her seat equipment is with her all the time, and this walker now CAN double as a seat because her feet have support in the space of a moment. the foot cradle hammock product that worked for her, that you can see in the picture, is: GIMSUN Airplane Footrest Travel Foot Hammock for Flight Bus Train Office Home-Plus 1×Sleep Mask, 1× Foot Rest Flight: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07ZJZVVZ7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. you can easily adjust the straps to whatever length is needed. i was so pleased with the result that i wanted to post it with pictures, even though they aren't very clear.original review: initially, i purchased this for my mom in late 2013 when her heart went out, to use when she got home from the hospital and rehab center, but she refused to use it. it wasn't because anything was wrong with it, she simply refused to use a walker. but i always liked it and have kept it around just in case it is ever needed. then a couple of weeks ago, while practicing a cranial-neural energy-healing modality on a friend, i really needed a taller chair and thought of this walker. i tried it, and it turned out to be a perfect height while seated to position me about 18 inches higher than the head, and my arms can actually rest on the handles of the walker, making long cranial holds much easier! the big rollers make it highly maneuverable and easy to reposition while seated. i can personally attest to the fact that the seat on this walker really works and is comfortable.

After a few weeks, I find the rolator to be light and easy to handle. I can put it in the car myself. I also appreciate its sturdiness.

I ordered this for my husband who is suffering from cancer. It is a perfect choice for him because it holds weight up to 300pounds. It was easy to assemble and did not need a lot. I am legally blind and found it easy to adjust the handles to fit his height and add the bar in the back. It is not complicated at all. I like the seat and it is easy to fold up by pulling up on the strap under the seat/ it is not too heavy for me to life and fold up to put in the trunk of a car. It feels sturdy and has a good brake system, it is easy to use and gives my custom more confidence in walking without losing his balance. This was reasonable priced and was s great purchase for our needs. We bought the blue color which is very attractive too.

I just had knee replacement surgery and bought this walker because of prior good experience with Drive Medical products. This walker is a dandy. I bought this model because of the large wheels and the fact that my driveway is rock; the large wheels roll right over the rocks with no problem. What I did not expect was that I found it to be better in the house as well, both because of the steerable front wheels and the brakes; it is more maneuverable than the 'standard' type of walker. Also the convenience of the seat and the pouch underneath it can't be beat. As a seat, when I need it, it works very well. I just make sure that the brakes are locked before sitting down. And speaking of the brakes, they are quite effective and easy to use. The unit is VERY well made and VERY sturdy. The fact that it folds up easily and is fairly small to store is also very nice. Drive Medical has done a VERY good job with this product. Highly recommended.

I've had a total of 5 of these Drive Walkers, and they work pretty well. I usually had my primary in the house, one I kept in the car so I wouldn't need to fold and unfold so much, and a "garage" walker that could get dirty and marked up as I was putzing and projecting out there & outside. Unfortunately I'm primarily in a wheelchair now, but with my MS I always knew that was coming. One nugget of insight I'll add for those considering this walker is to keep an eye on your brake adjustment, you'll need to fiddle with that once in a while. I wish Drive and other makers of these things would just use common bike parts for the brakes so that the average person could work on them and keep them in shape. For example on this Drive model if the brake cable wears out you need to replace the right or left brake control, including the handle, at a cost of $27 or so. Other than my gripes about maintenance, this Drive Walker is a pretty solid performer, and reasonably priced as well.

This walker is everything we need for my tall husband, he can put items in the basket and take them with him, or sit for a bit on the seat, it is adjustable for him also. Great buy!

I am a 65 year old woman with a balance problem that seems to get worse the older I get. I have been unable to do yard work because of the uneven levels in the lawn. I decided to look into a rollator and saw this one on Amazon.com. Others I had seen were very expensive for something I did not know would work so I bought this one, the price was great, not expensive at all. People say "you get what you pay for" but in this case I got much more. This rollator is great, sturdy, easy to use and folds very easily to put in a car trunk or backseat and most important it has large wheels which allow easier acessability to rough terraine. It also had seat area with a lid that lifts to store things you will need on your trip outside such as clippers or water bottle. It has made my life very productive again. I can actually water flowers, pull weeds, fill the birdfeeder, without having to ask my husband who works all day to do it when he get home. Thank you Amazon.com for this quality product.
