I tried this one. It's really great to go on a track with obstacles, but it is not easy to make it turn as you want because of these 2 huge wheels in front. Probably with only 1 wheel would be easier to turn. AND it is terrible in "inside" spaces like buildings, office, appartment and similar. I would say that this one only for outside active walking. It means it's necessary to have another one for everyday walking. At least for me.

This looks like too much work. All elderly or physically compromised people I know would be very frustrated by the size (especially as not a bariatric), tyres that can get a puncture and the fiddly mucking around for setting it up. Yank and clip and pull and slid etc etc. If you only set it up once and went maybe but to put in your car.

You're right it isn't for the elderly. It's for active people who want to go in the woods, through the fields and on the beach but need a walker. This walker is built for fun.

Capri Dragon I have to say I am both elderly and have chronic arthritis, I admit it is a little bulky to manoeuvre but it’s also light I find if I life the front wheels onto the back of my car and just push the rest travels into the car easily. It’s not perfect but it does expand the world for people like me so I find it’s well worth the effort.

I was lucky enough to pick up one of these secondhand and I’m delighted with it, the pneumatic tyres are so welcome as they soak up the road impact on my Arthritic hands and shoulders. I find the two wheels a bit troublesome to change from but mine is an early model things may have changed and the step up feature is also great. I find it easy to make smaller for my car and it’s light and easy to manoeuvre into the back of my hatchback. I can rave on about this for ever, it’s changed my life I can cope with countryside, beach and woodland and can now go on most of the walks with my family! Last but not least the after care service I have received from the company is second to none, honouring the lifetime guarantee!

No thanks, I'll pass on this one. Way to complicated for my taste, with severe arthritis i dont see myself getting much of a benefit from this type of walker. I will stick with my traditional rollator, folds up nicely, easy to put in and out of car. I have no trouble going over our gravel driveway and didn't break the bank to buy it.

At 2:47 she stands in walking position with her hands on the bar and there is the very same problem as with all the others we've checked out: It forces you into a hunched--over pushing position because your legs can't move forward, so you'll bend over! All wheeled walkers should have a simple option to flip the seat up so the user can actually walk _inside_ the walker, not behind it. At 7:13 you can see how far behind the walker she's walking and how far she needs to stretch her arms -- but a person with back problems can not walk in that position! So unless you're young and healthy, don't waste your money on such a bad design.
