Medline Lightweight Junior Lower Height Folding Walker with 5 Wheels

This is a first-class product. I needed this for a person who is 4'11" and it fits perfectly. I almost did not order because of some wonky reviews (pieces missing, 2 "left wheels", and sundry other things), but I am glad I did order it! I put it together without looking at the instructions. Turns out the instructions are not great, but there is not really much to the installation anyway. Pull all of the pieces out of the box/packaging and then open up the top half of the walker (the top half is fully assembled by itself). Fold out the arms of the top-half and set it on the floor before you start, and it will orient you to how things go together (2 wheels to the front, 2 non-wheel tubes to the rear). IMPORTANT NOTES based upon some of the comments I read prior to ordering: 1. There are white inserts in the tubes. These are NOT to be removed. Leave as is. The tubes will slide right over them. 2. While the rear NON-wheel tubes can go either on the right-side or left-side, the WHEELED tubes have a dedicated right-side or left-side. The WHEELED tubes can only go on one dedicated side. Firstly, the wheels must be to the outside. And the way you can tell if they are right-side or left-side is determined by the location of the adjustment holes and the push-button height adjusters (sounds more complicated than it is. Hard to put into words). They only work one way, so you can't really make a mistake. 3. Use the same adjustment holes all the way around, so it will be level. In my case, I started all four tubes in hole #4. Then size from there for the person who will use it. See the instructions for more details on sizing, and safety. ______ Bottom line, once put together, it is a VERY solid product. Two simple push-buttons quickly and easily collapse the walker. It is very sturdy while still being lightweight. Great value. Warrants more than 5 stars but that's all I can give! Read more

I needed a walker to help with my knee replacement surgery recovery. I'm 4' 11" tall. Most walkers are too tall and too wide for me. Due to some knee buckling right after my surgery, I really needed a walker that was suited for my height and width. This walker fit the bill. There are 7 holes, spaced about an inch apart, on each leg. The push button peg is easy to use and slips into the hole that fits your height best. Once I had the walker adjusted to my height, I found the walker to be sturdy and reliable. I also ordered separately, some walker gripper pads and glides to make it more comfortable to grip the walker and walk on carpets/tile. But the walker gripper pads and glides aren't a necessity. More of a luxury. The walker is really easy to fold and store. I plan on keeping it in the trunk of my car for those times when I'm running errands and my knee tires out on me. Read more

Very easy to put together. All you need to do is put the wheels on and adjust to the height that you want. Also it folds which is very handy when traveling. The physical therapist recommended putting the wheels on the inside to give more clearance and it worked great. For reference this was for an elderly woman 5' 3". I noticed that some companies they are too tall but this one worked perfectly for an elderly woman. It's sturdy, quiet, and of good quality. I highly recommend this product. Read more

Great walker and great for short people Read more

My child broke his leg and is non-weight bearing (NWB) for several weeks. He’s just under 5’. Walkers are easier to use and more stable than crutches especially with NWB on a leg. (I’m a PT). I looked for a walker to use and this is the same one my mother has. The description said “4-Pack”… I wasn’t sure if that meant 4 pieces or 4 walkers - but it WAS the latter. For the price, it can’t be beat!!! Kept one walker for my child and I took the other 3 to work for patient use. One side is a little looser than the other at the hinge but it does not affect the stability. He’s been hopping around the house and the yard without any issues. Read more
