Drive Devilbiss R8 Blue Aluminium Rollator with Padded Seat and Vinyl Underseat Bag

Good quality sturdy easy to collapse to put in boot of car comfortable to sit on

This walker is an excellent purchase for somebody who needs a little extra stability when walking out and about. We bought this for use as an indoor and outdoor walking aid for Mum to give her a little bit of extra confidence since she became a little unsteady on her feet. Very easy to assemble, my husband had it put together and ready for use roughly about 10 minutes after unpacking it. The frame is very sturdy and solid but also lightweight enough to fold away for transport or storage. The legs of the frame are also height adjustable. It has 4 wheels with lockable hand breaks plus a padded flip top storage seat. We chose the blue walker which is a lovely petrol blue colour. The breaks can be used in two ways: 1》To use the breaks during walking - for example up/down kerbs etc - Simply squeeze one or both the break levers in an upwards motion and hold (very similar to a bicycle break) A slight amount of hand pressure is needed to use the breaks in this way. Release the hand pressure and the walker will move again. 2》To use the breaks for sitting on the seat. - In a downwards action, push both break levers until they click down in to place. Once both the breaks are engaged this allows for a hands free option and will stop the walker from moving. Again a slight amount of hand pressure is needed to engage the breaks. Simply pull upwards on both break levers to release the breaks again. Since Mum has been using this walker she has regained a lot more confidence. She is quite happy to once again take herself off out to the local shops without the constant fear of falling. We give this walker a 5⭐ rating. A fantastic purchase that has given Mum her independence and confidence back. 👍

Purchased for a 70 year old cancer patient with 2 fractured vertebrae. It's very easy to set up out of the box. You really only need to snap on the handles and the back rest and you are good too go. The brakes can be easily adjusted by 1 easy twist screw on either side. The brakes themselves are a metal strip with teeth sort of like a saw. When you pull the levers the spikes grip onto the rubber of the wheels which I suppose over time could cause chipping and damage to the wheels but so far the brakes haven't really been necessary to use besides when the rollator is being used as a seat. When you do use it as a seat the brake levers can be pushed down until they click which means they are locked on until you unlock them. It's very sturdy overall. The brakes are easy to pull for my 70 year old mother and it's all ergonomic enough that its comfortable for her to use. To fold it up you just pull up on a strap under the seat which is also used as a handy carry handle which given the light weight of the rollator makes it easy to carry around. The handles are height adjustable with many stages of height so it ought to be a good fit for anyone. My mum is about 5ft 3 and I'm 6ft and the handles can be adjusted to fit us both comfortably with more adjustment room left to make it smaller or even taller. The only downside is that the seat isn't padded. It might not an issue if you sit for a short time but you may want to store a cushion in the basket under the seat if you plan any long sits on it.

Bought this walker for my mother a very good high quality performance value for money comfort easy to fold walking aid easy to set on and we'll take extremely good and large weighted people performance and stirability of this product is 100% I would recommend this to anyone as you know everyone these days is trying to save and hope and pray to keep alive in this world

Well designed piece of kit

Having had a fall, Mum (97 at the time) was quite nervous about managing with just her stick, so we bought this... it gave her a new lease of life! Being able to stand up straight and hold something with both hands meant that she was much more confident and could be independent both in the house and outside. I am going to fit it with 'go faster stripes' or flame decals - she is so nifty with it! It is something that feels robust, can be sat upon when a little rest is required and carries lots of bits in the basket so the hands stay free. Having four wheels also means it is very stable - even though she isn't very good on the brakes! Can't recommend highly enough :)

Sturdy. Easy to put together and use. Makes me feel much safer.

I purchased this item for my Father who has COPD and due to this has problems with his mobility. He wasn't fond of the wheelchair provided for him, as he didn't like having to rely on someone else to push him, despite this i was still worried we would have to use a little encouragement to get him to use the rollator. I need not have worried! Whilst waiting for delivery, which was quite quick i might add, my Father shared a ward with a fellow patient who had a rollator much the same as this one, but without the braking mechanism. He had given it the once over and decided a rollator was just what he needed! This rollator is foldable, it is light weight, and the braking mechanism is a handy addition, as it gives the user more control and is especially handy when they wish to sit down, as they can lock the brakes in place and it wont move again until they are ready to start walking again. The little storage area under the seat is also handy. My Father says the seat is very comfortable and he likes the benefit of the backrest when he is sitting.

Lo compré para mi madre y lo lleva muy a gusto y muy cómoda, tanto para andar como para frenar y sentarse. La cesta es muy útil para guardar revistas, monedero y pequeños objetos. Es fácil de montar. Buena calidad y buen precio en comparación con otros que se venden en tiendas de ortopedia.

Per essere un deambulatore è gradevole esteticamente, molto comodo grazie al vano porta oggetti e soprattutto per la seduta. Per chi ha difficoltà motorie torna utile fare piccole pause e magari "riposarsi" sedendosi. Lo consiglio.
