    This walker is great for my daily walk! It goes over all obstacles effortlessly. The steering mechanism is genius. It will go where regular walkers cannot. Don't believe that other walkers can handle the obstacles outside; this is the walker you…

    Satisfied…

    Very satisfied with my new walker, good functions and sturdy when walking.
    Folds up with ease but doesn’t stay together particularly well when lifting into the car.
    I feel it needs a clip to hold it together, I have improvised with a bungy strap w…

    A great product.…

    I am 93 and was always a lively walker until a problem with my legs occurred a few years ago. That resulted in my walking with a stick - not very satisfactory. Rollators are not so common in the UK, and when my Swedish relative suggested one, I r…

    Walker…

    Beautiful walker. It runs very smoothly, and it is fantastic for walking. I can recommend this device any time. I would say that every part is worth its price. The only thing that bothers me is that the cork handles are always sticky to the touch. Wh…

    I searched the web and contacted Australian mobility aids companies trying to find an 'off road' rollator for my husband to use it around the house paddock on the farm. While he has a quad bike, ute and tractor for getting around, the farm, he'd had …

    Upsala…

    I can finally walk upright with my new walker and do not have to look at the ground to avoid potholes and the like. My young grandchildren call to each other to be quick to catch up with Oma. At 84 years old I find it a bit heavy to get into my boot,…

    Brilliant Product…

    After buying a Veloped Tour in 2014 I had no hesitation in purchasing the 9 er Rollator to help support me around the home. It is much sturdier than other walkers I have tried giving me the support to help with my balance and walking which is affecte…
