How easy is the walker to fold or operate?

It is very useful if the walker can fold so that it does not take up unnecessary space. It is also useful to place in the back of your car or on public transport. The walking aid should help you get out and about or around the home as easily as possible.

How adjustable is the walker to your size?

People are all different shapes and sizes and it is important you can get a walker which will fit your size and height. Some walkers are very adjustable; the handles will adjust to suit your height; the seat will adjust to suit your height to make sure it is not too high or too low when you sit on the seat and ensure you are comfortable and safe.

Does the walker stand when folded?

A walker that does not stand up when folded means that it will need to be picked up off the floor and unfolded. If you are already having difficulties walking then this might make you more prone to falling over when you are trying to pick the walker up and unfold it.
