This Medline Simplicity 2 Rolling Walker features a modern design that looks as great as it performs. Light, strong aluminum frame with special caster design provides a great turning radius while big 8” indoor/outdoor wheels are made to handle even bumpy, uneven outdoor terrain. When it’s time to rest, this rollator has a nicely padded seat and height adjustable backrest which adds extra comfort. Other features include wide, easy to use handles and locking brakes, spacious storage compartment, and easy-pull handle to fold and take your rollator anywhere.
Q: Will it be suitable for a 5 foot tall woman.
A: Yes. I am 5'3" and the walker is great... I have had several types of walkers over the years and this is the Best one ever. Sturdy, strong, large tires, folds up to half its size and still easy to lift.. Its adjustable for height... I am happy with this purchase..
A: There are no swivel wheels on this particular model. the Medline Combo Rollator/Transport Chair is the one that makes it easier to manipulate around corners etc. Costs more for this model.
Q: THE WIDTH IS 25 ", WHAT IS THE FOLDED WIDTH ??
A: Honestly forget, you can get that information online.
Q: Do the wheels lock? Does it need assembly
A: Yes there are hand brakes already installed all you have to do is press down - documented in instructions.
Q: What is the cloth loop for on the frame? Can't figure out what to do with it. Thanks
A: It is so that when you pull upwards the sides come together and makes it easy to put in car or for storing in small space very handy.
A: please just go online put in the model and it will answer all your questions - front wheels not swivel
A: Sorry, don't think so. The upgrade "MEDLINE COMBO ROLLATOR/TRANSPORT CHAIR" ONLY needs the back rest to be swung over. Also the wheels on the original are not capable of making easy turns, upgrade front wheels do a 360 degree swivel making turning around corners, changing direction easy. However it is close to $90 more, so depends on your needs.
