I am interested in this cart since I see it is only 12.7 pounds. My concern was reading an answer to a question that said it doesnt fold flat. I dont have a lot of room in my house and it would be nice to have it fold in half when I get to my bed. Also...

Hi Marilyn, I got this for my mother who has bursitis in both hips plus a torn tendon in her foot. Needless to say, getting around the house is not easy ... let alone going out. So this walker has been a TREMENDOUS help for her. It's lightweight yet extremely sturdy, well-balanced and moves well over tile floor, linoleum and carpet. The walker folds down but it will never be flatter than the width measured from the front wheel to the end of the handle. I just measured the walker and it's 18 inches high when folded. We have a Toyota Camry with a medium-sized trunk. We recently went on a trip and the walker fit in just fine with luggage for 3 people. (By luggage I mean garment bags and a big duffel bag that fit around the walker. When I do take my Mom out we always bring the walker and it's great for shopping as she can put items in the compartment under the seat. If she does get tired she puts the brakes on and sits on the seat. We love it!

It folds down but does not lay flat. It is probably still 10 to 12 inches high.

The cart is light weight, folds easily and fits beautifully in my trunk longway against the back of the back seats and I love it. It holds about 4 bags of groceries and rolls so easily. I have had others ask me where I got it. It's fantastic. I am guessing it's no more than 3-5 lbs if that....

It folds up easily, but of course not totally flat. There is simply too much bulk--wheels, seat, back---for it to be completely flat.

I would have to say no, I'm 78, and it would be to heavy and bulky for me. It weighs 12 1/2 lbs., when folded is 47" by 12" including the handle and wheels, when open it's 23" deep & 23 1/2" wide. It does come with a nice soft inset fitted bag for the basket itself, which can be removed, that could fit in a trunk with something in it to be removed if not to heavy to put back in the basket. I use mine to empty groceries from trunk to car then wheel the basket into the house to empty, it saves me many trips to the car. Hope this is of some help. Jackie K.

I have sat on this cart and I weigh 200 lbs. I found this cart on other sites it states 400 lb capacity. We have two of these in our automotive shop and I can tell you I would not want to try and roll it around with 400 lbs on it. They are very sturdy as we use one of them as a portable tool cart. Hope this helps.

It rolls easily on a flat surface, it uses whatever wheels are in contact with the ground. I haven't tried it on uneven ground yet. I like the cart very much but am still concerned that the wheels are too fragile.

It is a little heavy, but it does fold. We don't fold ours very often so it isn't an issue for us.

yes. folds up nicely. This is an awesome cart. very simple yet sturdy. My only concerns are that I will need to carry some extra pins for the wheels. they have a tendency of getting snagged on vines. and if you lose one on the trail. you will be carrying out a deer and a cart.

It can be "folded" to a point. The handle bars and wheels go toward the center of the walker so that it folds narrow. I'm not sure of the weight, but it's not light. One of the reasons we purchased it was so my MIL couldn't easily tip it over if she lost her balance. If it were too lightweight, it would do so. But it is not so heavy she (an octogenarian of about 120 lbs) cannot lift it.

We just got a normal cart from Home Depot (got it on sale for $25.00) and used stretchable tie downs to hold it up against the cart. the Cart is light weight and can hold and move an enormous amount of weight. "Milwaukee Hand Trucks with 7" tires" - Folds away nicely.

The cart can handle the weight, but since it's not very long, balance front-to-rear may be an issue. We use it for 12 footers and have friends who use theirs for 14 footers, so I don't think the additional length of your will be too difficult.

I purchased this cart for my 77 yr old mother and myself and it has been just awesome. It is very very lightweight and easy to get in and out of the car. It maybe weights 2 1/2 lbs. no more. We both live in apartments and it is a great assest when bringing groceries and laundry into the apt. I hope this helps in answering your question

It is pretty light and easy to fold. However the wheel fell off of mine after just three uses.

I haven't had any problems with mine though I only have a 42 inch and have the cart set about as short as I can. With the way the design works the extra weight should help stabilize it further. It really depends what you intend to do with it. If you are going to put this in the middle of your garage, set at max height with a pack of excited rottweilers roaming about, then I would at least suggest putting a couple sandbags on the legs. If it is going to be against a wall, set at a more common viewing height with a big dog or two bumping it on occasion then you should be fine. Now if you have a Maine Coon that likes to jump from the top of the bookshelves onto the TV, all bets are off.
