can the height of the handles be raised as I am 5.8 and don't want to bend over too much.

Good question my wife has it now, so I can't check it for a week? She is 5,3 and I haven't heard a complaint and I am 5,11 and have moved it a few feet to take it to her and I don't remember having a problem? Contact the manufacturer to see if he has extenders or you could have a set built by your local machine shop, friend, etc. I would think they all are built to a standard height? But it may be adjustable? I checked the Amazon web site and see that it can be adjusted over a six inch range? It sounds good to me?

The handles are adjustable. During assembly you can choose what height you would like the handles to be. My husband is 6' and finds the height comfortable.

Yes, they can and by quite a bit. I'm 5.7 and didn't have to raise them as far as they are capable of going. I prefer near vertical position too because I'm getting over a back problem and need to be as vertical as possible.

My husband 5.6 . He has not ajust at all. He is using same as come with. You might be o.k. not ajust at all.

Yes...the lady using it is short and I had to really shorten it so I know that it goes up both via the handles and the wheels.

Not enough! I am 5'9" and I found myself having to drill new holes in the bars to get sufficient height. Otherwise, I either a) walked bent over which was uncomfortable and awkward, or b) had to walk using just the tips of my index and ring fingers. It was a tough job to do, and in the end I needed 3 more inches to be able to stand upright while walking.

I think you'd be fine. I'm over 6' and wish it could go higher, but the seat and bars should be adjustable to a comfortable position for your height.

Debbie, the handle on this 12A-A04A000, is not adjustable. I am 5ft 8in, its just right for me.

Do not lift it all the way to the the top. leave 5 inches to allow you room to pull the handle and go up an inch before it will come down.

I'm really not sure. I'm 5'7". I don't think there are enough adjustments to lower the handle 7". The seat will probably be too high for you as you can't lower the seat.

If the seat riser is just one that sets on top of the toilet rim then yes but the handles will not be very tall at that point.

No. There are no adjustments. I personally find that the height is fine. I am 5'8".

Yes. You can raise the handlebar BUT the lowest setting is already too high for my wife.

The handles adjust to 37 - 38 inches tall. My husband is 6' and he was a little hunched over when he moved mine. I have mine as tall as it goes.

yes , you can raise the handle bars . there are turn handles on each side that are easy to turn. however you only have about 4 to 6 inches of pipe to ease it up. be careful you don't lose the balance of the rollator. it is a wonderful find for me . have used it for over 3 years and wouldn't want to be without it.

Hello,Yes, the seat and handles are adjustable to accommodate anyone 5ft or taller. Thanks

I am 5'3 so I understand your question! The handle has incremental locking stations so it works fine for me.

Ruth... As long as the adjustment control is tightened enough, there should be no problem. The handles are easy to install. They just snap in. This seat is raised. That means it's a lot easier to stand from that position than a lower one. Good luck!

My handle height has been raised to a perfect 34" for me. I am 5'4" tall and I don't bend over too much. If it is lower I tend to slouch and do want to stand up straight .

Not that I have figured out. The handles are at a pretty comfortable height for me at 5'4"ish but probably a little low for my hubby who reluctantly pushes our kitties now and then.

I am 5'5" and the handles come up to my rib cage. My husband is 5'10" and he has no issuing with hunching over

I am 5'8" and have had no problems with the handle height. It seems sufficient when you are on the move...
