My mother-in-law is 95 & petite, probably 5'1" at the tallest- will this walker suit her?

The truth is I don't know. I'm 6'3", and it's a little short for me. (Of course, I've got the legs extended as far as they'll go, so with the legs extended their minimum length, it may fit your mother well.)

For sure it will be stong enough and should go short enough - has plenty of height adjustments, but it might be close for a height of 5'1"with proper adjustment (floor to wrist on straight hanging arm usually recommended). I'm 5'8" and 180 lbs. and I can go 3-4" lower. Will take all typical accessories (wheels, tips, etc.) as well.

I am 5'7" and 271 lbs. I got it for the sturdiness an size of it. The legs are adjustable however. I had one that I fell on and it was too flimsy and was not usable after that, so I researched and came up with this one for strength. I also bought the basket and the tennis balls for the back legs because they move the walker more smoothly. Hope this helps.

Hi, I am 5'2 and I dont think you would kick the stroller. I don't want to give you wrong information. I can't say you wouldn't kick it. I am sorry that I couldn't give yourself a better answer.

I bought for an adult 4'10" and it is perfect. It is for a short person but is wider then the usual standard adult walker because of the seat.

I'm 5'3" and it's only just comfortable. I have another much more expensive walker and it's no different! Still have to bend forward a bit. Don't know what to tell you....sorry I can not be more helpful

I purchased this for my 96 yr old Mom - (4'11" on a good day) and 104 lbs. She loves this walker and the seat for resting. Perfect height and width.

My mother is about 180 pounds. The seat is not super wide but wide enough. The walker is very sturdy.

Joan: I found that the walkers with extendable legs do fit most tall folks, but short folks need a different style.

I think it would work for her. My mom is only 5ft 2inches tall and she loves it.

I purchased this walker for my 5 ft mother. You can extend it somewhat, but it won't be tall enough. I bought this model because it was for the shorter person.

I don't know about the actual adjustment, I am 5'9 and the walker has a lot of flex when adjusted for me.This is a great, super light walker, but when extended starts to get a lot of flex and I worry about the stability and durability.You can measure your husbands dimensions from his wrist to the floor to define his minimum requirement and check the walkers maximum extended dimension to get a close approximation of how well it will fit him.But remember, in my humble opinion, this walker is prioritized for it's very light weight, not for strengthen or durability.

Absolutely! Great for my Mother (89 yr old), 5' max, 120lbs. Works beautifully.

This walker has changed my mother-in-law's life. She is 4'9 and 93 years old. She now walks and totes things with confidence. She loves the seat feature and the closed compartment instead of the basket that other walkers have. She calls it her Roles Royce.

This walker will be perfect for you, my wife is 5'7" and I had to drill an extra set of holes to raise the handles a little higher for her. This walker is ideal for someone 4'8"-5'5".

I would be hesitant to answer a question as to whether this walker would be appropriate for an 80 lb 4'10" frail woman, as I am not a nurse or doctor. It would depend..not because I don't think it's a strong and good quality walker, but because I don't know the person using it. Is she able to use the brakes? Does she lean forward when she walks? Etc. etc. For many frail people, healthcare providers suggest a regular walker..with wheels in the front but not in the back..because they feel it provides more stability. With wheeled walkers, if someone is not strong enough or aware enough, a wheeled walker can propel them forward and have them lose their balance. I would talk to her doctor before you purchase.

I am short (5 ft) and the Weil Knee Walker adjusts down short enough for me. I had another (I forget the brand) that I had to return because it was too tall.

Probably not. It's a great chair/stool but my husband, who is 5'8", found it too short as a cane for any extended walking.
