Is the difference btween the regular Drive Rollator &amp; the Duet-- the 8" wheels? And the footrest / armrests?

Yes, the handles in the back make this easier when the rollator is used as a wheelchair. This is not as heavy as a wheelchair, folds up to fit in the car trunk, you also do not have to worry about finding a wheelchair when you go out. I did not want to purchase a regular wheelchair, they are heavy and more clumsy.

Will do! :) How funny. I am now actually looking at the Graco Quattro Tour Duo for my first primary stroller, just because it's cheaper and comes with cupholders, carseat attachments, etc. I looked at the Duoglider in the store and it was horrible, but the Quattro has better reviews and supposedly folds down 20% smaller. Looking at the measurements, it SHOULD fit... never know though. I'm going to try that one out this week. The boutique I went to to look at the City Mini actually had the Quattro Duo in stock but I just totally didn't even look at it, ha.

To my understanding, the standart travelmate only has 2 wheels vs the deluxe has 4 wheels. For me, I like the stability of the 4 wheels and I wanted something to make it easier on myself since I was traveling alone with my baby girl. My daughter's Chicco Nextfit was pretty heavy and I wheeled her around while strapped in so I liked that it was safe for her and that I could easily handle it with luggage. Plus, it had brakes which I found useful numerous times. I also liked the deluxe b/c the car seat never once touched the ground which was important to me since I like to keep my vehicles clean.

Mr. Williams I will answer your question with some comments. A. My Rollator is a Model 795B B. Its seat height is 21 Inches and not adjustable on this model. C. I understand that on some of the newer models the seat height can be changed with the use of spacers. D. Personally, I consider the seat height relatively inconsequential because I seldom use the Rollator as a "chair". For me it serves as set of "crutches with wheels".

My Medline is a recent purchase, and it has the 3-spoke wheels. The number of spokes is not an issue for me, but I WAS surprised to see that this is the first rollator I've ever owned that has plastic wheels rather than rubber ones. The plastic wheels slide like crazy on our hardwood floors, and this is a real issue for me because I have paralyzed feet. I heartily wish these wheels were rubber as my two previous rollators were.

I don't think there is any difference, except the storage case. You might have found some merchant who's overcharging for the item. Try searching other sites. By the way, I do like the space saving feature on on the BABHS40, but frequently when I take it out to use I have to be careful and hold the cover shut with my fingers so that the rollers don't fall out.

The weight capacity of this rollator is 300 lbs. I can also tell you, of the 4 rollators my father has had, this is the nicest one of all ( and what a great price here on Amazon). The integral braking system for rear wheels works better than all the others that have external breaking systems that stick out behind the rear wheels, in my opinion. Fit and finish is first rate... and NO, I am not affiliated with this company in any way.

I don't really want to tell you "yes", because I don't have the 2012 version of the stroller which is the new version, but I know that the differences between my version (2009) of the stroller and the new version of the stroller is the wheels, the brake (which is much better on the new version), and the biggest difference is the way the main seat reclines (also better on the new version). Aside from that I don't know of any difference between the versions, which would make me believe that the new version of the stroller will support this rumble seat (and I have not seen other versions of the rumble seat either).

They are exactly the same. I have two with a coaster brake and one without a brake that I purchased by accident. I had to be careful when I built up my wheels because they look identical. They both have 136 percent gear increase.

I bought this walker for my husband because he has a wide gait and when he used a regular walker he was hitting the wheels with his feet. This walker is the same as a regular walker, it is just wider...the height of the seat is the same for both. I hope this helps.

Interesting. I actually have no idea of what product you will (or have) received. From all I could glean, this rollator looked like the one bought two years earlier, but no. There were many subtle differences . The handles were very shaky and it just "seemed" less confident. But the wheels have not fallen off yet after 4 months or so. I just do not know.

Hi Cindy, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical 3 Wheel Rollator. This rollator is very easy to fold up and weighs about 11lbs which makes it one of the lightest rollators there is. However, If stability is a major issue it is advised that you look at a rollator with 4 wheels since 4 wheels provide much more stability. It might also make sense for you to look into a walker without wheels since walkers are made to be lightweight and can be more stable for someone getting into and out of a car.

I apologize for the late response! The Burgundy walker rollator was okay and I kept it as a back up. But I found that it was too large and bulky and It didn't fit through the doorways to my bedrooms and bathroom. The seat is very hard and uncomfortable when I sit down as well. The Blue walker rollator However, is smaller yet I can still sit in it it and it is also a comfortable chair and wheel chair which fits my needs perfectly. It can fit through all the doorways in my home, it's easy to fold up and assemble when I'm out and about as well as enables my caregiver push me with its wheel chair feature when I have bad days where I simply cannot walk. The Blue walker rollator in my opinion was the better purchase and I am very happy with it. Also, it was less expensive than the burgundy walker in price! I hope this helps! :-)

No... Not always features are plug and plug. I know I tried and really not worth your time, stick to the original when it comes the wheel portion.

I am not able to reply. The wheels seem to be diferent. The top part looks very much like the wheelchair88.com unit

The width on the handles including the brakes is about 25". Yes, you can make the rollator skinnier by lifting the lock in device towards you, if you take off the tray and metal bin, but be careful. If you get it too skinney, you won't have the help you need with it. My husband makes his smaller if an isle or place he is going is very small. When he sits in a restaurant, he closes it up and it fits right at the table we sit at.

I would recommend this product over the flying turtle. This item had additional features such as a foot-powered driving system, handholds, and a hand break. In addition, the seat is a lot more ergonomic and the Ezy Roller can carry up to 150 lbs.
