My mother is 88 and weighs around 90 pounds. She uses it when we go out and she will have to walk a distance. I usually get it in and out of the car for her. She is able to sit down if she gets tired. I had bought one that was large but this one is smaller and easier for her to handle. I think your mother would probably find it helpful to have. By the way, I bought the bag to put on the front of it for her to put various items in so she wouldn't have to carry anything. Good luck! Let me know if you need any other info.

My father is 5' 7", 83 years old and he loves the one I purchased for him. It has the seat that allows him to rest when traveling too far to make it without stopping for awhile.

The hight is adjustable.. it is so smoothe and easy to use that my 91 year old husband loves it even though I got it against his will. He didn't expect to like it. He calls it his Jaguar being a car guy all his life.

The steps are high. I would not recommend it for an older person with limited mobility.

Yes, you definitely can. I'm 5'3 and my Mom is 5'4 and we both use it with no problem. Plus it is adjustable.

Not sure about heights, but my mother is 5'3 and I'm 5'4 1/2 and it fits us well. We don't have to stoop over it when walking. The handles are adjustable.

I would say absolutely. My Mum is about 180 pounds and has no problem. She is shorter, but the legs are adjustable for a taller person.

My mom is 5 ft tall & 90 yrs old. She is able to get in & out of chair pretty easily. The arms are wide & she uses them to stand up. I do put a cushion behind her back to make it a little more comfy. I love that I can lower the back so she's able to nap comfortably.

Although this chair has good qualities such as height adjustments, rubber leg covers and handles in seat and back, it is lightweight. If your mother were to lose her balance while standing and holding onto the chair, I am afraid it might tip over with her. If she is sitting, I think it would be sturdy enough to not tip.

I would suggest finding a shorter cane. I am 5' 3" and find it to be a little long at its shortest setting.

My mother is 4' 11" and it works for her. But the seat height might be an issue. The handles will lower enough but the seat doesn't lower so it may be a stretch for her to sit on it. Floor to seat height, according to the specs, is 18 inches. If you see someone with one, ask if she can try it for the seat height.

Cane was bought for my daughter who has MS. She uses it primarily for walking but she says it will work as an assist for getting up.

I am 5' 3" and I was able to use this walker and there were even lower adjustments available. Good luck to your Mom!

My mom is 5'3" and is using this walker well on the 2nd to the lowest adjustment. It looks a bit high to me but she is supposed to walk close up to it so the physical therapist said this is the correct setting. But there is still one lower adjustment to go down to if you mom is proportioned differently.

My mother is only 4'8" and her feet touch the ground when sitting. You can adjust handles based on your height.

There is a cane called " Hurrycane" which sounds perfect 4 your needs. I looked it up on Google after asking a nurse what would be safest.

Hi! This turned out to be the perfect walker for my almost 89 year old mother. My mom is about 5'2" and around 100 lbs. It is made for up to 300 lbs. It was super easy to install and fit through narrow doorways. I think it was around 18" wide but I don't remember exactly.
