You open the lid of the box in the middle and pull up on a strap. The front and back come together easily.However, it doesn't catch in that position, so if you let go of the strap to grab another part of the walker it starts opening up again. Its a little difficult for me to get it into the car because of this, but it is doable. Otherwise, its been a great little walker. Also the brakes are hard to lock, but I rarely need to do that.

Hi,If you open the seat and pull up the bar underneath, it folds very easily.

I just open the lid of the seat and grab the bar (you'll feel it through the bottom of the bag) and gently pull up on the bar. The legs/wheels should then collapse toward each other. Make sure you DON'T have the brakes on before doing this as it makes it more difficult. Hope this helps!

Bought one of these for my Mom who used a walker. It folds up nicely out of the way and is very light weight (about 9 lbs) so that I can easily fold it and lift into the car when we are traveling. It is not meant for sitting. The middle is like a pouch for storing things.

Good question! It would be terrible if the seat had to be down just to keep the thing from collapsing. I leave the seat up most of the time. There are two latches that lock automatically when the walker is unfolded.

It's super easy. Apply the foot brake, pull up on the two side handles and it will just collapse and fold itself up on the ground. Make sure the lock on the side is clicked (which usually happens on it's own when it collapses) and it's done! It's really easy to flip open as well. Baby Gizmo has a good video on You Tube that shows all of it.

Yes, this walker does fold, but it is not a tight fold, so it remains the same height and width but is about half the depth. The basket is a bit of a problem. I took this on an airplane twice and used a bungee cord to make a secure package. When folded, it likes to roll around so I had to remember to engage the brakes. I still love the walker. It held two fairly heavy suitcases while I used it as a walker at the airiport, and the attendants took care of it during the flight. I also use it for toting stuff and resting while gardeniing. I wish I could say I love the way it folds, but it's better than not folding at all.

I bought this walker for my great aunt along with the Nova Ortho-Med Tray for Folding Walker. Here is the link to this item on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G7RCC2/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I do fold it after each use and lean it against the wall. It is a bit heavy, but I manage (I am a 50 yo 5'3" arthritic woman). I have bumped my knees with it a couple of times though. Unfolding is very easy. It isn't too bad if you are only carrying it a short distance.

It's very easy to fold. The only issue that I don't like is that the attachment to keep it closed doesn't always stay on. So what I've done is to use a bungee cord to keep it closed. Simple fix. Oh and I just love the stroller. My fur baby likes it too.

It does fold quite easily but it's not something we do often - only when cleaning. I'm not sure how reliable the folding mechanism is for continued folded storage. It is a wonderful treadmill that we have had for about three years. Good luck!

Be very careful, I was told it worked with the walker we have but it didn't and we didn't return it in their time frame, this company makes NO allowances for seniors with badmemories.... It will work with a folding walker as long as it is on there properly. Please get the dimensions from inside of one snap on piece to the inside of the other,then measure from the middle of the pole to the next. If your walker is one that has a bend in the front it will not work.

I have not had any issues with folding it. I don't use this stroller as much as I used to though. Sorry, if I am not much help.

I don't know what kind of a walker you are talking about. Mine is just a simple inexpensive fold up walker.

Its pretty easy to fold up but to transport it from one area to another takes some strength. I usually have to leave it in a stationary spot (open),or ask my husband to stow it away. Hope this was helpful.

Yes it does fold. It is a bit heavy so we removed the seat. Very nice walker.

It does fold easily but it would be big and awkward to try and get it on a bus. If you need a rollator type walker I would stick with the smaller size. I took the basket it off the front it really sticks out too far. I am female and 5'2" if this is any help.

Folding neatly is not a strong feature. You can lift it (easily) by the cross bars underneath the seat and the front legs will recede back and touch the rear legs respectively. This allows me to put the walker/rollator into the trunk or backseat of a car. However, it will easily pop open to its original position. Therefore, when I check it at the door of a commercial air plane, I carry (looped on a metal bar) a couple of velcro strips. So, once I have folded it I link the front and back wheels together on the left and on the right. Otherwise, the airline baggage attendant would grab it and it would pop open to its operating position. While folded and wheels secured it might fit into those overhead bins on car roofs (you have to try it for individual bin), but it certainly will NOT fit into the overhead bin inside of an airplane. Hope this is helpful. Rue Cromwell
