Do the brakes click into a locking position so that the wheels can be locked in place when the user wants to sit?

If you look at the top of the back wheels is a lever you use to lock those wheels from rolling.

I purchased this fro my Dad after he used one in rehab. Yes the breaks do lock the wheels. My dad loves it. As a online store owner myself I can say the product is of good quality and was delivered on time. Regards, Tracy Picky Picky me dot com

no there isn't a lock, but the front wheels do turn and that might keep it from rolling.

The hand brakes do not lock. They are also not very good. You will need to use your good foot/leg on an incline, either way, to stop your momentum. Also, the 'seat' is very hard and uncomfortable with the split and required significant cushioning. My husband had to fix squeaky wheels numerous times as well.

The wheels do lock into place but this product is very sturdy so it should be OK. But you'll need to get some caps so you don't scratch your floors.

Yes. Both wheels have levers to brake & release. I can do them with my feet or Mom can do it by hand sitting in the chair. I like this chair very much for my mom. Easy to lift into my car.

If you lock the handles by lowering the brakes on the hand grip, it does lock the back wheels

Yes it locks in place to sit. Best walker we have used. Good seat height. Nice foot rests for when I push her. Hope that helps! Have a great week, Jen

Kind of. They have a mechanism to lock, but it doesn't really do the trick too well. The wheels honestly aren't that great. One of mine broke clean off. It stays pretty immobile, but can shift if bumped hard enough.

Yes. The brake can be set by pushing the brake handles down until they click and brakes are in force until brake handles are moved up.

you can put on the brake, which locks the wheels. Need to do this when using it as a chair.This is a good product, good price. - at least that was our experience.

Yes. At the bottom of each of the two handgrips is a lever.. It has a double braking function. As you are walking you may instantly squeeze the grips, pulling the levers upward for a quick stop. Or, if you wish to "park," you can pull one or both levers downward, and the levers remain in that parked position until someone pulls upward and releases them. I am a bit surprised that the moving parts work so smoothly. The total walker device is light yet turdy. This means that with brakes locked you could still push and the wheels would scoot. However, with someone sitting on the seat (or with other weight), the walker would be as difficult to move as a four-legged chair. Rue L. Cromwell Yes.

You can lock it into place or you can release the latch and lean back - If you are considering buying this chair, know that the wheels break - I bought two of the chairs and the wheels broke on both. Just order yourself a good set of replacement wheels....not a big issue. The chair is very nice and has held up well. I have one of home and office and get compliments almost daily. I hope this helps.

Maybe I'm missing something about no brake lock, but there is a button that will lock the brake. I just received this knee scooter yesterday. There is a small silver button on the brake lever. With the brake applied I pushed the silver button and the brake remained engaged until I squeezed the brake lever a second time. Granted it is not like a walker or stroller brake, but it did keep it from rolling.

No, I haven't had any problems with the wheels at all. Can't remember for sure, but I think you will hear a click when you put the wheels on and that means they are inserted and seated properly. Check to make sure they are completely inserted properly or if there is a defect.

It does just sit there but it doesn't move very well without mechanical fasteners, which I have used but not yet perfected! Yes the foot pedal does latch when depressed.

Yes, the wheels lock great. The hold in the middle is slightly smaller in my opinion but still is very functional. I think it is a great chair.

Yes. Only two of the wheels have locking mechanisms...wing nut style. They are easily locked and unlocked by foot. Make sure that when you install the wheels that have the locks they are easily accessible to you.
