Does this wheel kit fit the Medline Bariatric Folding Walker? And will the wheels support a 350-lb person?

I am not sure what the Medline Bariatric Folding Walker is, but these wheels do fit my sturdy folding walker. But there is one thing that I do know is that these wheel will support a 350-lb. person (because I am over 350-lbs.).

The information that was online and that came with the wheels says the weight limit is 300lbs.

The wheels are supposed to fit any walker. Not sure about the weight limit.

Do not know, I purchased item for my grandson and he is approximately 22 lbs and there is plenty of room. The walker does have a height adjustment. breaks so the walker stops at steps and does not work well on carpet.

My wheels are ~13.5 inches. Your plan may work but I'd probably walk the 1/4 mile.

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.

This walker has adjustable height and is very sturdy. I purchased it for someone who is 5'5" and they were comfortable with the 5th slot setting. There are 8 pin holes in total for height adjustment. It can also support up to 300 pounds from my understanding. It is definitely not a junior size. Hope this is helpful. :)

Hi F. Donald Collins, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Deluxe Portable Folding Travel Walker with 5" Wheels and Fold up Legs. This walker has an overall width of 26.5", a width between the handles of 17", a weight capacity of 300lbs, and allows for the handles to be adjusted between 29.5" and 37". You should have no problem using this walker.

Well, I bought this hemi-walker for my mother. She weighs 120 pounds. My guess would be that this walker, being made of aluminum, would support no more than 150 lbs. It is light weight, easy to lift and put forward, but to put full weight on it.... the walker legs could bend. The legs are adjustable with spring pins on the sides -- it is those pins that I think would not stand for more pressure. That is my opinion :-)

Due to seat width and height this walker is more suited for a child or small frame adult. It is rated at 300 lbs and I know for a fact it will support 246 lbs. It is a strong solid built unit and the large wheels are very useful for unpaved or grass surfaces.

Pretty much any walker leg pieces will fit these. I replaced mine with a larger set of wheels, but there is no reason why you couldn't put on http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Medical-Walker-Tall-Extension/dp/B002VWJYO8/ or something similar along with glides, or tennis balls ar whatever else you choose.

I used this on several walkers (Drive Deluxe Folding Walker Two Button with 5 inch wheels - 1021010210-1) I bought for my mother from Amazon and one she brought home from the rehab hospital. She really liked them and found them very useful.

I purchased this for my grandmother who is at least 200 pounds. It is a heavy duty bench which makes it able to sustain more weight, but it's not a bariatric bench which would be for someone over 300 pounds. Hope that helps.

I'm 6'3" and weigh about 226lbs. I use the Medline Deluxe with 12 Inch wheels. Sometimes I wish the transport chair was a little bit larger.

The Breeze assists in balance. It is not designed to be weight-bearing, like a traditional walker. My guess is that the dimensions are sufficient for a 300 lb. person. However, I do not know if it is "strong" enough for such a weight. You would have to consult the manufacturer.

Glad you asked. I contacted the Green Group LLC by email and asked them the same question. The response I got was that it should have no problem holding up to 350 lbs. However having said that, I would caution you that that is the rating for all 5 wheels TOTAL. So, if you are like me and like to lean back in your chair, you will be putting all that weight on 1 or 2 of the legs. I did this for a year and one of my legs broke at the weld. When that happened, I immediately ordered a new one. I now sit in my chair with the lean lever in the lock position so I can't lean back. I really like the look of the chrome vs the black one's that usually come with a chair. Just remember to remove your wheels from your old base to transfer to your new base.

If it's not a bag boy push cart I doubt that it would fit. Wt. limit ---I don't know for sure, however I would think it would not hold my husband comfortably at 240 lbs.

Hi Marilyn, I got this for my mother who has bursitis in both hips plus a torn tendon in her foot. Needless to say, getting around the house is not easy ... let alone going out. So this walker has been a TREMENDOUS help for her. It's lightweight yet extremely sturdy, well-balanced and moves well over tile floor, linoleum and carpet. The walker folds down but it will never be flatter than the width measured from the front wheel to the end of the handle. I just measured the walker and it's 18 inches high when folded. We have a Toyota Camry with a medium-sized trunk. We recently went on a trip and the walker fit in just fine with luggage for 3 people. (By luggage I mean garment bags and a big duffel bag that fit around the walker. When I do take my Mom out we always bring the walker and it's great for shopping as she can put items in the compartment under the seat. If she does get tired she puts the brakes on and sits on the seat. We love it!
