Has anyone driven with the basket folded? Are there any issues? Really don't want to dismount and keep in our hotel room.

As long as you have a lock on you hitch then you are fine. If folded while driving. You might wanna tie it down. Very shaky. Well on my truck. Hope I helped out.

I use it on my honda pilot and the bumper gets in the way of it completely folding it up. There are 2 up positions you can put it in, all the way up and most of the way up. I am only able to put it most of the way up and i use a piece of a wood chip to push it up as far as i can where it is against the bumper. I have driven with it up that way with no issues. If you hitch receiver is recessed back far you may have the same issue as I do but if not you should be fine.

Sorry I didn't but I got one of those pins with a lock (trailer hitch receiver lock 2") and park all the way in the end of the parking lot. With my suv(Mazda cx9) I can't fold it the bumper have an extra bump out on the middle of it doesn't allow me to fold the basket.

Yes, I drove ~400 miles with it in the "up" and folded position, no issues. Just buy a locking trailer hitch bolt

Yes, we've done that. It folds up easily and locks nicely in position. You'll hear a bit of rattling around back there but nothing to worry about.

The basket could easily handle it; it's all about how/where you have it mounted. I have mine wired on to a rear platform rack thing that's attached to my seat post, kind of cantilever style. I don't typically carry more than 20 lbs. in it, but again, it's more about the platform than the basket. If you have one of those platforms that attaches to either side of your rear wheel, it's probably much more stable than what I've got. Hope that helps -

If you do not have the basket on it there is no problem folding it in a matter of seconds. The bar on the sides between the front and back pulls up and closes it. So very simple!!!

Good Morning Robert,Yes, the walker can fold with basket attached. There are straps on each side and a stabling cord that goes underneath the basket and stretches around the walker. My Mom loads it up pretty good with a cordless phone, water, snacks, etc and is very stable. She said it was the best present I ever gave her...I don't think you would be disappointed. I would highly recommend it! Mary from NY

I think it folds easily. I actually kept it stored folded in my van and never had a problem getting it in and out

Yes the intire unit folds when not in use. That is great as long as you do not have to get in the trunk.

The basket sits on the outside of the walker. It hooks onto the front brace and the legs fold into the middle, so the basket isn't touched by them. You can leave it on or take it off. I prefer to leave my on, so I wired the two support brackets onto the legs so it wouldn't slip off. The basket is very sturdy now and will carry heavy loads as long as they are not too wide. I love it!

I purchased the twin large baskets, bolted down. I added two more brackets from the hardware store to secure and for me to be reassure. Or, have bicycle shop get the hardware install them yourself or they'll install them for you. The only thing if men bicycle, better practice or kicking your leg a little higher. This basket is great, I store the 1 gallon milks to center the weight of the grocery loads. Will suggest to invest in insulated bags, to food cool or cold from summer weathers. Or, hot / warm food for the cooler / evening weathers. I'm sure you will enjoy the room / capacity, avoid the extra trips or limited room space on what to purchase what not to. Or, for other purposes. Enjoy. Bicycle safely.

It folds down kinda-sorta flat. I keep mine in my truck a lot, but I don't usually carry it around (it gets pushed). It collapses, but it's not completely flat, the wheels remain connected, the handles above the collapsed carrier section. Does that help? I'm not sure I'd take it in a restaurant, but I suppose you could lean it against the wall.

It folds with the basket. I find it easiest to lay the desk flat so that the basket folds down mostly first, and the rest of the desk folds up rather easily from there. The basket pivots on one side like it is hinged. It swings up and down if that makes sense. It rests flat on the opposite leg, on little pegs. Very durable though. I stuck heavy books on the basket, just to see how durable it was and I ran out of room to stack text books. It still held up well. Unfolding, the basket can be unfolded last. but it lays pretty flat between the legs of the desk when it is folded up, so it also doesn't flap about. It isn't a true hinge though. A pair of pegs fit into holes. During normal use they don't pop out, but one of the baskets was loose when we first got them. (I ordered three together and they shipped in the same box.) It poped right back into place with no trouble though.

It does not collapse or fold for transporting in vehicle. I don't have it with me now to see how easy it is to take it apart for transporting and then reassembling it at destination. For general comments I found the chair a little flimsy/shaky.

yes, it does fold with the basket. The basket just sort of rests on a small rubber piece in the front. let me advise you that the work space is terribly small (smaller than a sheet of looseleaf paper). It is basically a plastic folding chair. Fine for the money, but... No, you do not have to take the basket out to fold it. It was shipped while folded and basket was in place. )

you need to take the basket off to fold it. There is a lever in the middle and you just pull it and push the two sides together. It is pretty easy to do.

Yes. You remove the basket before folding. It folds and unfolds with complete ease.
