Can it also be configured as a seated walker by raising the knee rest up? Or would that move the weight distribution too far back over single wheel?

No I won't think so. The seat might raise another couple inches. It's only designed as a knee walker.

This unit is not designed to be a seated walker. That being said, I just sat on it and took it for a spin around the house. My ankle is healed to the point that I can put limited weight on it, so I was able to try this. I actually find it more stable seated than with one knee on the knee rest because I was able to have both feet on the floor rather than just one creating a wider base of contact with the floor. Mind you, the knee rest is narrow, designed for a knee and not a backside, but it was actually pretty comfortable just the same. I'm 5'7" and weigh about 175 lbs., so my backside isn't very large which may contribute to the comfort factor. I tried this with the knee rest at the knee height position, lowest for me, and at it's highest position. It seemed to work well in both configurations. There doesn't seem to be any problem with weight distribution as the knee rest only moves back approximately 1" between the lowest and highest positions. I hope this helps.

I sat on mine, when in line at grocery store. But with seat/knee rest in same position.

The seat can be raised and I had actually done this on a few times when kids visit as I no longer need it.

I'm 5'5" and can sit comfortably with my feet on the floor and my back against the back rest. Depending on how long the person's legs are, it should be OK. The more troubling issue is the fact that this item comes with 3-spoke wheels rather than the 8-spoke ones pictured. Some have reported that the wheels can break while the walker is in use.

the seat itself is fixed in frame but when you adjust the walker height you would be adjusting the seat height at the same time.

I just tried it. You can roll it up, but it makes a pretty big bundle. And the model we have has wheels attached, which would make it pretty hard to strap to your back.

Yes. You tilt it back for excellent maneuverability. Roll it on four wheels for ease of movement.

Yes! It has 3 different settings. You push the button in the middle of the wheels to adjust the height. My son absolutely loves this walker. It is worth the price and moves very nicely on our hard wood floors.

No the seat isn't adjustable. Great little, convenient easy to transport walker.

My husband is the shortest of all the answers. It is a great walker and I didn't have to adjust it. I'm sure you will be pleased with this walker.

the walker does indeed fold up, but, as bk answered, it does not fold up very compactly. Depending on your level of strength and stability, this walker, although wonderful, is not easily manipulated by one person. (We purchased for our mother, (85) and she cannot load/unload this alone) I hope that this will help you.

Hello, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! This walker will arrive assembled, you will need to adjust the legs to the appropriate height setting.

Cannot be raised up and down. Handle can be moved for more resistance and two foot pedal heights. Weights can be put behind seat.

Kelly-the rollato walkerr might work, but I don't think it is recommended to do this. Have you looked into transport chairs?

It should, especially if you're accustomed to full leg extension when pedaling. If you like having your knees folded up, then it would be an easy mod to drill another hole in the seat post - kind of like punching a new hole in your belt. It is NOT good for people 6' and up.

I don't see how, although I suppose it would be possible if you were to set the angle very low. But then the range of motion would be so slight you'd barely be moving, which isn't the goal. When I was shopping for this I ran across a mini stationary bike. Something like that would work better from a sitting position.

My wife is 5' 3" and uses it. To use as a walker the seat needs to be in the up position, this places the weight toward the front of the walker. To me this makes the walker more likely to tip forward. Hasn't happened but I've seen the back lift up at times. t

Yes you can, but I would be very careful about that. In my opinion four wheels would make it unstable and dangerous for someone who is depending on a walker.

It folds up easily, but of course not totally flat. There is simply too much bulk--wheels, seat, back---for it to be completely flat.
