lightweight 3 wheel walkers?
482009
Not really a light weight unit at all.Seems to be heavier than others I have used or looked at.I would advise a senior person to look for a lighter unit, since this one can require a good bit of effort to put into or get it out of, an automobile.,

This is made of steel. A light weight one would be made of aluminum. There is an advantage it's being of steel and heavier. It provides greater stability that a lighter weight aluminum one would, But can't think of ever seeing an aluminum one. Though they may exist. By the way, This is not a walker. They are quite different. Walkers do not have swiveling wheels nor brakes. And the never have more than two wheels. And they require lifting of the legs without the wheels over and over as you go.. This is a rollaway. And most rotators have four wheels, Their overall width make four wheel rotators impossible to use in most bathrooms. This unit is no problem. This is made of steel.

Not sure what your question was, but I bought this for my son who has cerebral palsy and is a fairly large young man weighing 205 lbs. and it is holding up very well.

it should work fine. It appears to be stable on just about all surfaces. personally I like four wheels better than the jogger 3.

I believe at says 250 or 275 but will work for 300-310 person. But, if you are used to using a walker to really support your at and you really lean on a walker I would suggest the 4 wheel rather than 3 wheel. I have all 3 kinds. Love 3 wheel as it goes in car better and you can get in smaller/tighter spaces, ny favorite is 4wheel with seat.

Hi Ana, I'm not sure that A3 is suitable. It's relatively heavy, it's metallic and 3 years old kids are so tender. I would try to find a two wheel scooter with less weight

One of the features is larger wheels so they roll better so, yes, they should work ok on packed dirt. You should also have a choice of walker width for even better off road performance.

I would buy the four wheels...sturdier. My dogs love this stroller...take them to the mall with me and they love it just to be with me! ENJOY!

I bought the three wheel and it is amazing. I think it would navigate better than the three. This one has my vote :)

Yes I purchased 3 pair for myself, wife and daughter. Wheels have grooves to handle sidewalk. No issues so far

Wheels are small so this is not an All Terrain Vehicle. Best used indoors or on smooth level surfaces.

Definitely. This walker is so much easier to maneuver and turn in tight spots. My mother loves hers!

these things are so light that i dont see why you would need any wheels. my 6 yr old moves it no problem.

I don't know about it being an advantage, but three wheels is less bulky than four; therefore making it more lightweight and easier to push and maneuver.

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

The wheels are really small. Traveling on anything other than sidewalk would be difficult.

You can walk quickly, but the front wheel starts to shake if you start jogging. I'd recommend getting the larger front wheel upgrade that doesn't rotate if you want to jog.

They are good wheels, suitable for the purpose. I too walk several miles/wk, and find them good. They are not skateboard quality,( which are my preference), but for a buggy with 100 lbs or less, on cement sidewalks they seem tbe durable. If you are on gravel or uneven dirt roads, it may not be enough. But the buggy is great, in general and much better and more useful than the cheaper wire baskets I have used. Ive had mine, used regularly for several months, and I find little to complain about. ( b/c the wheels swivel easily, and the sidewalks in my neighborhood, tilt for runoff, they tend to follow the tilt. Only complaint I have.

Hello Joy, thank you for your interest in Drive Medical! We cannot recommend adding wheels on the back legs of this walker as it would decrease the user's stability.
