Where one may take photos of a canine companion
~I take photos of my walking companion~
The Active Walker
The seat/basket/table, which is a very smart idea.
(Who needs a fanny pack?)
The handlebar where my water cup hitches a ride-
The brake lever is connected below the handlebar
See the little metal brake/stop? It is applied at the handlebars.
The red lever near the seat lifts to fold, pulling the wheels together.
See how useful is that table!
I'm pushing coffee, cream and a cup on the table/tray of my formerly owned geranium-colored walker.
Chloe sits properly on my walker seat with the brakes in the locked position!
Comments
Joanne- Your Grandma was spunky and smart! I barely remember her cane, but she was wise to keep it close by and away from the boys! :)
Tab- Thanks, babe!
Zoanna- Good questions! The seat/tray is hinged so it stays put! (I think I'd loose my seat if it weren't attached!)
At least three improvements could be made: :
1. Smart custom-designed cup holder!
2. Better brake system!
3. Less wobble in front wheels!
The walker could be greatly improved by a better design for a cup-holder. As it is, the cup-holder bought from the company was a waste of money! it is too restrictive (size wise) and flimsy. So I hook my insulated cup onto the handlebar which takes up the space where my hand should firmly grip… so I modify, but uncomfortably!
I've had trouble with brakes not staying locked. POP! The handlebar snaps up, releases the brake on the tire and that is all kinds of uh-oh! frustrating!
The wheel wobble is just annoying! (I'm not sure how to fix or modify!)
Sturdy, but not too heavy
Large front wheels, thus a smoother roll!
Arc-Angle design
Foldability
Easy Access levers for adjustments:of seat height, handlebar position and folding for transport
Storage basket under seat/tray
An option for tilting the walker when climbing a curb etc. at the back wheels… if balance is good enough to stand on one foot for the climb!
Seriously cool design feature for those users who have good balance.
Oh yeah, the walker also has some well placed light reflectors and red plastic handlebar reflectors too. Good ideas!
