Drive Medical Nitro Sprint Foldable Rollator Walker with Seat, Standard Height Lightweight Rollator with Large Wheels, Folding Rolling Walker, Walker Rollator with Seat, Red

Over a few years I have been a heavy user of walkers. Using them for transporting shopping, laundry, charity shop stuff etc. Also on rougher terrain at National Trust places etc. I have had seven walkers and three of them have have been Drive Nitro’s. Friends have had six. They win on having concealed brakes and very comfortable seat.The latest Sprite has updated its braking system which on the old version worn the tyres down quicker. Although I have managed to buy new back wheels in the past. My only complaint is please could they do more colours as with just red and black we get them mixed up when we meet up!

This kept me mobile whilst recovering from surgery. Sturdy and stylish.

Very well made, not too heavy easily fits into the car and my wife finds it easy to use.

This walker is very good quality, i like how all the brake wires are neatly inside the frame so that they don't get caught on anything as you pass through tight spaces. The height of the handles is super easy to adjust by just clicking a button each side. To fold it up you just pull the seat up, so easy to do. The bag can be placed in 3 different places on the walker and is super easy to detach and reattach. The walker is very sturdy and gives you a sense of great confidence, but at the same time is not heavy to life. The brakes are excellent, easy to use and there is also an option to have the brakes on slightly to help the walker running away with you when going downhill. The wheels are large which make it super easy to get up and down kerbs, but i would have preferred the tyres to be made of a softer material to help absorb some of the jarring on the wrists when going over rough ground.

Exactly what I required

I have used an earlier model of this walker for years due to back pain.Sometimes I feel like the pain in my back is so bad I have to sit down immediately. It is nice to always have a chair with me. It is also nice for carrying boxes too. My husband recently needed a walker to prevent falls. I wasn't sure he would use it very much so I got him a less expensive smaller one from a different brand. Turned out he really liked it and felt safer using it. The problem was the wheels. They were about 5" in diameter and maybe an inch wide. The wheels got stuck on the threshold of our front door and in the crack at the front of the building elevator. He got very frustrated trying to shove the wheels over the obstructions. So I did a search for the brand of walker I have and found this one. He really likes it. The front wheels are big enough they roll right over the things his old walker got caught on. The hand grips can be adjusted for different heights but his tend to not stay where we set them. I have reset them twice and I noticed yesterday they had slipped again. I will have to see if there is something I can tighten. The brakes are good. The seat is comfortable but he does not use it very much. I like the bag on my older model better. Mine is rather rectangular and holds more. His is shaped like a large fanny pack and doesn't have mesh like mine does. You can't see what is in the bag as easily but some people may prefer that for privacy. I use the bag on mine all the time so I don't have to carry a purse. Both models have zippers on the bags but mine is bigger and easier to get into. I really like the way these rollators fold up. All you do is give a strong pull/jerk on the handle attached to the seat. The seat folds vertically and you can squeeze the sides of the seat together until it clicks and it locks in place to make it easier to lift up and put in the car. Then when you get it out you spread the sides of the seat until it locks in the open position. Very easy. I would recommend this brand to anyone looking for a good walker that rolls and has a comfortable seat, is easy to lift and stores in a narrow place.

Apenas un par de semanas de uso, pero buen desempeño y muy práctico, solo lo siento un tanto debil al subir las varillas a la altura máxima de las empuñaduras.

This walker was on sale and a good price at Amazon . The wheels are bigger in the front and go over bumps better . It has a lever on front below back wheels that can assist you getting up on sidewalks and places where there is a elevation of pavement . Excellent feature to have . Walker is heavier and takes some time to get used to weight of , plus have to be careful navigating into smaller doorways . Make sure your rested when you go out , or get on handy dart as you have to push it up the ramp on handy dart . I don’t use the regular transit anymore . A lot of balance issues and regular transit is crowded .

Following is the initial review offered for this product. After a lot os use, I must say when eviewed originaly I had no ideqa what I was talking about. My rollator is very well made, looks better than most, is very comfortable to sit in and is easy to fold up. A bit heavy for some, I have no problem picking it up.. The brakes could not work any better and the wheels hold very well. Doubt if pneumatic tires would add anything positive. The only problem or shortcoming I have noticed is the seat back is fraying where the cloth and metal join. I doubt this will last another 6 months and am hoping a replacement part can be purchased. Love this walker, use it every day for at least an hour and have taken walks of up to 2 miles with it. The major problem I have with my Drive Medical Nitro Sprint Foldable Rollator Walker with Seat is the lack of a brake I can set while just sitting. Where I live seemingly ever street is at least a slight hill. When I stop to rest the rollator wants to roll. If I had a brake I could set at this time I'd be very happy. Folding the unit is not tough if you don't want the rollator to close tightly. I use a snap cord to tie things together when folding. A snap cord doesn't require knots or bows making it easier to use. The rollator came with a black plastic addition which snaps on somewhere. The instructions for this are not at all clear. I'm told to use "my smart phone" to access detailed instructions. Guess what? This dumb user doesn't have a smart phone so no detailed instructions. Now the good stuff. It comes assembled save for the little black plastic thingy. Hooray! It is very easy to adjust. A big hooray. I love walking distances again. I have no feeling of instability. I fell over with a basic walker more than once (have a brain based problem with balance). I have NO feeling of not being in complete command now. It is a bit heavy but I carry it up to a doctor's office on the second floor every week with no feeling of being challenged. Major thought about my Drive Medical Nitro Sprint Foldable Rollator Walker with Seat is I'm a fool for not purchasing it much sooner. I tested a number or rollators and I am certain I purchased the best for me.
