A great addition to my independence arsenal
I use a Hugo rollator with a seat and large wheels (which I love btw) when I am out and about, but it is way too large to use inside my rather small house. My physical therapist recommended I try a 3-wheeler at home to help me get around more comfortably than with my cane. After researching them here on Amazon I found this one to be the best overall value for me at the time I purchased it. There is some assembly required of course. When assembling it be sure to pull the legs out until they click into place. I think at least one reviewer might not have and found it to be quite tippy as a result. The wheels should not be directly under the handles but further out toward the user. With those legs fully extended and clicked into place I haven't found the least bit of a concern with stability. The pouch, basket and tray work just fine for me. I can stuff all sorts of things into the pouch and move them from one place to another - a water bottle, books, magazines or file folders, a sweater, a tissue box, scrapbooking supplies or maybe cans or jars from the pantry to the kitchen, whatever - anyway you get the idea. As far as the basket goes I fold down the back part of it between the tray and the pouch and have open and easy access to the things I stick in there, otherwise you lift the tray off to access the basket. The tray is wonderfully helpful for rolling a meal into the TV room. As most of you who use a cane can likely commiserate with, a cane can be really, really annoying to deal with. While my cane has its place in my independence collection, for me there is no comparison from using my cane at home to using this compact little 3-wheeler. It's convenient, compact, stable, helps me be more independent and there's far less stress and annoyance than using my cane. If you have one of those fold up canes as I do you can fold it up and stick it in the pouch to have it handy if you choose to. This 3-wheeler does fold, but since I only use it in the house I haven't done that as yet, so I'm not able to address that issue. Although it says it is flame red it is actually black with little highlights of red. I love mine.
