Not sturdy. Too many moving parts.
I purchased this for my mom after her back surgery and while it is nice because of the little pouch under the seat, it is not very sturdy as a walking tool.
The wheels are very hard plastic so it sort of “get away” from her sometimes.
Also, the bars which house the handgrips/breaks, are loose no matter how tight you make the little plastic bolts.
Lastly, it is constructed of pieces that assemble sort of like tent poles- the handle, bar, and wheel are inserted into each other without bolts as opposed to one long piece. So not only are the handles loose, the wheels fall off.
It’s functional, and sturdy enough to sit in, but if you need firm steady support while walking, this may not be a good option.
I felt this was important to share.
Thank you.
