Very light, easy to fold and portable. The levers make folding extremely easy. Great price point. Happy to buy online as instore it retails for $128. Good stability. The one thing that was offputting for an aging parent was the noise from the skis on the tile floor of a store - very squeaky and loud. It might have been because she was putting a lot of pressure on the handles when she was walking. She wants to put tennis balls to see if possible that helps remedy the noise problem.
This walker is extremely sturdy when set up. It comes together (or apart) very easily. And it is light weight. We have not traveled on a plane with it yet, but it looks like that will be no problem. Like most walkers as opposed to canes, people automatically seem to part the way for passage. Therefore -- this is perfect for walking in crowds, like theaters or concerts.
Overall as promised. Packing it up can be a bit tricky by yourself as the clamps that hold the folded unit together don't attach easily. That said, once in the bag, it zips up well. I just wish someone made on about half the size as it does take up a bit of space in my suitcase. Still stable and helps when I am on the road.
Took off the gadget holders.
Took on vacation. Light weight 14 lbs. Fit in suit case. Folds up easy. Very sturdy. Really love it. Made it so easy to get around in the hotel. Its not an everyday walker. I only use on vacation. Looks great too !
It was great to have such a compact walker for mom. The bag came in handy on the flight and in our compact car. It held up to some abuse, well made, very light. Mom had a bit of trouble getting use to the lightness because her normal walker is heavier, and she also has an arm lift, but in a few days of use she did great. Hope this review helps out.

Description
The Drive Medical Portable Folding Walker in red easily folds, tool free, to half the size of a traditional walker and can be stored in a "Ready Set Go" pouch that is provided with each walker. The legs are attached with strong elastic cords making it easy to fold flat, for easy storage and transportation. When the walker is opened, two side pouches with large pockets for personal items are held in place by hook-and-loop fastener straps to both side frames. The 5" front wheels and rear glide skis provide a smooth transportation over most surfaces.
This is an excellent walker for travelling,we checked it in for both our flights, with a fragile sticker placed on it, it survived the trip perfectly. When put together I found it very sturdy and felt really comfortable walking wit. I would highly recommend for travelling.
Great for mobility and transportability. The side bags are plastic. The velcro tends to pull apart when folding, so proper.placement to user needs is important.
One of the best all around walkers for someone disabled yet on the move
Highly recommend
This walker is much more durable than what I had expected from previous comments I read prior to purchasing it. I purchased this for my 97 yr old mother to use on a cruise later this summer. When I opened and assembled it, she absolutely fell in love with the color. She commented immediately that she felt better using this walker rather than the existing one she has had for years. Therefore, she has been using it since day 1. I have highly recommended this walker to all of her friends and acquaintances at the local senior center.
Came quick. Very sturdy
