Buy it! I had been struggling with knee pain for weeks, and after seeing four doctors and getting Xrays and an MRI, finally found out I had several things wrong with my knee including a torn meniscus. During that time, I'd caved in and bought a cane, which helped to relieve some pain, but I was very slow moving using it. (And I also used it in the wrong hand until I decided to google how to walk with a cane! I am typically a fast walker, and love to be able to do that, and it was frustrating, even once I started usingit with the correct hand .) My knee pain continued to get worse to the point of keeping me up at night, so I bought a regular two-wheeled walker. I hated it almost immediately. I had to lift the front with every step, and though I ordered something for the back so it would glide, I ended up ordering this walker even before the glides came. And I LOVED IT IMMEDIATELY! I had spent hours reading reviews of soooo many walkers. I am pretty sure this was the most expensive one which is why I kept shopping and kept reading. I finally chose this one because of the light weight AND the simplicity of folding, storing, transporting and carrying it! I needed one that I could walk through grass, and parking lots, without slowing down, or getting stuck. And though I didn't know it at the time, other reviewers mentioned they loved it because they could squeeze it smaller to go through smaller doorways, and though I didn't understand how simple and necessary that was, believe me, you will love that too! Though there was another walker that had caught my eye, and I kept switching back and forth as I read reviews and looked at photos, it didn't fold up as small. I studied picture after picture to be positive that this was the one that would only be 12 inches x 12 inches, and lightweight enough to easily carry. AND IT IS! (I am 75 and could carry it a short distance with one hand if I needed to. Admittedly, two hands are easier, just wanted to say a person could use one hand if necessary.) The best thing about it is that I can walk as fast as I want, wherever I want, and go through any doorway without stopping, and that it easily fits it in the back seat or front seat! It has already been worth every penny! I no longer hesitate to go to the back of the grocery store for milk! What a luxury! The seat is comfy enough too, though in the photos I had wondered about that. And if you are only getting a few things you might not ever need a cart at a store. Or if you do, use it to get to the carts, then put it in the cart, and you still have room for whatever you want to buy! Oh! Save yourself some time looking for a way to have your phone etc. with you. I shopped for well over an hour to find a way I could carry a water bottle and a wallet etc., and still be able to fold it quickly and simply, and found "GEARV 2 pack cup holders" on Amazon! They are absolutely perfect. So I wouldn't waste the hours I did in trying to find something else, at least not right away, because these work so good one would think they came with the walker. In fact, the walker company should include them! (My only regret is that I would've preferred the blue color of this walker. I could not find it the night I bought this grey one, and unfortunately happened to see it within a day or two later, but didn't have the heart to return it. Sooo if you want a colored one, search a while longer, and it just might pop up.)
