Taking my wife to a graduation ceremony

I like this Duet rollator/transport chair by Drive, as it has characteristics of both a rollator and a transport chair, it can hold more weight than the standard lightweight rollators, and it folds down quite well. The Duet functions as a rollator, which I can use for walking on my own and sitting when the pain is too much. It also functions as a transport chair, which I can have a friend use to push me when I am in too much pain to walk. You sit in it one way when using it as a rollator and the opposite way when being pushed in it as a transport chair. The transition from rollator to transport chair is actually pretty easy. The back support easily transfers locations (with a simple push-pin lock/release). The foot support swings down when needed for the transport chair function, and up and out of the way for rollator function. (The foot support stays in place well, too.) There are additional arm supports/grab bars for use in the transport chair function that can be swung up or down, as preferred. I didn't see information on this in the instructions, but I figured out that there is a squeeze release on these arm support handles that allows them to be swung down out of the way or up and locked. Swinging these arm supports down out of the way can make it easier to get in and out of the seat when using it as a transport chair if you need extra room, as the arm supports aim in toward the seat just a little bit. Alternatively, by leaving the arm supports up, they can help those who need extra support while getting in or out of the chair. I prefer to leave them down and out of the way. The Duet is heavy-duty and can handle up to 300 pounds, if I recall, but it is also very easy to store, as it collapses down quite well, despite being a bit heavier than lightweight rollators. The extra weight does not bother me, but I could see how it might be too heavy for some users who cannot lift much weight. That is the only reason I listed it as a con. The Duet collapses down for storage by pulling a release pin on the side and picking up the handle in the seat. The pin not only keeps the Duet from folding up when in use (which is nice), but also keeps it locked in place when collapsed (which makes it easier to move in and out a vehicle, for example). Actually, I have found that if you have limited room, if you pull out the pin again after it is collapsed flat, and you move the wheels a bit so they nest, it will collapse even further than when in the

very light and easy for me to pick up & put in back of car. much easier than taking his wheelchair to doctor visits or dinner out.

I have been quickly going into peripheral neuropathy for about 3 years. I bought a regular walker which just up and broke. I bought the Hugo which is nice but too wide for narrow doors and spaces and does not have brake locks, rolls away.I bought another narrow walker and added front and back wheels with brakes which I used until I had cervical surgery in August. My daughter bought me a walker to use after which is good but I wanted more. I am having more spine surgery so another daughter got the Drive Duet. I like it best of all. It is stable, It has locking wheels, may be used for transport, carries plenty in the basket. The seat is good. I use a non-skid pad. It goes through narrow spaces.

Thanks
