Drive Medical RTL10266-H Nitro Euro Style Walker Rollator, Petite, Red

Edited to add info on 1-17-2020There is a little black piece on the lower right of the walker, adjacent to the wheel. It is not in the manual,but it is to help with curbs, single steps, etc. I love it for putting it in my Toyota Sienna behind the driver's seat. I close the walker, step on black tab and the front wheels will come up. I can tilt the walker back enough to place the front wheels up on the floor of my Sienna, behind the front seats. I don't have to lift the full weight of the walker to get it in my car. This feature is not mentioned anywhere.NOT a Vine review - I received no compensation whatsoever from Amazon or Drive for this review.I have had to use a walker on and off for almost 20 years (a total of 12 ankle surgeries) and am now facing having to use one full time. I have had lots of time to think about what I like and don't like in a walker.I know I am picky, pick, picky, but if I have to use a walker, I want one that works well for me, is sturdy and comes in a color I like. Ideally it would be easily customizable. A walker is your constant companion. You want one that fits your needs and that you like. Following is my wish list, not necessarily in order of need.1) one I could easily attach things too for carrying by attaching a hook to the frame,2) one that the color could easily be changed (round silver tubing with sleeves that could be added?),3) more choices for short people, with more overlap in sizing4 & 5) lightweight -easy to put in and out of a car ,with mechanism to lock in closed position6) narrow enough to go through doorways and narrow aisles in stores easily7) flat area to sit on or for carrying food/drink (think buffet line) or fixing morning coffee8) short turning radius9) lock in open position and safe to sit on and scoot for a few feet on smooth level surfaces.10) Ability to store items - hides/covers items but still easily accessible to me.This is one of the better walkers I have used, but it is still leaves a lot to be desired.1. the bag is not as shown - it has a mesh top as well as the mesh bottom. Everything you put in it is very visible to everyone.2. Mine has a slight side-side sway.3. Too many plastic parts for long term durability.4. Easier to put in my car then my standard older 4 wheel walker, but still heavier than I would like. No locks in either open or closed position.5. Dislike being a walking billboard for the company (Name is on the back support). Back will be removed from mine.6. Color. Does not come in blue (my favorite color). Not everyone likes Fire Engine Red or Deathly Black. The white was not available on Amazon (or other sites I looked at) plus I imagine it would be a pain to keep clean. The deluxe version comes in blue, but not the petite or short versions. (Yes I know, picky, picky,picky).7. No good place to attach things - cup holder, etc.8. No flat surface to place my coffee mug or food. Needs small metal tray accessory.9. Seat is too low to use at a table, unless you want your eyes at table level. Most of us shorties are used to regular height chairs, would be nice if this seat were at regular height.Good points1. Comes in a version for us short people2. Good turning radius, easy to push3. Much easier to put in car than my standard 4-wheel walker. About same difficulty as my 3-wheel walker.4. has a seat5. bag for carrying possessions6. seems to be fairly sturdy7. folds side-to-side so can get through narrow spaces.8. narrow enough to go through my bathroom door easily (my old 4 wheel one would go through but had to be lined up perfectly or the door got scratched by the wheel axles.)

This walker is perfect! My husband and mother both use a Euro Nitro walker and love them. Very different from the traditional A-frame rollator, it folds side to side versus front to back. The fold up is incredibly easy..just pull up on the seat handle. No hinges to pinch fingers and it stays standing when folded! This allows for easier storageOther advantages: smaller footprint than the A-frame; no outside brake cables to get snagged wider, sturdy aluminum frame versus tube-type frame for easier handling Larger wheels that navigate the bumps in life, like uneven pavements,and small curbs Easier to navigate turns with the larger wheels versus the A-frame a little "toe step' by back wheel (as on wheel chairs) that when stepped on will lever the front up to navigate a front stoop size rise or step adjustable wide back rest for better comfort than the tube style back bar on the A-frame walkers a net storage compartment on the front of the walker, large enough for my mom's Simply Go portable oxygen concentrator, a travel cup and her tablet. Better than the storage under the seat, it leaves the seat free for dinner plates, or other things they want to transport on top of the seat, or just for sitting when needed. If raining- for short jaunts to & from the car- a small garbage can size plastic bag can protect items. Lighter than the typical A-Frame rollator and easier to fold and lift into the car or on a carrier.My husband's physical therapist and physician recommends the Euro Nitro exclusively for all of these reasons. I consider it safer, sturdier, easier to use and store for both user and caretaker. It is attractive, comes in different colors and with the wider frame, we decorated my mom's walker with some stick on rhinestones for a bit of bling and flame appliques for my husband's just for fun! They get lots of compliments and interest in where we bought them, how much they are etc. We recommend this style walker to everyone who is looking for a more convenient, easier to use and more "stylish" walker. I applied for reimbursement from my mom's Medicare Advantage Plan as medicare covers DME. We are so happy with this walker I don't even care if they do not cover this model. I feel better that my husband and mom have a safer, easier to use rollator for a reasonable price.

I love this walker! Perfect for small stature. Folds easily. Light enough I can lift in and out of trunk myself. Love the color and Nitro logo. If you must have a walker this one is stylish. Only issue is that one of the screws to adjust back support was broken and I didn't notice until the back slid down on one side so check that carefully when you purchase. Large wheels make it easy to maneuver inside and out. Would definitely recommend this one

I haven’t used the walker too much yet, but so far am finding it easy to use. I like the way it folds and makes it easy to transport.I am a short person,so thought it would be the right height,but doesn’t seem to go quite high enough.stillhave to bend over a bit.

This walker is great. It's easy to get around. Love the large wheels & the easy adjustments. Also, the brake line doesn't get caught like others I tried. I can walk a lot easier with this one. Well worth it, but make sure to buy the correct size. It comes in three sizes.

Ease of use with large wheels, folds compactly, cables hidden, light weight, looks good...gets me out and about...what's not to like?

I bought this for my 91 year old mother about 2 months ago. She loves the red colour and calls it her 'Ferrari'. Big downside is the brake setting mechanism has recently failed on one side. She can apply the brakes by hand if she is walking downhill. However, if the brakes are pulled down (so they are permanently stopped so the unit doesn't roll downhill while you're loading it into the car or move while she is getting up from a chair ), they pop out of a brake position after 5 to 10 minutes - without anyone touching them. This is not safe! I'd like to return the unit or get it fixed but, the return window ended two weeks ago. Be warned!
