Does anyone have issues with it not having a break lock? My concern is trying to sit or stand still, and we all go rolling....

MY Mom is using this product (she's 89) and she has no problem with this product at all. I tried it and it seems to be just fine

Mine has hand breaks, and they are locking, I have never has a single issue with my Nova Walker.. Sometimes for me a a little hard folding up and getting into the back seat, is most concern I have ever had.

Maybe I'm missing something about no brake lock, but there is a button that will lock the brake. I just received this knee scooter yesterday. There is a small silver button on the brake lever. With the brake applied I pushed the silver button and the brake remained engaged until I squeezed the brake lever a second time. Granted it is not like a walker or stroller brake, but it did keep it from rolling.

We have not. It's not locked but we bent one of the latches so it would hold tighter.

We have not had ours break. Our son doesn't really touch it. Once he knows the lock is on he realizes he cannot get the seat belt to release.

I have never tried to lock it down but to move it back-and-forth needs just a tiny bit of force to move it not a lot at all but you could pretty much keep it semi stationary as long as you are not moving your legs

No, it doesn't lock. In response to a previous reply about requiring force to swivel, our swivel easily. And I am still having to retighten the hex nuts frequently. We've even tried gluing them and it didn't work. We had to remove the arm rests because they were too much of a hastle to keep tightening.

Has anyone had a problem folding unit down. We slid frame lock release while squeezing lock release. Releases side locks, but will go no further? Any suggestions?

Sorry about that. Mine also seems to stay "locked" only in the semi-reclined position. But I never fully recline it as I don't want that position. I use it for watching tv only. I do feel that the price and looks are worth every penny. I guess it depends on what one purchases it for. We purchased two and love them. We have limited space, needed the orange color, and wanted something attractive. They aren't over-sized, homely, and dowdy looking like most recliners.

No, the break does not lock. I never found that to be a problem, but my condo was carpeted.

No the wheels don't lock, but I have not found it to be a problem. I think it is a great stool!

Not on THIS particular one. I have another at my other home which I have a review on. That one has no lock either. "I" think it is not a good idea for locks in case you have to get back up quickly.

Have not had that problem, but have had a lot of trouble. It's kind of junk. I used it in rehab because it was small enough to sneak in, but haven't touched it since. I'll probably toss it in the trash one day.

Didn't have that issue but I do remember having to really push and lock the handle into place. Hope that helps.

It stays in place, but it is relatively easy to close. I wouldn't say it locks in place because it will close if pushed. There is no actual locking mechanism. My oldest one is easier to close than my newest one, but it still doesn't flop closed.

That seems to be a common problem with this case. I traveled with mine last holidays, and even though it has just been sitting in the house all through, I discovered that the locking mechanism was not working. When I acquired it though, I tried it out and it was quite okay.

I do not think they locked. I have donated it to a home for disabled children or I would look. I used it for many years, over ten year actually I would recommend this to anyone. It is the best. I never had a problem with the wheels rolling. I used this on carpet and hardwood. It never rolled unless pulled or pushed. Just great.

I had one wheel that took a lot of muscle to finally get it to lock into place. I was afraid that I would break it, but it finally snapped into place. Good luck! And yes, a wheel that keeps falling off would be extremely frustrating!
