Will this walker work for an 80 pound 4'10" frail woman
1408936
I would be hesitant to answer a question as to whether this walker would be appropriate for an 80 lb 4'10" frail woman, as I am not a nurse or doctor. It would depend..not because I don't think it's a strong and good quality walker, but because I don't know the person using it. Is she able to use the brakes? Does she lean forward when she walks? Etc. etc. For many frail people, healthcare providers suggest a regular walker..with wheels in the front but not in the back..because they feel it provides more stability. With wheeled walkers, if someone is not strong enough or aware enough, a wheeled walker can propel them forward and have them lose their balance. I would talk to her doctor before you purchase.

Yes. I believe it would be fine for her (My friend is 6ft & over 200 pounds). With the smaller wheels, I don't believe it would work very good outside.

We bought this for my 90 yr old mother-in-law who is about that height and it works fine for her. She tires easily and uses the seat for resting and also carrying items.

Well, I bought this hemi-walker for my mother. She weighs 120 pounds. My guess would be that this walker, being made of aluminum, would support no more than 150 lbs. It is light weight, easy to lift and put forward, but to put full weight on it.... the walker legs could bend. The legs are adjustable with spring pins on the sides -- it is those pins that I think would not stand for more pressure. That is my opinion :-)

This will work for you! my mother was shorter than 5'....just don't try to put it together, have someone else do it!

Be very careful, I was told it worked with the walker we have but it didn't and we didn't return it in their time frame, this company makes NO allowances for seniors with badmemories.... It will work with a folding walker as long as it is on there properly. Please get the dimensions from inside of one snap on piece to the inside of the other,then measure from the middle of the pole to the next. If your walker is one that has a bend in the front it will not work.

Be sure to purchase the youth size which is the smallest and able to go through normal bathroom doors. My mother is 97years of age, 89 lbs and 5 ft 2inches and the walker is adjustable for the handlebars to fit fine. Remember the seat is used to rest only and not a wheelchair!

Bought it for my mother last December. She basically uses it in the house along with a walker. I cannot compare her usage with yours. Sorry

Hello... Sorry for the delay in answering. I am just under 6' tall and the walker will adjust higher yet. I think it will work for your dad.

Yes it will. I bought this for my tall husband, 6' 4" for his knee replacement surgery recovery. It is sturdy enough to handle the weight. You can adjust the width and height very easily.

Yes I think it would be fine as long as she is an average size woman. The only problem might be the narrow deck, as you can see from the photo. My grandmother tends to weave around a bit when she walks, so it's too narrow for her.

This is a very sturdy walker. As long as the ground is level, you should have no trouble. I LOVE mine.

I'm sorry I can't help, I bought this for my mother who weighs 90 lbs. It works great for her.

It is adjustable to different heights, so I would think so. I am 5'4" and it works fine for me. I really like this walker. Good luck.

I would thinkit should be o.k. Most walkers are the same height. Plus the handles are adjustable. Also the walker is well built.

My wife, who is 5'4'' tall, used the walker during recover from knee replacement surgery. When the legs are set for her, there is room to raise the length of the legs an additional six inches (I measured before writing this), so I think it is a safe assumption that it would work for a 5'10' man.

I think it may be too narrow. It is perfect for my mother, who is 85# and 4'10".
