The easiest way to transport your personal belongings with you when you are using your walker is to use a basket that easily attaches to the front of your walker.  Baskets eliminate the need to carry around a bulky bag or obstructive purse, which are difficult to carry when your two hands are already occupied.

While you will find plenty of metallic wire walker baskets available on our site, we really urge you to take a look at the Carex Walker Basket, a unique alternative to the traditional walker baskets.  The Carex basket is unique because it is the only basket that actually zips up and conceals your personal belongings, just like a purse or backpack.  The black canvas exterior is durable and perfect for carrying all of your essential items.

If you’ve ever had to use crutches or if you are currently using them, you know that traditional crutches were not designed with comfort in mind. Even when used sparingly, traditional crutches can cause discomfort in your neck, shoulders, armpits, and wrists. To make the healing process more comfortable and get you back to full strength with less stress, the people at Millennial Medical have designed the In-Motion Pro Crutches with ergonomics in mind.

Millennial Medical crutches were created and improved through 34 medical studies, product research and consumer feedback. The unique design of the Millennial Crutch fuses ergonomics, spring assistance technology, and convenience to deliver the most comfortable and innovative crutch available.

In-Motion Crutch Features:
  • Spring-assisted tips that absorb most of the impact shock with the ground and increase your mobility

Cup holders are one of our most popular walker accessories and we are fortunate to be able to provide so many different models, each with its own unique benefit. Selecting one to recommend from the group is tough, but the Adjustable, Swing-Away Drink Holder truly stands out because more than any other cup holder, it addresses every major concern that customers typically have. Not only does it adjust to securely fit large and small containers, it also swings out of the way to allow easy passage through narrow doors and hallways.

The best way to avoid scratching your walls up or endlessly adjusting your mobility device in a narrow space is to avoid having your accessories poking out from the side. The swing-away feature allows you to keep your drink in your cup holder while you keep it conveniently tucked inward when going through a narrow passage way, keeping your walls scratch-free and your beverage full.

This walker has the highest weight capacity, at 700 pounds, while still maintaining a lightweight, folding frame of only 7 pounds. Its lightweight design allows you to move around effortlessly.

People often recognize basic improvements to certain products and think “wow, how was this not thought of before?” This is how we instantly felt when we discovered the Mobility Table for Bariatric and Standard Walkers/Rollators.

Carex Mobility Table

Unlike other Walker/Rollator trays, the Mobility Table allows you to position the tray away from the walker or rolling walker’s interior, so that you can keep the area within the frame open for your own use. There is no need to remove it when not in use because it can be positioned to the side, and you can also use it

Best Rollator Adjusts to Many Heights

Feb 21, 2012 3:36:25 PM

Finding the ideal adjustment setting on a mobility device can sometimes be tricky. When it comes to rolling walkers, certain customers may have limited choices because most rollators have a specific fixed seat height – standard or junior, and allow you to only adjust the handle height. For users like you, who may prefer a customizable setting for the seat height, our Pharmacist Recommended choice is the Drive Adjustable Height Rollator.

This rollator allows you to adjust the seat height in 1 inch increments from 18” to 22” to perfectly fit your body. This range of adjustment spans the seat height of junior or petite rolling walkers to the standard ones. This unique feature can really be the difference between a comfortable and uncomfortable experience, depending on your height and preferences.

Rollators are a fantastic essential for those who simply need a little support to get around on their own, and transport chairs are a great, lightweight, and space-conscious alternative to the standard wheelchair. But what about the person who is too independent to sit in a chair all the time, but still needs help on longer excursions? People facing this situation often try to make do with a cane or a walker, but there is really a much better solution out there, and its name is the rollator/transport chair.

These combination items are carefully designed to serve the function of both items without losing any of the benefits or convenience of either. They are carefully engineered to be comfortable and to fit the needs of anyone in need of a mobility aid. Some, such as the Mabis Rollator/Transport Chair and the Drive Duet, look almost

Every so often, something makes you stop and think, “Wow. I’m living in the future.” It may be a news article or a new study, something far out there and irrelevant to your daily life. Or, like in this case, it may be something that has just recently been made available to the general market. Prepare to be blown away, because today we are talking about carbon fiber, and what it can do for you.

Carbon fiber is a new, high tech material made in a long and complicated process. A mesh of carbon fiber strands are wound by hand around a central shaft, creating a unique and revolutionary product. When finished, carbon fiber products are extremely light and incredibly strong- in fact, they are lighter than aluminum, and much stronger than steel, making them the ideal material for…

Choosing Walkers for Children

Dec 7, 2011 11:50:16 AM

Choosing medical walkers for children can be difficult. The issue can be an emotional one for parents who never anticipated that their child might need assistance with mobility. Moreover, pediatric walkers do not have the same wide variety of styles and features that adult walkers do, which can make it difficult to find one to suit your child’s needs. However, once you fully understand the choices available, it can be much easier to decide on a child’s walker.

The Guardian Child/Toddler Folding Walker is a basic, economical option. This lightweight aluminum child’s walker is available in two sizes: the “toddler” size is built for users 3’4” to 4” tall, while the “child” size is meant for users 4’ to 4’8” tall. Both sizes feature height adjustable legs set wide to provide the best possible balance. This walker has comfortable vinyl handgrips and folds for travel, but few
