Question 1

For medline Premium empower: is the wheel plastic? and do you find the walker  top heavly and easy to tip over?  It seems tal.

Accepted Answer

The wheels are plastic but very durable. Dad walks 1/2 to 1 full mile daily with it. The larger wheels make it easier to use on grass and other terrain. The walker is well balanced and stable. We don’t consider it to be top heavy. It is height adjustable, my dad is 89 years of age and 6 foot with balance issues and we have it fully extended. He enjoys the seat, cup holder and storage compartment. It’s easy to fold by just lifting the seat. My 87 year old mother easily puts it in and out of the car for him. The company is reliable too. We had an issue and they quickly sent a replacement. Brakes are also easily adjusted. I feel it’s a great product and a good company to do business with. Good value.

Question 2

what is the range of height of the handles

Accepted Answer

It sure but my dad is 6’1” and it’s a good height for him.

Question 3

Can I get a walker with seat delivered and assembled?

Accepted Answer

I put mine together. On past purchases that require assembly it was very costly to have a product assembled

Question 4

How easy is it to convert to forward-facing wheel chair?

Accepted Answer

I would not attempt to convert it to a wheelchair.  While you can sit on it...brakes intact... if you needed to move forward like a wheelchair, you can "scoot" short distances using your feet, but because of the swiveling front wheels, I do not feel it stable enough to use as a wheel chair.  Wheel chairs have a different balance to them than the walker.  This walker is a definite Cadillac Limo as compared to the general walkers out there on the market...well worth the investment!  Hope this gives you some incite and help in your decision making.  I love this walker!
