NovaJourney Steel Rollator Walker, Blue

Excellent, sturdy, well-made walker. I would definitely recommend this brand to anyone who needs a walker for themselves or a loved one. It has made my time having to use a walker so much easier. A regulaer walker doesn’t have a place to put anything so you can't get your own plate, or if you order take out how are you going to carry it? With the walker it not only has a seat it has a basket. When I order food if I can carry it on the seat, or in the basket, or maybe in a bag on one of the handles. Or at dinnertime I can go to the kitchen and make my plate set it on the and take it to the table or livng room with me, with the other walker I just had to wait for someone else to do that for me it hust was one more thing to make me feel helpless and defeated. I know this seems like a stupid thing to some of you but when you loose your mobility it's a very dehumanizing thing. So thank you Nova, for giving me some of mine back!

I love the purple and black, it is so beautiful. It is easy to put together, I am in my mid 60's and was able to do it quickly by myself. I am around 250 lbs and I fit comfortably on the seat and feel stable (if I was much bigger on top it would be snug around the handles). My 14 inch square laundry basket fits on the seat and is snug so I won't need a bungee to secure it, I will probably use it for both laundry and groceries. The adjusting seat and handle heights were a big factor in me choosing this rollator. I am about 5 ft 3 and the low seat choice is perfect. I researched a lot, Nova had the best ratings and has the best warranty I saw = 5 year brakes, metal frame for life and "other" 1 year (with original owner). I got the steel frame because I thought it would be sturdier, especially with my weight. I wonder if the aluminum frame might have been a better choice in case I lose more of my strength and getting this heavier rollator in and out of the car becomes a problem, there are not always people around to help. It is going to make things so much easier for me, I am happy that I decided to get one before it was an absolute necessity. I am new to walkers and have not used this one much, so will update if needed.

When I started to look at a new rolator Walker, I checked several models. I fell in love with this one for several reasons. #1: I could adjust the seat height. Being only 5'1", all other walkers I checked I could not always put my feet flat on the ground. With this one, I can comfortably reach the ground & feel safe getting up & down. The #2: the cost. The price is outstanding. I've priced this model from other sources & found there was a $50 difference in cost. Amazon out bids on the cost. Last reason: the color. It just so happens I'm a purple person. So when I found that Nova had this particular model in purple, it clenched the deal for me. I have already recommended this rolator to a few other ladies I know who need to replace their old rolators.

My 89 year old Mother LOVES her "Zip-Line" Rollator as she calls it, [We had Zip-Lined on Catalina Island when she was 86 years old] and this was the closest description she could come up with, to describe the smooth, easy, Fast and Straight movement she had experienced there!She had been having problems with balance issues while walking 'freestyle' and just refused to always carry and/or use a single cane. However I had noticed and made her aware that when shopping together, while she was pushing a cart with both hands, that she was able to move in pretty much straight lines with no wobbling to her steps.So after a few near-health threatening tumbles, she relented and let me buy her this Rollator, IF she could pick the color and 'Spruce It Up' with a patterned cloth cover to the seat and 'racing strip' decals. NOW she moves safer, smoother and faster than even I, when we walk together and she has the convenience of the under-seat storage basket to carry things, such as laundry for washing, groceries or containers to take food back to her apartment from the Retirement Communities Restaurant.Before this, she thought these were only used by "Old Folks" at her place, but now she loves it so much that she even uses it to sit at the tables in the her Restaurant for meals, saying that the cushioned seat is easier on her backside than the provided chairs AND easier to scoot up to the table edge too!

We borrowed one thinking it would be short term. (charitable organization) When we were faced with a permanent situation so we bought the same rollator that we had been using. Ours has been in constant service for over a year now, and it is as good as new. The only thing I have done is to heat shrink some tubing over the handles...my wife has very sensitive skin and the "good grip" of the handles slightly irritated her hands. The larger wheels make it more usable in varied applications. They have just enough grip to feel very secure. A rollator is a great option for many people as it gives steady mobility and you always have a place to sit and rest if needed.

The name of the walker has some how been distorted. It is Steel, not Steal. The color is not exactly the blue expected. It is more of a blue gray but still a pleasant unobtrusive color. This Walker is roomier than expected with a slightly wider seat than on many models. . The Manufacturer's web site is informative with several videos on various subjects including replacing brake cables. They have an easy to read, colorful parts ID chart. . A buyers delight phone system that gets you to an informed person almost immediately. Lots of accessory items available. Assembly. was relatively easy. It would have been easier had it not been for 2 legs jammed together from shipping but a rubber mallet fixed that. I didn't get the bigger wheels that I originally planned but so far the 6" ones have been acceptable though I might have preferred rubber wheels instead of smooth plastic. The seat and handles have plenty of adjustment in seat and handle height. The brakes work great and more conveniently than the loop breaks on some other models. So far I'm happy with my purchase. will add an update after venturing out in the world some more.
