I posted this on helpful items thread, but thought I would bring its own topic thread to top.

I used my stroller for trips, outings, and shopping.

It gave me something to lean on and transport load. But with my youngest now 11 yrs old, I decided for my trip to find some other means.
I bought this devise.....
I did not want too much look of geratric, sorry but I still feel vain, and did not want to have a true walker, I just wanted something I could load, lean on, and even sit on. Lots of people use the pull behind on wheels for their load, I wanted something to push and that I caould sit on too. Especially getting to flea markets again.

With the trip to Disney this is ideal as my daughter will be using the scooter.
I made a few modifications:

I removed the hand brakes, and cords as they are to stop forward action, I can do that.

I am also attaching a stroller type handle bar and raising the height to a push stroller height not to have to lean....
This model is about 20 lbs I think..there are lighter ones.

The Active Walker is both a rollator and walker! The Active Walker Rollator combines all of the best user-friendly features in a modern and sleek form. Design has been THE key element in the development of the Active from the start. This rollator is the perfect companion for taking strolls outdoors, shopping trips to the local supermarket, or enhancing your safety in and around the house. You can’t find a more user friendly or versatile walker anywhere in the world. The Active Rollator features an easy height and seat adjustment. A single easy lever folds and locks the Active into its convenient parking position. The Active sports built-in red reflectors in the handles, and reflective tape on the frame to give all round visibility when you need it most.
All Active rollators are manufactured to the highest quality standards and are CE marked as Medical Devices. Rigorous testing and quality control ensure that you get the best possible rollator that money can buy. This is the best of Scandinavian design at an affordable price.

Advanced Braking System
The Active walker has a patented braking system that puts safety first. The brake cables are protected and hidden safely away inside the walker frame. The brakes stay in perfect adjustment no matter which position the handles in, and there is no need for re-adjusting. When it is time for adjustment, there is a convenient allen screw located in the rear leg profil, and with a quick turn of the included wrench the brakes can easily be adjusted to accommodate for wear.

Large front wheels
Why stop walking when the terrrain gets rough? Large 25cm (10 inch) diameter front wheels let the Active roll over uneven terrain, sidewalk cracks, and door threshholds that make other rollators stop in their tracks. The Active travels just as well over gravel paths as it does smooth tile floors. But maneuverability was always a key issue for the designers of the Active. By using smaller 8 inch (20 cm) diameter back wheels, the Active retains its incredible maneuverability and tight turning radius that make it a great walking aid in the home, where space is limited.

Removable Handy-basket
Unlike other walkers that place a metal basket in front of the seat, the Active utilizes the space under the seat with a handy removable basket. With a capacity of 14 liters, there is enough room for a handbag, newspaper, food items and more. The seat protects the contents of the basket both from the weather and opportunistic theft. Flip the seat up to access the contents of the basket, or take the basket out with the convenient carry handles.

Curb climber
Even with the large front wheels, there are always obstacles that are too big to just roll over. But you don’t have to pick up the walker to get up that curb. Just step down on the curb climber and with a gentle pull back on the handles, the Active walker will raise its front wheels to easily maneuver over larger obstacles.
