Vive Mobility Rollator Walker – Folding 4 Wheel Medical Rolling Walker with Seat & Bag – Mobility Aid for Adult, Senior, Elderly & Handicap – Aluminum Transport Chair (Black)
Had a Medline walker, had to walk hunched over.
This walker lets me stand up straight, plus the bigger wheels make it move better – more smoothly – especially outdoors.
Do miss the storage under the seat, and don’t like the provided pouch you can attach to the front. But, I use a small backpack for storage, works great. And this walker is much easier to fold up than the Medline.
Only used twice but can’t recommended enough.
Compact fits into hatchback boot with space to spare without folding hinged wheels up.
Sturdy.Comfortable.Even my granddaughter who is 7 says it’s awesome as she likes to sit on seat & be pushed around( only on flat in shops as to heavy.lol. )
Spent ages looking & am so happy I chose this one.
Also comes in a good range of colours.
I got pink.I’m in my 50’s & it makes me feel less like an elderly person, a bit more stylish.
If you want compact you & stylish look no futher.
Thanks to sellers fast delivery.
Thanks to manufactures for making it.
I normally use a wheelchair to go out but wanted to try walking a little more and going some places that are less wheelchair accessible. However I get exhausted/light headed really quickly and need to sit down a lot. This has been a great solution. It folds down easily and is relatively light so can put in and out of car boot quickly and easily. It is smooth to push and feels steady. If I lean my full weight on it I don’t feel unsafe. The seat is sturdy and comfortable. Brakes seem to work well. The bag is super useful and has a shoulder strap if you want to take it off the walker. I was worried it would be too short for me but I have the handles one notch down from the highest setting and it’s the right height. I’m 5’9″. As a relatively young person I like the modern design and colour choices too.

Until it came we were not sure what it would be like but when it came it was everything and more solidly build folds nicely adjustable to correct height seat extremely comfortable back seat support is magic moves quite freely brakes work fine but is easy to push down a slope with wheels locked but overall fit for purpose highly recommend would buy this again and very stable in use

I,m 85 recovering from a fractured hip ( knocked over by running dogs ) and required something suitable to walk the fields again with my dog. I,m on sticks at the moment and not too steady at anytime without support and having looked at all the possible solutions from scooters to walkers I decide this was the one for me. It was so easy to unfold and get up and running and my dog is happy to walk along on the lead.
It is stable so I feel very confident. The brake system is very effective and the seat is absolutely ideal.
It is well made looks good and I am so pleased with it.

I took my Vive on a 14 day cruise November 2021. It was perfect. great while going on shore and walking on the ship. Several people stopped to ask about it. A good product . Well worth the money.
This is my third walker since 2013 and the best. We saw a lady on our last vacation using this walker, she said it was light weight and easy to transport. When we got home, we ordered one. It is easy to fold and light enough for me to lift and put in my car. I loved my new walker I bought my sister the same one only in red.
Works well. Has rubber wheels, much better than plastic. Added a cup/phone holder purchased separately. I’m 5’2″, but I adjusted handles to full height so I can standup straight. My son is getting me silver flame decals for Christmas for it. LOL Too cool! Very sturdy and collapses easily.
It is the best walker for my mother. This is her third walker. The others were hard to get in and out of the car no matter were you put them. This walker was so easy. It fits in the trunk or behind the front seat easily. Folds up nicely. Easy to lift. And it her my mother stand up straighter no longer is she hunched over and look at the ground or floor and running into things. And we have an older home, so doorways and hallways are narrow but with this walker she can go everywhere in the house. And can go outdoors and walk on uneven ground and not get stuck. She loves her walker. Thank you so much.
My husband uses his rollator all the time.It does take up a lot of space because the back rollers stick out some but it gives him more stability.It is easy for him to steer around.Folds up very easy.
Got this a few weeks after hip replacement because I have a farm and needed something that went over very uneven ground and pastures. Once I got the feel for using a walker with 4 tires it was super easy to walk a few acres to visit my animals. I liked the fact that I could sit if I had to. My only complaint is that the seat needs a cushion. I used a standard bed pillow which worked good for me.
Folding is difficult for me because of neuropathy and weakness in my hands otherwise I do like it. I haven’t fallen down like with the cane I would lose my balance.
This is a great Mobility Walker very easy to fold unhappy with one thing the bag was supposed to come in Black but it came and gray and the bag does not full proper has issues
I wanted something for the outdoors along with the indoors. This fit my imagination. With shortness of breath and unable to walk more than 30 yards, this unit also has a seat, and a large capacity bag for water, & other needs. The larger wheels (4 tl.) lets me walk on my 5 acres of land which I live on. Just had triple bypass, breathing a lot better, walking a lot further. Great for the outdoors & indoors !
The only complaint I have is that the instructions are not very good. I had to call to find out how to lower the back wheels. The pretty color booklet they send needs to be more explanatory. They totally left out how to lower back wheels. Learned about locking seat from reviews from others who purchased this product. Does not show how to attach bag, etc. We used our walkers on trip where we did a lot of walking on pavement and dirt and some gravel. They were fabulous. We love them.
This is the best walker on the market for size and value. I like that it has the wires for the brakes hidden inside the handles. Rugged for outside. Easy to use and assemble was a pop in the sides. My hips are in need of replacement so I am happy with the product.
Seems very sturdy and folding is challenging sometimes because I’m handicapped. It is smaller folded up which is what I was looking for. My old walker takes up the entire back of my car and I am trying to free up some space.
This product is fantastic and the seller’s were 5 Star; I’ve purchased 2 units because the 1st I received was missing a pin that locked 1of the handle bars in place. As soon as I contacted them they approved my return with absolutely no hassle.
So I ordered my second unit and it arrived before I sent my return.
Now the product review: I purchase this one after studying the vast array of competitors offered by Amazon. I had help from my physical therapist, providing some important features I should look for. I would recommend seeking advice of a professional.
I’m 6’1″ and weigh 275 so I needed a sturdy one, the Vive had what I needed, with it’s weight capacity of 300lbs and handles height of 36inches, plus big wheels to handle rough terrain and finally a good color selection, I chose blue.
The hand brakes are very effective and they lock as well. This was my first rollavtor but I was able to make a smooth transition from my old walker. One note especially for beginners is it has 4 wheels instead of 2, you must be careful and apply the brakes to keep yourself at a safe when going down hill; this is true for all 4 wheel model regardless of brand.
Perfect for outdoor use! Extra large wheels make it easy to maneuver on all types of surfaces. Easy to fold for packing away or going thru narrow areas. Comfortable seating. Great purchase!! Highly recommend for outdoor use.
We live rural so our driveway is rocks. Mu husband broke his femur and can’t be full weight-bearing on his leg for 3 more months. The walker has been a blessing. It handles well over the rocks, wheels are large enough to go over the gravel. The arm rests allow transfer of his weight to arm rests so not as much weight on his leg. His only complaint is the brakes only lock on 2 wheels and with rough terrain it would be safer at times with 4 wheel lock. A very sturdy and heavy duty mobility device.
I am so happy with my new Vive Rollator! The fact that it is a beautiful soft pink color is just a nice little plus. This rollator walker is sturdy, easy to maneuver and extremely light. I am now unstable when walking with my forearm crutches and needed another safe option of mobility and this walker fits the bill! I highly recommend!!
Love everything about this walker. I had a back injury and this has been my life saver.
Came earlier than expected can’t complain about that though!
My 4 year old likes to take a ride on the seating area and it’s super adorable.
Rides smoothly.
Purchased for my 85 year old dad after he started having issues with balance. He loves it and hasn’t fallen since receiving it over a month ago. He calls it his Cadillac!
‘This walker was very nice and made well. For me, 5′ 0’ tall and weak muscles I could not handle it. It is well made though and is nice for someone who could handle it. It weighs a bit much for me to maneuver and I could not fold it up and carry it anywhere.
Scroll and read no more. We bought this for my wife’s grandmother and she loves it! We wish we would’ve had one like this much sooner. It rolls and folds so smooth and is super light. Super easy for traveling. If anything I reccomend keeping this one in your vehicle.
Love everything about it the color the size because im no feather weight …the free bag can you invent an umbrella that fits on the odd shaped bars & is tall enough and strong enough if waiting for a bus and starts to rain?
I wished to get a rollator that could provide stability, easy to collapse and transport, comfort when sitting, easy to transport a cane and lack of entanglement on brake wires. I finally selected the Vive, which had good review and apparently met my criteria. The rollator was received in impeccable condition. It was easy to assemble, adjust its height and easy to collapse for transporting in the trunk by removing the two front wheels. However, the folding of the back wheels are a bit challenging, but not insurmountable. I hope that with time,it will get easier. In general, I am pleased to report that it met in general the expectations and it is very sturdy.
This is so easy to use. NO knobs to screw or unscrew to fit in my mini SUV.
THIS COLLAPSES VERY EASILY by pulling up on the seat handle and I can lift it up and grab the back arms and pop it in the boot.
It is amazing more aren’t made like this is. Great Job!
It’s a great walker! Maneuvers very easy and wheels are great for rough terrain such as sidewalks etc. also moves much quieter than standard walker. the only complaint I have is I’m 6′ tall and at the highest setting it’s not quit high enough to walk with comfort. If it only came up one more notch or was advertised as one that is for ppl 5’11” and shorte
I got it because it looks more modern and painted Candy Apple Red. My wife has used it a few times and likes it. The seat is okay and the bag holds her water and phone. There also is a cane-holder, but why would you bring a cane with you and leave the walker behind?
Like the big wheels. Like that I can make it narrower to get through narrow spaces without losing stability. Like that it folds when not in use. Like that the wires are enclosed, keeping them safe from a cat. Still getting used to it, but so far it’s been pretty easy to maneuver. I have to go up 3 steps to enter my building; I pull it up by the back. I hold on to the railing at the top of the steps, so I pull it with one hand. The big wheels make it easy. Like the pink color, which was a last minute choice. Four stars because but I’m not crazy about the bag.
It is super easy to fold up the walker by just one pull at the center of the soft seat. However, if you want to fold up the 2 back wheels, you will have to lay the walker down, duck yourself down to pull the lock one on each side, you will not be able to do this with it stand upright. Other than that, it is still a pretty reliable walker, my mom likes it.
This worked traveling by plane. Because I have some dexterity issues, it’s a little difficult getting the rear legs completely folded, but with help holding the walker, I was able to accomplish this. It’s much more compact than my every day walker and stays folded until you unfold. The seat is not as comfortable as my regular walker (no padding), but the ease of traveling with this makes the seat acceptable. The wheels are wide enough to handle a gravel road without tying to pull me every which way. All-in-all, it worked exactly as I hoped it would.
I bought a European-style walker a few years ago from a medical supply place and spent about three times what I paid for this one. When my mom came to winter with us this year, we decided to get one for her to use while she was here. When we couldn’t remember where we bought the other one, I decided to look to Amazon. The European-style has some advantages over the most common rolling walkers here in the States. It folds easily and is a more compact. Other walkers I’ve had take up a lot of room in the trunk of the car. In fact, with the walker in the car, there wasn’t room for much else. We can actually get two of the European-style walkers in the trunk of our car and still have a little room for other things. The back two wheels on this one will fold up to take up even less room than the other. Another advantage is the distance between the front wheels and the back. When you stand, you are standing between and in front of the back wheels, so you don’t accidentally kick the wheels while you’re walking. That also means that you are able to stand up straighter, not leaning over to keep your feet away from the wheels. I’m thrilled with this walker. Now, when my mom heads back home, I’ll have one for each car. Another advantage? This one is pink! My other one is a boring gray. 🙂
This is a sturdy, well constructed rolling walker. It’s mostly easy to fold up, though according to the online video, the arms of the back wheels should have a cotter pin that pulls out to allow the wheels to be easily pulled up into the rest of the walker for transport. Instead, there are wing nuts that have to be loosened. The included assembly instructions were minimal, necessitating finding them on the internet.
My hubby has serious balance issues (ataxia) and falls easily. He broke 6 standard walkers in one year, he falls and walker breaks. This walker looked STURDY, so I ordered it for him. It rolls easily, so he was worried at first, but he learned to use the handbrakes to slow it down, which has been working amazingly well. It’s larger than a standard walker, but the solid workmanship makes it so much safer to use. He loves his Vive rollator, we’re grateful that it’s affordable and it has improved his mobility!
I bought this Rollator for a friend. I have one just like it. He wanted a different one and I ordered it and when we got it he didn’t like it. He asked me to order the one like mine. It’s easy to fold and easy to bring the legs up. We need that since we Cruise a lot.
This is very sturdy for my husband who weighs 230. It is easy to fold. The only issue is sometimes the front wheels don’t stay straight when you start out and we have to keep wiggling it to get them straigh
Very easy to put together. Very sturdy and easy to use. It was easy to fold and lift into the back of our Honda SUV.
Unfortunately, when the home health physical therapist came to the house, it became apparent that we could not adjust the height high enough for my husband, who is about 5’11”. We are keeping the walker because, should the need arise, it will work well for me at 5’8″. We also have a friend who is facing a hip replacement and it will work well for them as well.
A good solid design. There is a video that explains how to fold and unfold it. Once I knew how, it was very easy. You should watch the video. I’m almost too big for this model at 6 feet and 295 pounds, but it works for me. Be aware that this is a medium and not a large. I hope that makes sense to you.
Broke within a month and does not open without pulling the latch under the seat and pushing hard. It is rusting in many places. I am 5’8″ and my knees hit the seat when I’m walking. The handles do not go high enough. Brakes and tread are amazing! I have many walkers. Basket is the worst. It is sturdy if you have the strength to get it to open all the way and latch the seat.
Got this for my grandpa since he was looking for a lightweight walker and he loves this one. He drives a corvette (no joke) and needs something that can slide in and out of his trunk that’s light weight. The finish on this is very sharp and it looks great. Better then the $200 and $300 ones out there.
If you’re even looking at this it means you’re thinking about buying one, this is a great choice.
This rollator walker is superior to any other walker. My husband is almost 93 years old and his balance is not good. This walker keeps him from falling. I need to guide him but he wants to feel independent. The long wheels in the back helps him with his balance. It is heavier and different because the wheels turns at 360, so he needs to go slower. He has always been an active man and he walks as if he is racing. Folding the walker is a pleasure. We take very little space on the bus and subway. Passengers do not have to walk over his walker. Thank You for this new invention. Mrs. Chang
This is very stable, portable, easy to maneuver. When I get tired, I sit down for a while. A whole lot better than conventional walkers and a whole lot easier to handle. I’m short and it was adjustable. Best of all, I don’t walk hunched over like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Very well made and sturdy. Well worth the money. Love it.
I am 75 years old with severe spine problems so getting down and pushing the levers to fold was difficult , but doable with help. I wish there was a better way to release it as I may not always have help. Bending over and holding it and trying to release the wheels was almost too much for me. Other wise I love it.
It is very stable and is easy to maneuver. My mom has been using a walker for years, but was still falling. She feels very comfortable and safe using this walker. It moves easily indoors and outdoors. She did not like the bag on the front because it was hard to get into. She improvised with a bag of her own and now everyone is the assisted living facility knows its hers.
Very sturdily built and easy to fold and use. The seat supports my 150lbs easily and pouch is handy for collecting my mail from the mailbox, a quarter mile down the roa. Helping enormously with my post-hospitalization strength-building–couldn’t do as much exercise without it. Forget the $60 brands–they are flimsy and don’t do what they promise. This one is $100 more but 1000x more useful.
I love that it folds nicely. I love the pink color. I do miss being able to have storage under a firm seat and a large bag on the handles where I can reach things inside. This one has the bag low on the front so I can’t reach things in it. Would I buy it again, yes.
I had arthroscopic knee surgery and had to hobble, clumsily, to the water closet every tens minutes with crutches, and nearly bit it every time. For anyone who’s had surgery, you know that you have to take care not to put that foot on the ground within the first few weeks. The Rollator made things a whole lot easier to get out of bed and make my way across the room. It barely clears the door frames, but it works! I continued using this after the first couple of weeks, outside, and it made my doctor’s office visits easier to get to. No crutches – no underarm chaffing.
Stores neatly out of the way, folded. Folds quickly. Fits great in trunk or backseat – doesn’t take up much space. Not heavy at all. (if you can lift a gallon of cat litter, you can lift this).
The seat is the best part. I became fatigued easily after the first 10 yards or so and could conveniently sit down, rather than have to rush to a chair or stop in the middle of nowhere. No slip brakes. The bag is convenient. I didn’t really need it, but it seems handy. Also love the color choices. I picked something that wasn’t standard. I made a lot of vertically limited people jealous with this.
Love, love, love this walker. It is pretty and not stuffy like the other models. I have received many compliments and have recommended it to a number of people. It is easy to open and click into place for use. The seat is sturdy and it handles like a dream. Pull on the handle on the seat and it releases the lock to fold. It folds from side to side instead of front to back making it easier to get in my car.
It is easily folded to fit in car. I feel it would be good to have a lock open mechanism as it can partially close when going through doorways, etc – never to the point that stability is compromised. My walker had a problem with adjusting one of the handles as the little silver button to adjust was missing. I didn’t want to have to return the walker & wait for a replacement one, so we just inserted a bolt & it works fine. I would definitely recommend this walker.
Bought for general use as a 2nd walker, for easier to fit into a Prius. Other walker is an expensive, all-terrain, great for gardening, but hard to fit in car and too bulky in crowds or at medical appointments. Super easy to assemble (just insert front wheels and untie back wheels assembly). The seat is comfortable, the folded walker is significantly smaller than my others, but has the benefit of excellent stability due to placement of the rear wheels and the width of the frame. This design allows users the ability to walk forward without leaning over, since you have ample space to walk with the frame. It weighs 20 lbs, in case you need help lifting it into a vehicle. I looked around a lot and this seems fits all my needs for stability, compact folding & ease of use. I am giving a 3rd walker away, since the Vive Folding Walker will fit all my needs. The all-terrain is for gardening. Note: The front bag just slips on with 2 loops so it falls off easily. Remove for folding. I am going to add Velcro strips on each side of the walker and the bag. (just the wide peel and stick type should do.) Minor issue & not enough to change my mind. Great walker!
The design of the legs and wheel placement provide a better center of balance. Once I figure out the right way for me to pick it up to put it in the trunk, it will easier to get it in and out of my car. The fact that the back legs can be folded up and the front wheels easily come on & off to take up less room, when necessary, is a big plus.
My 82 yo mom LOVES, LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her “Pink Lady”! It’s so lightweight that it can be folded with one hand and easily carried with one hand. It’s so light that she’s able to lift it with one hand to bring it from the street to the sidewalk or over large stones, whenever necessary. She drives it over all kinds of terrain and it handles bumps and jolts and maintains its stability. It folds so compactly that we have no problems storing it on the back seat and doesn’t take up much room in the trunk. It’s unique and stylish; she gets compliments wherever she goes. It’s VERY stable and sturdy — she takes it with her when she goes to her Silver Sneakers classes and she’s able to complete the routines because once she locks the wheels, the chair strongly supports her gyrations. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that there should be a clasp to hold the unit together when it is folded into its most compact configuration.. All in all, it’s a GREAT rollator.
Love the walker overall, much taller and quiet compared to previous one, however if I were to change one thing is the back support. it’s too narrow/shallow. otherwise, great new walker that I hope will last years.
This walker is probably my fourth and is without a doubt the best one I have used. It is very sturdy and I am almost six feet and it fits me fine although it is adjustable for shorter people. The seat is sturdy and very comfortable and the brake handles are also contoured and make it easy to grab them. I fall a lot and broke four vertebrae and three ribs falling with my last walker and that wouldn’t have happened with this one. Plus it folds so easily I can put it in trunks and go out with friends. Highly recommend!!!
This was an item I ordered for my 91 year-old mother who lives in Colorado Springs, CO. She did receive the Rollator, but believes it is not the correct item. Unfortunately, I live in Medford, OR and can not verify what she received. I specifically order the Rollator Walker, as you have pictured in your message. However, my mother indicates the box reflects the item received is a “Rollator Wheelchair”and she does not want it. Therefore, I must figure out a way to return it. My mother uses no digital media (e.g., computer, cell phone), so I will need to get a return label via my email address and find someone in Colorado Springs to repack the Rollator for return. I am reluctant to rate the item because I am unable to look at it personally and assess (1) whether it is the item ordered, and (2) the quality of the product. I am sorry to have to return it, but it does not apparently meet my mother’s current needs.
We are very happy with the quality of the walker. It feels so substantial and able to hold my husbands large frame and weight. He also feels that he can handle it easily and likes the brake that holds while transferring weight. He will be using it mostly outdoors. It was easy to put together. We need to find a cup holder that fits the tubing on the Vive since it isn’t perfectly round – more oblong in shape.
Very satisfied with product.
A huge step-up from the traditional walking frame: it rolls easier so a person can cover more ground in less time, it has the large, easy rolling wheels so a person is les likely to get caught up on the small obstacles that trip-up a traditional walking frame (such as: extention cords, garden hoses and changes in carpet thickness), and it just feels secure (sturdy construction, wide footprint and good brakes). The seat and handles are also somewhat comfortable, so if a person needs to stop to rest, there’s an arm chair at hand.
There are no negatives to this walker, just trade-offs: the solid, sturdy construction adds weight, and the wide footprint takes some getting used to (akin to moving from a subcompact Honda Fit to Ford F-250 with an extended cab, a long bed and dual driving wheels).
I first purchased a Volaris Patrol, but returned it as overpriced. I can compare this rollator, which I then purchased, with the Volaris. This is much less expensive and works as well for me! This folds smaller than the Volaris products and still allows the user to adjust to customize the rollator. It also permits the user to stand upright with good posture while rolling along. Both are about 20 pounds, but this cleverly folds much more compactly, so I can put it in the tiny trunk of my Mazda MX-5. So far, this seems very well constructed and likely to last a very long time, but if it fails me, I can purchase a new Vive and still will have spent less than half the price of a Volaris! Turns easily, traverses fairly rough terrain handily. Seat is comfortable. Buy it!
I am in my pre-bariatric surgery protocol and needed to be able to walk outside. My back hurts if I don’t have some support and I needed a seat so I could rest. This walker is great! The larger wheels make going over rough concrete easy and the walker maneuvers with no problem. I did run into a little “glitch” when I was trying to release the back “legs” after unpacking it and snapping on 2 wheels. The directions said to “push a red button”. I had no red button. In fact, I had no button. I did find a little lever to slide and that did the trick. Even though this walker is wider than a “standard” walker, I had no trouble pushing it through my doorways. This walker is fairly heavy (my definition of heavy may be different than yours) and I may have trouble putting it in my trunk if I ever need to do that. However, that is not the reason I purchased it and it is making my daily walks a breeze! Delivery was made the day after I ordered it so that was a wonderful too. This was a great purchase!
I purchased the VIVE rollator for my mother after the airline bent her old one. She likes the hidden brake lines and the style and color of this walker. It is a little heavier than her old one. The brakes are kind of difficult for her to lock which makes it a good strengthener. The mesh seat is easy to pull up to fold the unit. The rear wheels are on extended legs that fold up easily and lock tightly when down. They are a little long in the rear which makes a stable base as well as a trip hazard. A nice feature is the small size it folds up to. The bag is a nice size to carry sweaters, purses and more. Overall it is a good sturdy walker with long rear legs.
I like this walker.. I have traveled several times with this on airlines… my only issue is having sporadic difficulties folding and unfolding ‘legs’… sometimes difficult… as a woman who travels this can be frustrating.. I got a duffel bag for use on airlines
This walker has transformed my life! Before getting my vive rollator it used to take me 5 minutes to go from one end of the house to the other using my old quad cane. Now with the rollator I can make it in 0.5 lite speed! Wow! In addition using my rollator walker is easier on my knees and back. Thank you for developing such a wonderful product. The folding ability of this unit is an engineering marvel. Again thank you for developing this great mobility product.

Just found out Medicare doesn’t like to pay for 4 wheeled anymore so off to amazon I went. The medical supply store near me charges $300 for a comp product. I read lots of reviews in the end I tossed the cards up in the air. Wtf. I have no idea if some one is a hack. I bought this.
Let me say I am in the medical profession and no I am not a paid reviewer. I paid MY money and bought this for my mom who is 83 years old, weight, about 190 and is barely 5 ft….if you stretch her out. She has NPH and a shunt, shuffles so badly that I really should put mops on her feet and get a clean floor too. I bought this so she could have an “outside walker” that I could have her use while on her walks with her caregivers as well as something I could fold to take with us when I take her out.
This product works great. The brakes are solid, it folds as flat as the travel chair I have for her and fits nicely in the Prius. I will say the brakes are a big deal as her older walker slides even though I had the medical supply place tighten the brakes. Would I suggest this Vive walker..sure. I have no regrets. The price was great and I was very happy…..it also can be put together by me..someone who hates to read the instructions and would prefer to put it together..myself
Was amazingly surprised by the quality of your product. It’s like the Rolles Royce of walkers. I have not had the opportunity to use it yet. I will be flying to Pasadna CA to attend a conference & this bad boy is coming along with me. I am sure it will help me get around and be able to sit when I need to due to a bad back. AMA
Purchased for a friend. She likes everything except the front wheels are the same size. (I have the larger front wheels on my Drive Rollator, (The larger front wheel provides feedback to the user’s arms when going up or down a small bump in side walk or pavement. This is major safety advantage from both our perspectives) She does like the smooth glided and quiet of not having to use a walker. The feature she enjoys is the way the device require both hands on the back which in a straighter posture; the attached satchel for medical papers and purse as well as this device color,(red) She is satisfied and feels safer with this item.
It is heavy….. works well for me with a height of 5’1″ to stand tall. However, family members who are 5″ 7″ and 6ft have to bend over won’t extend enough so they can walk upright. Not good for bad backs. Moves well so far.
I love this Rollator. Bought it to walk outside and can walk faster and farther than just using my cane. Very durable, feels like a quality piece. Just a little heavy. Plan to take it to Europe soon, will let you know how that works out.
The box the walker came in was marked Red however a White walker was inside. Did not send back because my husband was being released from the assisted living facility and needed the walker right away. The walker is light weight and easy for me to put into our vehicle when I take him to his appointments. My husband would have preferred red though.
Very Sturdy and easy for me to put in my compact SUV. I am 65 yrs old and don’t have any problem lifting it. I had to call Vive to ask how to unfold the back wheels. That should be in instructions. Real simple to press black rectangles on each side of wheel frame where it is attached to frame of walker and slide up if you know that is how it works. I hadn’t seen that before.
All I can say about the Vive Rollator Walker is “Wow”! Just “Wow”! It is far better than I had hoped. Beautifully designed, sturdy and well constructed, super easy to fold and unfold. Completely assembled except for attaching two of the wheels and the carry-bag, which took less than two minutes to accomplish (no tools needed). Because of compactness when folded, it easily fits behind the car seats and in the trunk. I bought the Vive because of the outstanding reviews and ratings it has received, even though it cost a wee bit more than the others I was considering. Very happy that this is the one I chose. Folding Rollator Walker by Vive – 4 Wheel Medical Rolling Walker with Seat & Bag – Mobility Aid for Adult, Senior, Elderly & Handicap – Aluminum Transport Chair (White)
very easy to put together-no tools required, just pop the wheels in. Folds easily for storage. Seems very sturdy and rolls smoothly. I think it will work well in the yard. I think we can work out something better than the bag that came with it though. Over all very satisfied.
This walker is very well made and sturdy. I’m under 5′ so the seat is a little higher than I would like, but not a deal breaker. It doesn’t appear to have a locking device when it’s folded, so it tends to move when trying to unfold the rear wheels. It rolls so smoothly allowing me to take steadier more natural steps, which a friend noticed and complimented on. And it looks nice! I’ve purchased other items by Vive and all have been high quality.
I normally prefer not to provide a review within the first two months of ownership of anything, to avoid judging a product unfairly. Sometimes it’s intended use is not fully understood or I misread part of the manual etc. On instructions from my wife, the user of the “Folding Rollator Walker by Vive” (hereafter the Vive Walker) I will make an exception. The Vive Walker has exceeded our expectations in every category and confirmed the many positive reviews already posted. We liked in particular the larger and slightly wider wheels that gives it some off-road capability and the longer wheelbase that provides for some extra stability. Folding the Vive Walker is quite straightforward and easy and the required trunk space is very reasonable. One minor problem, please improve the user manual! It took a phone call to Vive’s very helpful customer support department to find out how to lock the brakes. Also, if you plan to order a bottle holder with your Vive Walker, the Vive frame is made from very strong elliptical aluminum, 95% of the bottle holders offered by Amazon will not fit since they are designed for a tubular support structure. We will definitely recommend the Vive Walker to our friends and family if and when a Walker is needed.
I like it a lot. Having a back injury, I am not able to walk without a walker for the time being. It rolls very freely. Good thing it has handbrakes.I’m 5ft 11in, and the only reason I give it 4 stars is because I wish the handles could be raised a couple more inches. but if I walk close to the front, I can walk straight up, which I’m supposed to be doing. I just have to take shorter steps. For someone a little shorter, I think it would be perfect. Very sturdy, turns on a dime. One of the best I’ve used. The wheels are great. I walked around our backyard with no problems.
I purchased this for my mom. She likes it a lot. Its easy to fold and put in the car and moves with her very easily. The only thing is the bag doesn’t have a mesh so the oxygen machine can release the heat from the machine. Otherwise, this was a good purchase for my mom.
Managed the purchase for my mother to replace an older, used unit.
The instructions are week, had this been left to an 80-something instead of a more youthful pair (50 something and 20-something) it would have been a difficult process.
Seems sturdy. Bag is not as well attached as expected. Not really as ‘lap top’ friendly as originally perceived.
This is my first rollator. It was a tough decision. I’m so glad I got this one. It took just minutes to slide the front wheels on and adjust the handle height, and it was ready to use. It rollsso smoothly, yet is stable. I can’t go long distances without a break, so having the chair feature is very reassuring. If I need a break, I can take one. Before, I’d have to be sure I could make it to the nearest chair with my cane. This is great for distances. The bag allows me to take my tablet or small laptop with me when needed. I am able to fold it and lift it into the back of my car myself. Itssturdy, yet not too heavy to manage. It folds and unfolds easily. I’m very pleased.
My husband I both have this walker. We are the coolest old folks in town. We love them. Toured outdoor gardens with gravel and dirt paths. We were cruising. Our daughter helped with deciding to order these. She is a doctor and was impressed with the wheels. The seat is also comfy. We are very satisfied. We feel safe when we use them. Thanks for caring. Lolly and Will.
I have had 3 different rollator’s and this is the best- it is easy to fold and put in my car and unfold when I need to take it out. I would recommend this to everybody that needs this type of support.
Had a Medline walker, had to walk hunched over.
This walker lets me stand up straight, plus the bigger wheels make it move better – more smoothly – especially outdoors.
Do miss the storage under the seat, and don’t like the provided pouch you can attach to the front. But, I use a small backpack for storage, works great. And this walker is much easier to fold up than the Medline.
Only used twice but can’t recommended enough.
Compact fits into hatchback boot with space to spare without folding hinged wheels up.
Sturdy.Comfortable.Even my granddaughter who is 7 says it’s awesome as she likes to sit on seat & be pushed around( only on flat in shops as to heavy.lol. )
Spent ages looking & am so happy I chose this one.
Also comes in a good range of colours.
I got pink.I’m in my 50’s & it makes me feel less like an elderly person, a bit more stylish.
If you want compact you & stylish look no futher.
Thanks to sellers fast delivery.
Thanks to manufactures for making it.

I love it . It’s definitely cool looking. I am young and need it for mobility issues.

I love my walkerIt’s not perfect but it’s good enough to get me around. It’s not as easy to fold it up without help
I normally use a wheelchair to go out but wanted to try walking a little more and going some places that are less wheelchair accessible. However I get exhausted/light headed really quickly and need to sit down a lot. This has been a great solution. It folds down easily and is relatively light so can put in and out of car boot quickly and easily. It is smooth to push and feels steady. If I lean my full weight on it I don’t feel unsafe. The seat is sturdy and comfortable. Brakes seem to work well. The bag is super useful and has a shoulder strap if you want to take it off the walker. I was worried it would be too short for me but I have the handles one notch down from the highest setting and it’s the right height. I’m 5’9″. As a relatively young person I like the modern design and colour choices too.

Until it came we were not sure what it would be like but when it came it was everything and more solidly build folds nicely adjustable to correct height seat extremely comfortable back seat support is magic moves quite freely brakes work fine but is easy to push down a slope with wheels locked but overall fit for purpose highly recommend would buy this again and very stable in use

I,m 85 recovering from a fractured hip ( knocked over by running dogs ) and required something suitable to walk the fields again with my dog. I,m on sticks at the moment and not too steady at anytime without support and having looked at all the possible solutions from scooters to walkers I decide this was the one for me. It was so easy to unfold and get up and running and my dog is happy to walk along on the lead.
It is stable so I feel very confident. The brake system is very effective and the seat is absolutely ideal.
It is well made looks good and I am so pleased with it.

I took my Vive on a 14 day cruise November 2021. It was perfect. great while going on shore and walking on the ship. Several people stopped to ask about it. A good product . Well worth the money.
Had before. Not durable for the farm, but perfect for travel.
This is my third walker since 2013 and the best. We saw a lady on our last vacation using this walker, she said it was light weight and easy to transport. When we got home, we ordered one. It is easy to fold and light enough for me to lift and put in my car. I loved my new walker I bought my sister the same one only in red.
Works well. Has rubber wheels, much better than plastic. Added a cup/phone holder purchased separately. I’m 5’2″, but I adjusted handles to full height so I can standup straight. My son is getting me silver flame decals for Christmas for it. LOL Too cool! Very sturdy and collapses easily.
It is the best walker for my mother. This is her third walker. The others were hard to get in and out of the car no matter were you put them. This walker was so easy. It fits in the trunk or behind the front seat easily. Folds up nicely. Easy to lift. And it her my mother stand up straighter no longer is she hunched over and look at the ground or floor and running into things. And we have an older home, so doorways and hallways are narrow but with this walker she can go everywhere in the house. And can go outdoors and walk on uneven ground and not get stuck. She loves her walker. Thank you so much.
One of the best decision for my mom
Very comfortable and stable
My husband uses his rollator all the time.It does take up a lot of space because the back rollers stick out some but it gives him more stability.It is easy for him to steer around.Folds up very easy.
Got this a few weeks after hip replacement because I have a farm and needed something that went over very uneven ground and pastures. Once I got the feel for using a walker with 4 tires it was super easy to walk a few acres to visit my animals. I liked the fact that I could sit if I had to. My only complaint is that the seat needs a cushion. I used a standard bed pillow which worked good for me.
his walker worked really well in the yard. the wheels went easily over anything in its path. its alittle heavy but not bad. sturdy which means safe.
Folding is difficult for me because of neuropathy and weakness in my hands otherwise I do like it. I haven’t fallen down like with the cane I would lose my balance.
This is a great Mobility Walker very easy to fold unhappy with one thing the bag was supposed to come in Black but it came and gray and the bag does not full proper has issues
Only problem I have is that the height adjustment is a little short for a person who is 6 ft. Tall.
Very easy to fold, not very heavy and I love the swivel wheels.
I wanted something for the outdoors along with the indoors. This fit my imagination. With shortness of breath and unable to walk more than 30 yards, this unit also has a seat, and a large capacity bag for water, & other needs. The larger wheels (4 tl.) lets me walk on my 5 acres of land which I live on. Just had triple bypass, breathing a lot better, walking a lot further. Great for the outdoors & indoors !
The only complaint I have is that the instructions are not very good. I had to call to find out how to lower the back wheels. The pretty color booklet they send needs to be more explanatory. They totally left out how to lower back wheels. Learned about locking seat from reviews from others who purchased this product. Does not show how to attach bag, etc. We used our walkers on trip where we did a lot of walking on pavement and dirt and some gravel. They were fabulous. We love them.
It’s a bit cumbersome to pull tab to release legs of walker to fold
This is the best walker on the market for size and value. I like that it has the wires for the brakes hidden inside the handles. Rugged for outside. Easy to use and assemble was a pop in the sides. My hips are in need of replacement so I am happy with the product.
Seems very sturdy and folding is challenging sometimes because I’m handicapped. It is smaller folded up which is what I was looking for. My old walker takes up the entire back of my car and I am trying to free up some space.
This product is fantastic and the seller’s were 5 Star; I’ve purchased 2 units because the 1st I received was missing a pin that locked 1of the handle bars in place. As soon as I contacted them they approved my return with absolutely no hassle.
So I ordered my second unit and it arrived before I sent my return.
Now the product review: I purchase this one after studying the vast array of competitors offered by Amazon. I had help from my physical therapist, providing some important features I should look for. I would recommend seeking advice of a professional.
I’m 6’1″ and weigh 275 so I needed a sturdy one, the Vive had what I needed, with it’s weight capacity of 300lbs and handles height of 36inches, plus big wheels to handle rough terrain and finally a good color selection, I chose blue.
The hand brakes are very effective and they lock as well. This was my first rollavtor but I was able to make a smooth transition from my old walker. One note especially for beginners is it has 4 wheels instead of 2, you must be careful and apply the brakes to keep yourself at a safe when going down hill; this is true for all 4 wheel model regardless of brand.
I definitely recommend purchasing this product.
Perfect for outdoor use! Extra large wheels make it easy to maneuver on all types of surfaces. Easy to fold for packing away or going thru narrow areas. Comfortable seating. Great purchase!! Highly recommend for outdoor use.
This was what we were looking for. My mom is very happy with it and she loves the color. I got the red one.
We live rural so our driveway is rocks. Mu husband broke his femur and can’t be full weight-bearing on his leg for 3 more months. The walker has been a blessing. It handles well over the rocks, wheels are large enough to go over the gravel. The arm rests allow transfer of his weight to arm rests so not as much weight on his leg. His only complaint is the brakes only lock on 2 wheels and with rough terrain it would be safer at times with 4 wheel lock. A very sturdy and heavy duty mobility device.
I am so happy with my new Vive Rollator! The fact that it is a beautiful soft pink color is just a nice little plus. This rollator walker is sturdy, easy to maneuver and extremely light. I am now unstable when walking with my forearm crutches and needed another safe option of mobility and this walker fits the bill! I highly recommend!!
Love everything about this walker. I had a back injury and this has been my life saver.
Came earlier than expected can’t complain about that though!
My 4 year old likes to take a ride on the seating area and it’s super adorable.
Rides smoothly.
Purchased for my 85 year old dad after he started having issues with balance. He loves it and hasn’t fallen since receiving it over a month ago. He calls it his Cadillac!
‘This walker was very nice and made well. For me, 5′ 0’ tall and weak muscles I could not handle it. It is well made though and is nice for someone who could handle it. It weighs a bit much for me to maneuver and I could not fold it up and carry it anywhere.
Scroll and read no more. We bought this for my wife’s grandmother and she loves it! We wish we would’ve had one like this much sooner. It rolls and folds so smooth and is super light. Super easy for traveling. If anything I reccomend keeping this one in your vehicle.
Love everything about it the color the size because im no feather weight …the free bag can you invent an umbrella that fits on the odd shaped bars & is tall enough and strong enough if waiting for a bus and starts to rain?
I wished to get a rollator that could provide stability, easy to collapse and transport, comfort when sitting, easy to transport a cane and lack of entanglement on brake wires. I finally selected the Vive, which had good review and apparently met my criteria. The rollator was received in impeccable condition. It was easy to assemble, adjust its height and easy to collapse for transporting in the trunk by removing the two front wheels. However, the folding of the back wheels are a bit challenging, but not insurmountable. I hope that with time,it will get easier. In general, I am pleased to report that it met in general the expectations and it is very sturdy.
This is so easy to use. NO knobs to screw or unscrew to fit in my mini SUV.
THIS COLLAPSES VERY EASILY by pulling up on the seat handle and I can lift it up and grab the back arms and pop it in the boot.
It is amazing more aren’t made like this is. Great Job!
It’s a great walker! Maneuvers very easy and wheels are great for rough terrain such as sidewalks etc. also moves much quieter than standard walker. the only complaint I have is I’m 6′ tall and at the highest setting it’s not quit high enough to walk with comfort. If it only came up one more notch or was advertised as one that is for ppl 5’11” and shorte
I got it because it looks more modern and painted Candy Apple Red. My wife has used it a few times and likes it. The seat is okay and the bag holds her water and phone. There also is a cane-holder, but why would you bring a cane with you and leave the walker behind?
Like the big wheels. Like that I can make it narrower to get through narrow spaces without losing stability. Like that it folds when not in use. Like that the wires are enclosed, keeping them safe from a cat. Still getting used to it, but so far it’s been pretty easy to maneuver. I have to go up 3 steps to enter my building; I pull it up by the back. I hold on to the railing at the top of the steps, so I pull it with one hand. The big wheels make it easy. Like the pink color, which was a last minute choice. Four stars because but I’m not crazy about the bag.
It is super easy to fold up the walker by just one pull at the center of the soft seat. However, if you want to fold up the 2 back wheels, you will have to lay the walker down, duck yourself down to pull the lock one on each side, you will not be able to do this with it stand upright. Other than that, it is still a pretty reliable walker, my mom likes it.
This worked traveling by plane. Because I have some dexterity issues, it’s a little difficult getting the rear legs completely folded, but with help holding the walker, I was able to accomplish this. It’s much more compact than my every day walker and stays folded until you unfold. The seat is not as comfortable as my regular walker (no padding), but the ease of traveling with this makes the seat acceptable. The wheels are wide enough to handle a gravel road without tying to pull me every which way. All-in-all, it worked exactly as I hoped it would.
I bought a European-style walker a few years ago from a medical supply place and spent about three times what I paid for this one. When my mom came to winter with us this year, we decided to get one for her to use while she was here. When we couldn’t remember where we bought the other one, I decided to look to Amazon. The European-style has some advantages over the most common rolling walkers here in the States. It folds easily and is a more compact. Other walkers I’ve had take up a lot of room in the trunk of the car. In fact, with the walker in the car, there wasn’t room for much else. We can actually get two of the European-style walkers in the trunk of our car and still have a little room for other things. The back two wheels on this one will fold up to take up even less room than the other. Another advantage is the distance between the front wheels and the back. When you stand, you are standing between and in front of the back wheels, so you don’t accidentally kick the wheels while you’re walking. That also means that you are able to stand up straighter, not leaning over to keep your feet away from the wheels. I’m thrilled with this walker. Now, when my mom heads back home, I’ll have one for each car. Another advantage? This one is pink! My other one is a boring gray. 🙂
This is a sturdy, well constructed rolling walker. It’s mostly easy to fold up, though according to the online video, the arms of the back wheels should have a cotter pin that pulls out to allow the wheels to be easily pulled up into the rest of the walker for transport. Instead, there are wing nuts that have to be loosened. The included assembly instructions were minimal, necessitating finding them on the internet.
My hubby has serious balance issues (ataxia) and falls easily. He broke 6 standard walkers in one year, he falls and walker breaks. This walker looked STURDY, so I ordered it for him. It rolls easily, so he was worried at first, but he learned to use the handbrakes to slow it down, which has been working amazingly well. It’s larger than a standard walker, but the solid workmanship makes it so much safer to use. He loves his Vive rollator, we’re grateful that it’s affordable and it has improved his mobility!
I bought this Rollator for a friend. I have one just like it. He wanted a different one and I ordered it and when we got it he didn’t like it. He asked me to order the one like mine. It’s easy to fold and easy to bring the legs up. We need that since we Cruise a lot.
This is very sturdy for my husband who weighs 230. It is easy to fold. The only issue is sometimes the front wheels don’t stay straight when you start out and we have to keep wiggling it to get them straigh
Very easy to put together. Very sturdy and easy to use. It was easy to fold and lift into the back of our Honda SUV.
Unfortunately, when the home health physical therapist came to the house, it became apparent that we could not adjust the height high enough for my husband, who is about 5’11”. We are keeping the walker because, should the need arise, it will work well for me at 5’8″. We also have a friend who is facing a hip replacement and it will work well for them as well.
A good solid design. There is a video that explains how to fold and unfold it. Once I knew how, it was very easy. You should watch the video. I’m almost too big for this model at 6 feet and 295 pounds, but it works for me. Be aware that this is a medium and not a large. I hope that makes sense to you.
Broke within a month and does not open without pulling the latch under the seat and pushing hard. It is rusting in many places. I am 5’8″ and my knees hit the seat when I’m walking. The handles do not go high enough. Brakes and tread are amazing! I have many walkers. Basket is the worst. It is sturdy if you have the strength to get it to open all the way and latch the seat.
Got this for my grandpa since he was looking for a lightweight walker and he loves this one. He drives a corvette (no joke) and needs something that can slide in and out of his trunk that’s light weight. The finish on this is very sharp and it looks great. Better then the $200 and $300 ones out there.
If you’re even looking at this it means you’re thinking about buying one, this is a great choice.
This rollator walker is superior to any other walker. My husband is almost 93 years old and his balance is not good. This walker keeps him from falling. I need to guide him but he wants to feel independent. The long wheels in the back helps him with his balance. It is heavier and different because the wheels turns at 360, so he needs to go slower. He has always been an active man and he walks as if he is racing. Folding the walker is a pleasure. We take very little space on the bus and subway. Passengers do not have to walk over his walker. Thank You for this new invention. Mrs. Chang
This is very stable, portable, easy to maneuver. When I get tired, I sit down for a while. A whole lot better than conventional walkers and a whole lot easier to handle. I’m short and it was adjustable. Best of all, I don’t walk hunched over like the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Very well made and sturdy. Well worth the money. Love it.
I am 75 years old with severe spine problems so getting down and pushing the levers to fold was difficult , but doable with help. I wish there was a better way to release it as I may not always have help. Bending over and holding it and trying to release the wheels was almost too much for me. Other wise I love it.
It is very stable and is easy to maneuver. My mom has been using a walker for years, but was still falling. She feels very comfortable and safe using this walker. It moves easily indoors and outdoors. She did not like the bag on the front because it was hard to get into. She improvised with a bag of her own and now everyone is the assisted living facility knows its hers.
Very sturdily built and easy to fold and use. The seat supports my 150lbs easily and pouch is handy for collecting my mail from the mailbox, a quarter mile down the roa. Helping enormously with my post-hospitalization strength-building–couldn’t do as much exercise without it. Forget the $60 brands–they are flimsy and don’t do what they promise. This one is $100 more but 1000x more useful.
I love that it folds nicely. I love the pink color. I do miss being able to have storage under a firm seat and a large bag on the handles where I can reach things inside. This one has the bag low on the front so I can’t reach things in it. Would I buy it again, yes.
I had arthroscopic knee surgery and had to hobble, clumsily, to the water closet every tens minutes with crutches, and nearly bit it every time. For anyone who’s had surgery, you know that you have to take care not to put that foot on the ground within the first few weeks. The Rollator made things a whole lot easier to get out of bed and make my way across the room. It barely clears the door frames, but it works! I continued using this after the first couple of weeks, outside, and it made my doctor’s office visits easier to get to. No crutches – no underarm chaffing.
Stores neatly out of the way, folded. Folds quickly. Fits great in trunk or backseat – doesn’t take up much space. Not heavy at all. (if you can lift a gallon of cat litter, you can lift this).
The seat is the best part. I became fatigued easily after the first 10 yards or so and could conveniently sit down, rather than have to rush to a chair or stop in the middle of nowhere. No slip brakes. The bag is convenient. I didn’t really need it, but it seems handy. Also love the color choices. I picked something that wasn’t standard. I made a lot of vertically limited people jealous with this.
Love, love, love this walker. It is pretty and not stuffy like the other models. I have received many compliments and have recommended it to a number of people. It is easy to open and click into place for use. The seat is sturdy and it handles like a dream. Pull on the handle on the seat and it releases the lock to fold. It folds from side to side instead of front to back making it easier to get in my car.
It is easily folded to fit in car. I feel it would be good to have a lock open mechanism as it can partially close when going through doorways, etc – never to the point that stability is compromised. My walker had a problem with adjusting one of the handles as the little silver button to adjust was missing. I didn’t want to have to return the walker & wait for a replacement one, so we just inserted a bolt & it works fine. I would definitely recommend this walker.
Bought for general use as a 2nd walker, for easier to fit into a Prius. Other walker is an expensive, all-terrain, great for gardening, but hard to fit in car and too bulky in crowds or at medical appointments. Super easy to assemble (just insert front wheels and untie back wheels assembly). The seat is comfortable, the folded walker is significantly smaller than my others, but has the benefit of excellent stability due to placement of the rear wheels and the width of the frame. This design allows users the ability to walk forward without leaning over, since you have ample space to walk with the frame. It weighs 20 lbs, in case you need help lifting it into a vehicle. I looked around a lot and this seems fits all my needs for stability, compact folding & ease of use. I am giving a 3rd walker away, since the Vive Folding Walker will fit all my needs. The all-terrain is for gardening. Note: The front bag just slips on with 2 loops so it falls off easily. Remove for folding. I am going to add Velcro strips on each side of the walker and the bag. (just the wide peel and stick type should do.) Minor issue & not enough to change my mind. Great walker!
The design of the legs and wheel placement provide a better center of balance. Once I figure out the right way for me to pick it up to put it in the trunk, it will easier to get it in and out of my car. The fact that the back legs can be folded up and the front wheels easily come on & off to take up less room, when necessary, is a big plus.
My 82 yo mom LOVES, LOVES, LOVES, LOVES her “Pink Lady”! It’s so lightweight that it can be folded with one hand and easily carried with one hand. It’s so light that she’s able to lift it with one hand to bring it from the street to the sidewalk or over large stones, whenever necessary. She drives it over all kinds of terrain and it handles bumps and jolts and maintains its stability. It folds so compactly that we have no problems storing it on the back seat and doesn’t take up much room in the trunk. It’s unique and stylish; she gets compliments wherever she goes. It’s VERY stable and sturdy — she takes it with her when she goes to her Silver Sneakers classes and she’s able to complete the routines because once she locks the wheels, the chair strongly supports her gyrations. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that there should be a clasp to hold the unit together when it is folded into its most compact configuration.. All in all, it’s a GREAT rollator.
Love the walker overall, much taller and quiet compared to previous one, however if I were to change one thing is the back support. it’s too narrow/shallow. otherwise, great new walker that I hope will last years.
This walker is probably my fourth and is without a doubt the best one I have used. It is very sturdy and I am almost six feet and it fits me fine although it is adjustable for shorter people. The seat is sturdy and very comfortable and the brake handles are also contoured and make it easy to grab them. I fall a lot and broke four vertebrae and three ribs falling with my last walker and that wouldn’t have happened with this one. Plus it folds so easily I can put it in trunks and go out with friends. Highly recommend!!!
This was an item I ordered for my 91 year-old mother who lives in Colorado Springs, CO. She did receive the Rollator, but believes it is not the correct item. Unfortunately, I live in Medford, OR and can not verify what she received. I specifically order the Rollator Walker, as you have pictured in your message. However, my mother indicates the box reflects the item received is a “Rollator Wheelchair”and she does not want it. Therefore, I must figure out a way to return it. My mother uses no digital media (e.g., computer, cell phone), so I will need to get a return label via my email address and find someone in Colorado Springs to repack the Rollator for return. I am reluctant to rate the item because I am unable to look at it personally and assess (1) whether it is the item ordered, and (2) the quality of the product. I am sorry to have to return it, but it does not apparently meet my mother’s current needs.
We are very happy with the quality of the walker. It feels so substantial and able to hold my husbands large frame and weight. He also feels that he can handle it easily and likes the brake that holds while transferring weight. He will be using it mostly outdoors. It was easy to put together. We need to find a cup holder that fits the tubing on the Vive since it isn’t perfectly round – more oblong in shape.
Very satisfied with product.
A huge step-up from the traditional walking frame: it rolls easier so a person can cover more ground in less time, it has the large, easy rolling wheels so a person is les likely to get caught up on the small obstacles that trip-up a traditional walking frame (such as: extention cords, garden hoses and changes in carpet thickness), and it just feels secure (sturdy construction, wide footprint and good brakes). The seat and handles are also somewhat comfortable, so if a person needs to stop to rest, there’s an arm chair at hand.
There are no negatives to this walker, just trade-offs: the solid, sturdy construction adds weight, and the wide footprint takes some getting used to (akin to moving from a subcompact Honda Fit to Ford F-250 with an extended cab, a long bed and dual driving wheels).
I first purchased a Volaris Patrol, but returned it as overpriced. I can compare this rollator, which I then purchased, with the Volaris. This is much less expensive and works as well for me! This folds smaller than the Volaris products and still allows the user to adjust to customize the rollator. It also permits the user to stand upright with good posture while rolling along. Both are about 20 pounds, but this cleverly folds much more compactly, so I can put it in the tiny trunk of my Mazda MX-5. So far, this seems very well constructed and likely to last a very long time, but if it fails me, I can purchase a new Vive and still will have spent less than half the price of a Volaris! Turns easily, traverses fairly rough terrain handily. Seat is comfortable. Buy it!
I am in my pre-bariatric surgery protocol and needed to be able to walk outside. My back hurts if I don’t have some support and I needed a seat so I could rest. This walker is great! The larger wheels make going over rough concrete easy and the walker maneuvers with no problem. I did run into a little “glitch” when I was trying to release the back “legs” after unpacking it and snapping on 2 wheels. The directions said to “push a red button”. I had no red button. In fact, I had no button. I did find a little lever to slide and that did the trick. Even though this walker is wider than a “standard” walker, I had no trouble pushing it through my doorways. This walker is fairly heavy (my definition of heavy may be different than yours) and I may have trouble putting it in my trunk if I ever need to do that. However, that is not the reason I purchased it and it is making my daily walks a breeze! Delivery was made the day after I ordered it so that was a wonderful too. This was a great purchase!
I purchased the VIVE rollator for my mother after the airline bent her old one. She likes the hidden brake lines and the style and color of this walker. It is a little heavier than her old one. The brakes are kind of difficult for her to lock which makes it a good strengthener. The mesh seat is easy to pull up to fold the unit. The rear wheels are on extended legs that fold up easily and lock tightly when down. They are a little long in the rear which makes a stable base as well as a trip hazard. A nice feature is the small size it folds up to. The bag is a nice size to carry sweaters, purses and more. Overall it is a good sturdy walker with long rear legs.
I like this walker.. I have traveled several times with this on airlines… my only issue is having sporadic difficulties folding and unfolding ‘legs’… sometimes difficult… as a woman who travels this can be frustrating.. I got a duffel bag for use on airlines
This walker has transformed my life! Before getting my vive rollator it used to take me 5 minutes to go from one end of the house to the other using my old quad cane. Now with the rollator I can make it in 0.5 lite speed! Wow! In addition using my rollator walker is easier on my knees and back. Thank you for developing such a wonderful product. The folding ability of this unit is an engineering marvel. Again thank you for developing this great mobility product.

Just found out Medicare doesn’t like to pay for 4 wheeled anymore so off to amazon I went. The medical supply store near me charges $300 for a comp product. I read lots of reviews in the end I tossed the cards up in the air. Wtf. I have no idea if some one is a hack. I bought this.
Let me say I am in the medical profession and no I am not a paid reviewer. I paid MY money and bought this for my mom who is 83 years old, weight, about 190 and is barely 5 ft….if you stretch her out. She has NPH and a shunt, shuffles so badly that I really should put mops on her feet and get a clean floor too. I bought this so she could have an “outside walker” that I could have her use while on her walks with her caregivers as well as something I could fold to take with us when I take her out.
This product works great. The brakes are solid, it folds as flat as the travel chair I have for her and fits nicely in the Prius. I will say the brakes are a big deal as her older walker slides even though I had the medical supply place tighten the brakes. Would I suggest this Vive walker..sure. I have no regrets. The price was great and I was very happy…..it also can be put together by me..someone who hates to read the instructions and would prefer to put it together..myself
Was amazingly surprised by the quality of your product. It’s like the Rolles Royce of walkers. I have not had the opportunity to use it yet. I will be flying to Pasadna CA to attend a conference & this bad boy is coming along with me. I am sure it will help me get around and be able to sit when I need to due to a bad back. AMA
Purchased for a friend. She likes everything except the front wheels are the same size. (I have the larger front wheels on my Drive Rollator, (The larger front wheel provides feedback to the user’s arms when going up or down a small bump in side walk or pavement. This is major safety advantage from both our perspectives) She does like the smooth glided and quiet of not having to use a walker. The feature she enjoys is the way the device require both hands on the back which in a straighter posture; the attached satchel for medical papers and purse as well as this device color,(red) She is satisfied and feels safer with this item.
It is heavy….. works well for me with a height of 5’1″ to stand tall. However, family members who are 5″ 7″ and 6ft have to bend over won’t extend enough so they can walk upright. Not good for bad backs. Moves well so far.
I love this Rollator. Bought it to walk outside and can walk faster and farther than just using my cane. Very durable, feels like a quality piece. Just a little heavy. Plan to take it to Europe soon, will let you know how that works out.
The box the walker came in was marked Red however a White walker was inside. Did not send back because my husband was being released from the assisted living facility and needed the walker right away. The walker is light weight and easy for me to put into our vehicle when I take him to his appointments. My husband would have preferred red though.
Very Sturdy and easy for me to put in my compact SUV. I am 65 yrs old and don’t have any problem lifting it. I had to call Vive to ask how to unfold the back wheels. That should be in instructions. Real simple to press black rectangles on each side of wheel frame where it is attached to frame of walker and slide up if you know that is how it works. I hadn’t seen that before.
All I can say about the Vive Rollator Walker is “Wow”! Just “Wow”! It is far better than I had hoped. Beautifully designed, sturdy and well constructed, super easy to fold and unfold. Completely assembled except for attaching two of the wheels and the carry-bag, which took less than two minutes to accomplish (no tools needed). Because of compactness when folded, it easily fits behind the car seats and in the trunk. I bought the Vive because of the outstanding reviews and ratings it has received, even though it cost a wee bit more than the others I was considering. Very happy that this is the one I chose. Folding Rollator Walker by Vive – 4 Wheel Medical Rolling Walker with Seat & Bag – Mobility Aid for Adult, Senior, Elderly & Handicap – Aluminum Transport Chair (White)
very easy to put together-no tools required, just pop the wheels in. Folds easily for storage. Seems very sturdy and rolls smoothly. I think it will work well in the yard. I think we can work out something better than the bag that came with it though. Over all very satisfied.
This walker is very well made and sturdy. I’m under 5′ so the seat is a little higher than I would like, but not a deal breaker. It doesn’t appear to have a locking device when it’s folded, so it tends to move when trying to unfold the rear wheels. It rolls so smoothly allowing me to take steadier more natural steps, which a friend noticed and complimented on. And it looks nice! I’ve purchased other items by Vive and all have been high quality.
I normally prefer not to provide a review within the first two months of ownership of anything, to avoid judging a product unfairly. Sometimes it’s intended use is not fully understood or I misread part of the manual etc. On instructions from my wife, the user of the “Folding Rollator Walker by Vive” (hereafter the Vive Walker) I will make an exception. The Vive Walker has exceeded our expectations in every category and confirmed the many positive reviews already posted. We liked in particular the larger and slightly wider wheels that gives it some off-road capability and the longer wheelbase that provides for some extra stability. Folding the Vive Walker is quite straightforward and easy and the required trunk space is very reasonable. One minor problem, please improve the user manual! It took a phone call to Vive’s very helpful customer support department to find out how to lock the brakes. Also, if you plan to order a bottle holder with your Vive Walker, the Vive frame is made from very strong elliptical aluminum, 95% of the bottle holders offered by Amazon will not fit since they are designed for a tubular support structure. We will definitely recommend the Vive Walker to our friends and family if and when a Walker is needed.
I like it a lot. Having a back injury, I am not able to walk without a walker for the time being. It rolls very freely. Good thing it has handbrakes.I’m 5ft 11in, and the only reason I give it 4 stars is because I wish the handles could be raised a couple more inches. but if I walk close to the front, I can walk straight up, which I’m supposed to be doing. I just have to take shorter steps. For someone a little shorter, I think it would be perfect. Very sturdy, turns on a dime. One of the best I’ve used. The wheels are great. I walked around our backyard with no problems.
I purchased this for my mom. She likes it a lot. Its easy to fold and put in the car and moves with her very easily. The only thing is the bag doesn’t have a mesh so the oxygen machine can release the heat from the machine. Otherwise, this was a good purchase for my mom.
Managed the purchase for my mother to replace an older, used unit.
The instructions are week, had this been left to an 80-something instead of a more youthful pair (50 something and 20-something) it would have been a difficult process.
Seems sturdy. Bag is not as well attached as expected. Not really as ‘lap top’ friendly as originally perceived.
This is my first rollator. It was a tough decision. I’m so glad I got this one. It took just minutes to slide the front wheels on and adjust the handle height, and it was ready to use. It rollsso smoothly, yet is stable. I can’t go long distances without a break, so having the chair feature is very reassuring. If I need a break, I can take one. Before, I’d have to be sure I could make it to the nearest chair with my cane. This is great for distances. The bag allows me to take my tablet or small laptop with me when needed. I am able to fold it and lift it into the back of my car myself. Itssturdy, yet not too heavy to manage. It folds and unfolds easily. I’m very pleased.
My husband I both have this walker. We are the coolest old folks in town. We love them. Toured outdoor gardens with gravel and dirt paths. We were cruising. Our daughter helped with deciding to order these. She is a doctor and was impressed with the wheels. The seat is also comfy. We are very satisfied. We feel safe when we use them. Thanks for caring. Lolly and Will.
I have had 3 different rollator’s and this is the best- it is easy to fold and put in my car and unfold when I need to take it out. I would recommend this to everybody that needs this type of support.
