Alys, My wife just got a walker for her mother, who was so delighted with
it she was reluctant to let go of it long enough to pay for it. Important
features for her were:
1. Large (approx. 5" diameter) wheels to cope with rough terrain.
2. Bicycle-type hand brakes to control the wheels.
3. Flip-down seat for rest stops.
4. Optional wire basket for stuff.
5. Frame folds flat for transport or storage.
If you're interested, I'll find out the brand, model # and cost.
Regards, George
