Julius - I have been in the process of buying a 4 wheeled walker. I intend to use it on grass and gravel primarily. The very responsible UStep salesman told me U Step itself would not do well on grass and suggested this smaller model with 8 inch wheels (4 of them) I have had it a week and find it satisfactory. I looked for a brand name or number--there is none on it. He told me they (U Step) manufacture it but sell it for to other brokers who put their brand on it. The cost was $225., but it wouls be only $100 if you bought the big $640 UStep too (what a bargain) Nancy deGrazia Julius Margolis wrote: > Hi All.
