Stability

This upright walker is very unstable. I use it to improve posture and it does do that. I also use it for walking outdoors. Cracks in the sidewalks are a problem. The front wheels do not hop over even moderate cracks and the unit has the tendency to fall over forwards with you wanting to follow it. I did take one spill and it took three people to help me to my feet. To use it outdoors, I have to find smooth, level streets and walk in the center. I had to attach two small mirrors to the handles so as to watch for approaching cars from the rear. Larger balloon tires on the front wheels and even automotive type shock absorbers would be a great help. Even small pebbles sometimes cause a sudden stop and tendency to fall forwards. The unit has helped improve my posture and fix my lower back problems and is far better than a smaller walker.
