Drive Medical Nitro Dual Function Transport Wheelchair and Rollator Rolling Walker Combo with Hand Activated Brakes and Back Support, Red

I bought this product for my mother, who is 92 and has dementia. It has delivered on all my expectations. Mom is only 4"11" and the low handle setting is the perfect height for her (as is the seat). She was very unsteady walking on her own but walks quite confidently with the rollator. An added bonus is that she can now walk erect, with her head up, vs. slumped with her head down. Since Mom has dementia, she has no idea how to use the brakes. However, I can walk beside her with my hand on the wheelchair handle to provide any assistance she might need in slowing down on ramps. The rollator is sturdy and handles outdoor terrain (sidewalks and some grassy/gravel areas) very well. I chose not to keep the storage basket on the unit (to keep things simple and light) but the seat very handy to carry anything we need (as we are using the unit as a rollator 100% of the time). The unit also folds easily and is easy to pick up and store as it only weighs 22 pounds. I highly recommend this product for anyone who is a bit unsteady or does not have the stamina to walk far on their own.

My wife has a variant of Parkinson's, and had tried other walkers. This one works so well we now own two, one for the house, and one we keep in the back of the car so it is always with us when we go out. The fact that it folds to just 8 inches thick or so makes it easy to transport. The build quality is excellent, brakes work well, it is a great example of good engineering, as it is both sturdy and lightweight. This item is perfect for those with conditions that allow them to walk but who tire quickly, as this allows for a rapid conversion from walker to pushable wheelchair.

My rollator/transport chair arrived today, and so far I’m over the moon. It arrived a day after ordering it, fully assembled. I was able to use FSA funds to purchase it, which is so amazing. And the rollator is awesome. I love the adjustable handles. I’m 5’8 and my partner is 6’3. Having taller handles is already so much more comfortable. I took it for a spin around the neighborhood. As a rollator, handles smoothly on pavement and grass. It stays straight even when I’m pushing it with one hand. It transforms into a transport chair in about 30 seconds. I haven’t gotten to test it out as a transport chair, but am excited to do so soon. It’s more comfortable than my standard rollator. It’s also easier to move around since it folds inward, I can push it while moving it in and out of the house, which reduces how much lifting I need to do. It feels a little heavier than my standard rollator but it’s still quite manageable. And it feels very sturdy and just well designed. 10/10. I only wish I could get it in another color, but that’s a small complaint in the grand scheme. I also got a few cupholders and clips to go with it, and they went on easily.

In October 2020 I bought my father a Drive Medical RTL10266 Nitro Euro-Style 4-Wheel Rollator Walker With Seat. He has loved this product and has used it nearly every day. My father is no longer able to walk more than a very short distance, and I discovered that Drive Medical provided a very similar product to the rollator but it had an added feature of converting to a wheelchair. This seemed like a perfect option to transport him when he is unable to walk. I ordered the Drive Medical Nitro Dual Function Transport Wheelchair and Rollator Rolling Walker Combo. The product was delivered on April 18, 2024 and went unused until we had a family vacation with my dad over Memorial weekend. By the third day of our vacation, the wheelchair was no longer usable. The front wheels began wobbling and eventually bent. In addition, a screw came out of the back support and could not be found. This created a huge impact on our vacation with our dad because we no longer had a wheelchair to transport him. Amazon’s return window for this product expired on May 18, 2024. We hadn’t even used the product by then. We are hopeful that Amazon or Drive Medical will still allow a return and refund of this product that didn’t even last 3 days.

We haven’t used this much, but if you want a little foldable wheelchair, this seems perfect.My girlfriend has seizures, so having self controlled wheels isn’t really helpful. She loves how it feels on her back and her feet and will use it as a chair at the dog park. If she has a seizure, I can just scoot her away without having to carry her. Very nice design. I can throw it in my car. Purchased used like new and it appeared new to me. Still had plastic covers and stuff. The other model, the nitro sprint, is a little awkward. You have to remove the back rest to sit on it and be pushed. If you can’t quite afford this one, try the open box models.

It looks great and is light weight. Components such as screws are not durable after heavy use. Maintenance is always needed and you’re never sure if the chair will fall apart when you most need it.
