Can the wheels be reversed for use in tight spaces? I have a walker for regular use already, but I need one upstairs in tighter spaces

Yes, they can be moved to the inside of walker, will gain about 4 inches! Mine will go through 28" door with no problem.

Note: do not need to remove the wheels, just switch the tubing to which the left wheel is attached to the other side, and vice versa. Voila, wheels are now inside the legs.

only if the legs where the wheels go have adjustment holes on the inside of the legs as well as the outside of the legs.

YES. Take the Left one and put it on the Right and vice versa. BE AWARE: it will not be as STABLE but it works well and I did it to one of mine that I use all the time. bc

I haven't tried but once to move it. It was easy as it has wheels! If no stairs, you're good!!!

THe walkers have different legs. This one fit mine. I haven't used it in a while but I think that when I was looking for one to fit my walker this was the one that did. I do feel it could have used larger wheels.

I don't think so, unless you'd try to move it with the brake on. The brakes are really good, and may make it like your dragging the shelving. The wheels them selfs roll very easy even on carpet and are made very well.

My parents use a different Walker with a storage compartment so this has not been used. However wheels are oversized and it seems to be very well made. It may not have turning radius of roller with smaller wheels but looks to be very stable. Hope this helps!

We have only had the walker for about a week. Our son is able to reach the floor when he stands in it. He is able to push himself backwards but has not yet mastered moving forward in it. We have hardwood floors so there is little resistance and he is able to easily make the wheels move.

yes, it can be reversed - it comes all disassembled so that you can place the handle or back rest on either side.

If you drilled a hole in the long side of the frame you could install the wheels to work in the direction you want them too. As it is designed, the axle of the wheels goes through a hole in the short sides of the frame so they only pull out sideways.

Walker only used indoors, for going room to room. Walker is stable, and have not had any problem with it tilting backward.

No. It's too small for that, unless you build some model stairs to smaller scale. There's not much track on the floor at one time. Even a steep ramp would probably make it flip backwards.

Maybe if you remove the wheels. It's a sturdy cart, but not a steady cart. Moving a big TV around might be problematic.

You can't. This was the worst walker I have ever purchased you also have to disassemble it to store it. It doesnt work well on carpet either. Sorry.

Yes, the brakes can be locked just below the hand grips. This way the walker can be used for stability when rising form a chair to standing. Alos to use the seat on the walker.

Yes, the wheels just snap on, you could use them or not. If you don't use the casters, there are caps that protect the flooring. I've had this shelf/cart for quite a while now and still love it!

No you can't due to the position of the latches. If you turn it around you won't you won't have any room to put your feet.

Not without a lot of effort. It would essentially mean taking it apart. They don't just pop off and on, unfortunately. The front wheels are casters that could be relatively simple; however the back wheels are integrated into the rear of the walker and the housing is fused to the upper portion. To remove them, you'd have to separate the top from the bottom, which renders it useless...

Hi Allison! I would say that if you wanted to keep the cart stationary, you could do without attaching the wheels. It would make it a couple of inches shorter.... I like the wheels as then I can roll it around my kitchen to suit my needs. The wheels do lock on one side, so this keeps it in place if necessary.
