Drive Deluxe Two Button Folding Walker
The simplest walker Drive makes, and the lightest thing on this page. 5.5 lb of aluminium, rated to 350 lb, 20 in across the outside.
Before anything else
There are no wheels on this, and nowhere to sit.
This is a lift and step walker. You pick it up, set it down in front of you and step to it. It does not roll, and it does not carry a seat, so there is nowhere to rest partway along a walk.
- ✓Nothing rollsIt stays exactly where you set it down, on all four legs
- ✓No seatIf you need to sit partway through a walk, a rollator is the right thing and we sell several
- ✓You lift it with every stepWhich is why the 5.5 lb below matters more here than on any other walker
- ✓Each side moves independentlyDrive: each side operates independently to allow easy movement through narrow spaces
iWhy anyone chooses this. A walker that cannot roll cannot roll away from you. It holds where you put it while you step up to it, and Drive's own note is that each side moving independently gives greater stability while standing. Steadiness is the whole point of this shape.
What you actually lift
5.5 lb, and what else is on the shelf.
You lift this walker with every single step, so its weight matters more here than it does on anything with wheels. Every figure below is the manufacturer's published weight for a walker we actually stock.

- 20 lbMOBB Aluminum Folding Rollator
iDrive publishes 5.5 lb. That is lighter than every rollator we sell and lighter than the lightest walker that carries a seat. Lift a walker a few hundred times across a morning and the gap between 5.5 lb and 8 lb stops being a number on a page.
Getting around the house
20 in across, which clears a standard doorway.
Drive publishes the outside width of this walker as 20 in. That is narrower than the interior doors you walk through at home, so it goes straight through the gap instead of having to be turned at it.
- ✓20 in overall widthFigure for the outside of the frame
- ✓U shaped frameDrive: unique U shaped frame design creates greater clearance
- ✓Improved crossframeDrive: the patient is able to bring the walker closer to assist in standing
- ✓1 in diameter aluminiumDrive builds it for maximum strength while remaining lightweight
The frame, open. The U shape is what gives you room to step into the walker rather than over the front of it.
How it folds
Two buttons, worked with a palm or the side of a hand.
The two buttons that fold this walker are what it is named after, and Drive's note about them is worth reading if your hands are sore. They can be operated by fingers, palms or the side of the hand.
- ✓A push button on each sideDrive: easy push button mechanisms
- ✓Fingers, palms or the side of the handDrive's own list of the ways they can be worked
- ✓Each side folds on its ownSo one side can be closed to get through a gap while the other still supports you
iThat matters more than it sounds. A catch that needs a strong pinch is the part of a walker that stops being usable first. This one does not need a pinch at all, and a flat palm will do it.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
It is ideal for users who need maximum stability at a slower pace, indoors or out. The two button fold can be operated with fingers, palms or even the side of the hand, which makes it a favourite for people with arthritis or limited grip strength.
-
A two button walker has no wheels, so you lift and step with every stride. That gives the most stability of any walking aid, but a slower pace. A rollator rolls continuously and includes a seat and brakes. If you need to lean your full weight on the frame, a standard walker like this one is the safer choice.
-
Yes. The outside width is about 22 inches, well within standard interior doorways. Each side also folds independently, so you can narrow the walker on one side to squeeze past furniture or through tight hallways.
-
No. The walker ships fully assembled. Unfold it, set the handle height with the push button adjusters and it is ready to use.
-
The Adult size fits most users. The Junior size suits shorter users who need a lower handle range. In both cases, stand upright with arms relaxed: the handles should sit at the crease of your wrist. If you are between sizes or unsure, call us at 888 386 6233 and we will help you choose.
