[quote=Anonymous]The patronizing contempt for the elderly in some of these posts is just awful. The “Cadillac” walkers with brakes and a seat are popular with the disabled elderly I know. Don’t forget also that a shopping cart cart can do double duty as a walker too, albeit without brakes. When considering wheelchairs, remember that there are “wheel” chairs the person can push along by themselves, and “transport” chairs that usually have smaller wheels and require somebody else to push. One advantage of the latter is that they tend to be lighter than a regular wheelchair. That can make a big difference to the companion person. [/quote]
