If you are looking for a premium upright walker, we recommend considering the UPWalker Lite Original model. It offers best-in-class comfort and safety for users between 4’7″ – 5’10” and has ergonomic hand brakes for secure use. The best part is that it weighs only 15.5 pounds, so seniors will not have trouble lifting it when they need to use the bathroom, go out to do some shopping, or just take a walk outside without any help.
While our Editor’s Choice offers flat-free wheels, the UpWalker Lite Original upright walker goes the extra mile with the safe brake cables. Those are hidden within the frame and increase safety while walking since the wires cannot get tangled in anything. It also makes it easy to stand in one place with the brake cable. Plus, this upright walker is capable of holding up to 300 pounds like many other models on our list.
