Journey UPWalker Premium Lite, Upright Walker for Seniors, Lightweight Foldable Walker with Seat, 10-Inch Front Wheels, and Motion-Activated Lights

I am very happy with this walker. I researched and then returned two walkers. The problem with ordering a walker on Amazon is that there was no place locally to see and try the walkers. The Journey Upright Premium Light is very well made. You do not run into the seat when you are walking. The arm rests are very comfortable. The larger wheels make it a great walker for walking around my neighborhood. This is the first review I have ever written, but I would highly recommend this product. It is one of the most expensive upright walkers, but well worth every penny.

I have been using one of the originals previously. I bought this one to replace it. It is Not as light as they suggest, The arm pads solid plastic and does not fit my arms but hurts to use them. One of the highly touted headlights was not included in the order. The seat is way too narrow for me and my butt is not that Big. The back wheels are stationary which makes it cumbersome to drive. I hate this and am sorry I didn’t replace the one I was using. I am so disappointed because I was looking so forward to driving it around the grounds of my new apartment at Luther Village in Arlington Heights!! I am going to spread the word with all my other retirees who live here.

The walker is well designed and made. A High quality. A bit pricey perhaps but it made all the difference for my decaying lifestyle. But...the box it came in was slightly damaged. Walker okay but a pad was missing. Number for customer service had been disconnected and to be honed, that concerned me. But a google search did turn up a current email and phone number. I received an immediate automated response to my email and within a few days was contacted by a human customer service rep who was happy to assist me. Great experience. If you have back problems to where walking is downright painful, this walker changed my life. I hope it will change yours as well. Highly recommended.

The orange plastic clip you are to release for transport and engage for walking snapped right off! Not sure how safe it is now and the Journey people say it’s back ordered. It looks to be a good upright walker but…..

Helps me keep my balance better. Very easy to fold. Stand alone when folded so easy to take out to a restaurant or wherever. Extremely nice back pad for seating. Add on bags are a plus. It desperately needs a holder for phone. The cupholder is rather useless when you’re walking things are going to inevitably spill. The cup holder is not tall enough to keep a cup inside it as you walk over to rain. When seated, the handle for closing is right in the middle of the seat. The handle also hinders putting a tray there to carry food from kitchen to table. The assist to stand bars are fabulous. They are a must have for any upright walker.

This is a beautifully constructed and sturdy device that moves quite effortlessly on every surface I’ve tested it on so far - interior floors, concrete, street asphalt and bike paths. It reminds me of a well constructed bicycle. The designers were very thorough. They included motion and light sensitive, detachable (magnetic), rechargeable lithium battery operated headlights. The brakes have handy hand manipulable adjustment nuts that do not require tools if the brakes need fine tuning. The brakes are effective. The webbing of the seat is very sturdy and I expect it to be very durable. The wheels have built-in reflectors. The two bags that come with it are well constructed. The front one has brackets that clip onto the frame. The other bag attaches with straps over the handle bars that close with velcro. The bag has links that will readily accept a carrying strap if that is what you prefer. There are padded, detachable covers on the arm rests that cinch with a spring loaded clamp on a draw string. It’s incredible easy to close up with the handle strap built into the web seat. The backrest strap slips effortlessly on and off the bracket on the frame. Everything “screams” well built. For the first time in a couple of years I can walk long distances (a 1/2 mile minimum) without stopping every 50 or so yards to try and stand straight and catch my breath. It is a godsend for me. My husband and I can resume our daily walks. Scoliosis has bent me forward and to the side compressing my lungs and organs. It makes breathing difficult. Walking with the Upwalker allows me to assume an erect posture and walk effortlessly again. Thank you.

The premise is I am a 100% Disabled Vietnam Veteran at 6'1 and 280 lbs. I have the large Upwalker for outside use, but required one for inside use. Journey Medical purchased Upwalker about a year ago and was not aware of the Premium lite which came on the market last year. The Upwalker was purchased from Amazon because Journey's inventory was back ordered. Received the product in two days and is now my full time Upwalker as it weighs 18 lbs. Without the Upwalker product line I would not be mobile. It is by far the best product on the market.

I did a trial test with mom and we do not feel secure with this Upwalker. It takes too much coordination to use the breaks. Dementia comes comes and goes each day plus dizziness and sometimes she forgets to use the breaks. I purchased this because she has arthritis in her back neck and her walker she had caused her to hunch more causing more pain. She has one step in her home to her kitchen& bedroom and the Upright walker is a bit difficult for her to get down the one stair. She grabs the handles and I feel she will fall forward when she tries to get it down the stair. She’s also not too comfy when she sits on the seating area due to all the upper arm rest and breaks. She is short but she is top heavy (200lbs) so she has to squeeze into the chair due to the upper arm rest and breaks. She is testing it out again today to see if we will keep it or return it.
