I want this for use outside. Indoors use regular walker. But outside ineed it to walk on sidewalk and cross streets. Is it sturdy enough to use outside

I use it outside...it's great!! I like the 'single' brake that goes across the back...really easy to use, and folds up to go in the car...I recommend this to anyone!! Cheers!!

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!

Mine broke using it inside. It is very light weight and would not be good on rough terrain, in my opinion. It is clumsy to fold.I would choose something sturdier; the one I use outside has the swiveling wheels closest to me and the front wheels a little further apart than the rear. It folds easier than this one. Unfortunately, if the tray is the feature you want most (like I did), you have very few choices.

It's a well made unit but seems more designed for smooth, flat or even sloped surfaces. You may want to look for something with larger diameter wheels and a larger footprint to provide more stability. You might also consider no wheels at all, just a fixed walker when outside. It'll depend a great deal on how rough the terrain is where you plan to travel.

I would say yes - while it is much lighter than some walkers - I find it very sturdy and easy to handle

Yes, it is sturdy enough for outside. I keep one in our car for my wife to use when we go for appointments or out to eat. Very study and light enough to handle, putting in and out of car.

Yes it is sturdy to use outdoors. Works well on paved surfaces. It also is good to use in and out of car. The hand-bar brake is easy to use with one hand.
142892
Yes. I really haven't used it enough to get use to the stop bar, but it does work. It is sturdy.

I would add that I have had mine only since Sept and it is broken; one wheel will not swivel and makes it hard to turn. It was used only inside. It works poorly on carpet, and I would not try it on grass, sand or gravel. Customer service refuses to assist me with a repair; I am going to talk to them again after the first of the year and if I get no assistance at that time, may report the problem to the safety agency.

Well we bought it for our 1 year old grand-daughter BUT our other grand-daughter has one and she is 3 and she still uses it in the garden for scooting round and using the inside for putting her toys in. It wouldn't obviously be any use as a walker but as a toy for pretend play etc its good-our older grand-daughter i can see still playing with it next summer when she is 4!!

It is sturdy enough to walk on if the ground around it is stable, such as if you place it within a walkway or bricks, stones or such. I haven't tried it just buried in sand or dirt.

It really depends upon your application. If you want this for running errands, getting from a building to your car and back, or other light outdoor use, it will probably be fine. If by 'out side' you mean traversing rocky or muddy terrain, I'd look elsewhere. The wheels are really made for relatively smooth surfaces, like pavement. Also, beware of large cracks in asphalt or concrete.

I wanted to know that myself. The skids drag grass and dirt, making it hard to push at times. I know the skids are ment for safety, but I plan to try wheels. I am very careful when I use my walker. I also need to replace one of the hand grips, otherwise it is the best walker I've used

As the tide is receding, you could certainly use it on the waters edge where the sand is packed solid. If the sand is soft and deep, you can't use any kind of wheels, but if your upper body strength is strong enough or you have a friend to help you can use it as a conventional walker, picking it up, taking a step, repeating, 'til you get to the roller-friendly sand. Works great on boardwalks and uneven sidewalks and pavements. Enjoy !

This is a doll stroller. It probably would be okay outside but my granddaughter plays with it inside.

I have not personally used it outside, but this is designed for indoor use. I am sure you could set it up outside and then take it back inside, but it is by no means rugged.

Yes...it's very sturdy. Only problem we had with it was that the handle to move it around wasn't long enough. When you use the handle and start walking with it to another location, your feet hit the bottom brace with every step...so its very awkward trying to move it from place to place...you can only take very short steps when walking with it...a longer handle would easily remedy this problem.

Although I don't have sidewalks I use to edge where grass is over growing a gravel path. I think you'd find it a useful tool. It's very sturdy too.

It is very sturdy. I actually used it freestanding outside a couple of times. Inside you should have no problems.

I did use this for longer walks, but I wouldn't recommend anything "off road". The tires are not designed for navigating dirt roads/trails or anything like that. But for sidewalk and indoor type walking (like in shopping malls), it works great. I used this stroller pretty much exclusively until my daughter grew out of the infant car seat.

Yes. We have no problems walking with this stroller on any of those surfaces. We sometimes have to off road on the paved trails we take her. Even so, it still works great. The only problems we've ever had have been in sand.

I think there is no perfect answer. For city and walking on sidewalks, this is wonderful. It won't do well on rocks or uneven ground. I am happy?

Yes the walker rolls well on any surface. I did not encounter any problems when walking.

Yes, it can be used outside. I only use it on the pavement or blacktop. As for Criss-Cross I dont know. I havent been able to get there yet, but I assume its possible.

My wife has used hers on gravel and in our yard. It will work in loose gravel but the harder packed it is the better. I guess it just depends on how rough the road is but I'll bet that if any walker will work, this one will.
