Is there a parking brake on this walker?

Yes, lockable on the left and right handlebar grips. I love mine, It's worth every penny.

There are two parking brakes. One on each handle for left and right rear brakes.

No parking break. However because of the short wheelbase, i just turn my wheel toward the seat and it goes no where.

Yes, there is a button on each side of the handlebar theat when pressed locks the brake on that side.Its a great scooter..i highly reccomend it..

Yes, there are hand brakes on the handle bars on each side which you can use to slow down or you can lock each one and the back wheels lock.

No. The rear posts have high impact plastic slides that grip when pushed down to stop you as well as anchor the walker when you sit on the seat. When you are not pushing down, the. Rear slides spring up to minimize friction for walking. Best walker I have seen under $200 in 10 years!

yes two out of 4 wheels have brakes - press with feet to apply - be sure to install the two with breaks on one end of the unit

Not without a lot of effort. It would essentially mean taking it apart. They don't just pop off and on, unfortunately. The front wheels are casters that could be relatively simple; however the back wheels are integrated into the rear of the walker and the housing is fused to the upper portion. To remove them, you'd have to separate the top from the bottom, which renders it useless...

Yes, it brakes the rear wheel, but it's easy to slow down the scooter using your good foot. Also assembly was easy. I love it, I'm walking now, but still use it for long treks.

It does have brakes, so you can stop easily and safely. I used my knee walker for 9 weeks and never had an issue or accident. I think this product is very safe.

Yes, it does have brakes. When in a standing position you can put on the brakes. This is the second one we've had. The old one still is good, just the plastic on the arms wore off. My husband is going into a care home so I wanted him to have a newer one for there.

It has both. One hand brake on the front tire only and a cruiser (pedal backwards) brake.

I live on a gravel road and have used this stroller several times on it. The brake has never engaged on its own. We have been very pleased with this stroller and would recommend.

Actually, there are brakes on both rear wheels. I thought this was a great alternative to a regular wheelchair. Light. Easy to steer.

Yes the handles have a lever to push down and it prevents the wheels from rolling. A very sturdy walker.

There is a brake on your right hand. But I don't think it is a handbrake. It can be only used to lock the stroller, and it is not for control the speed. But for a stroller, I think it is enough.

It doesn't appear so. Even if you moved the wheels I don't think you could do anything with the brakes.

There is no brake but it really doesn't move when I try to get up. I just put my hands on the seat and lift myself up. I had my knee replaced but it pretty easy to get up. I hope this answer helps.

Nope. But I use it on top of plush carpet so I don't need them. The wheels sink into the carpet and form a self-brake.

No brake. If you have it on a hill it will roll away but there is usually a tool or something you could put under a wheel to keep it from getting away. If you are sitting on it on a hill you will have to use a "foot brake", like using your foot to stay in place. I've not found this to be a problem. On level ground one is usually sitting crossways to the line of travel so simply getting up does not cause it to move.

I'm not aware of any way to "extend" the brake. While this is a very handy light weigh transport chair I'd be a little concerned about any significant and/or long term use outdoors. Even if it will always be pushed by a care giver I think a wheel chair (large rear wheels) is more suitable for sidewalks, parking lots, etc.
