Description
The BIOS Living model 56023 is a silver walker that folds with two buttons. It has 5 in front wheels and gliding skis at the rear.
What does it do and how does it work?
- Two buttons, one on each side, release the fold.
- The U-shaped aluminium frame lets you step close to a chair or a toilet.
- The front legs roll on 5 in (12.7 cm) wheels, and the rear legs wear gliding skis.
- The contoured hand grips adjust from 31.5 to 38 in (80 to 97 cm).
- The frame is 26 in (66 cm) wide and carries up to 300 lb (136 kg).
Who is it for, and who should choose something else?
- For someone who needs a folding walker that rolls on its front wheels.
- For a home where the walker has to fold away between uses.
- Choose a rollator if you need a seat and hand brakes.
Will it fit?
- Set the grips near wrist height with the arms down and a slight bend at the elbow; the range is 31.5 to 38 in (80 to 97 cm).
- Measure the doorway against the 26 in (66 cm) width.
- The weight limit is 300 lb (136 kg).
Using it day to day
- Build it from the box without tools: top frame, two middle supports, front legs with wheels, rear legs, two skis and three pouches.
- Open it until both sides lock, then push it a short step ahead and step in.
- Leave the skis on; a missing ski lets the rear leg catch.
- Take the pouches off for a tight doorway.
What does it work with, and what are its limits?
- It is a walker, not a rollator: there is no seat and no hand brake.
- The three pouches are for light items; a heavy bag unbalances the frame.
- Keep it off stairs; replace a worn wheel or torn ski with parts for this model.
- The warranty is 1 year.
How does it compare?
- The Drive two-button walker with 5 in wheels is another wheeled folding frame.
- A four-wheel rollator adds a seat and hand brakes.
- See the walkers range.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need tools to put the legs on?
No. Push the legs on until the buttons seat; if a button will not catch, stop rather than forcing the tube.
Can I take the pouches off?
Yes. They hang on the frame and are not part of the fold lock; take them off if a doorway is tight.
Is this the same walker as another brand's two-button frame?
No. Match model 56023 and the BIOS Living name; a similar shape from another maker is a different item.
