KneeRover Jr All Terrain Knee Scooter for Kids and Small Adults for Foot Surgery Heavy Duty Knee Walker for Broken Ankle Foot Injuries Recovery - Leg Scooter Knee Crutch Alternative (Coastal Teal)

My 8 year old sprained his foot near his toes and even with a boot couldn’t put any weight on his foot. So I became a pack mule, lifting his 75lb frame up and down stairs, and down the hall every time he needed to potty or when it was time to eat. This scooter is a back saver. My son is able to pull himself up onto it from the couch and zooms around to get where he needs to go without pack mule momma. Handling was stiff at first but husband oiled the handlebar and aired the tires up more and it’s great. Our son can easily enter our small hall bath to go potty without help. It’s stable when turning and the lower height setting (15” seat) is perfect for his shorter legs. The locking break is wonderful for when he needs to sit or adjust himself to transfer to a chair/couch. We haven’t taken it outside yet but he wheeled the scooter over a pile of blankets without any trouble. At this point I think it’s more a toy for him than a means of transportation. :) It’s saved my back and our summer!

I purchased this for my mom to use after her ankle surgery. Previously I had the larger version of this one years ago when I broke my leg, but I don't have that one anymore and it always used to get stuck in doorways. This little scooter on the other hand is not too wide and passes through doorways without any issues or scratching of the walls unless you're careless with it. I'm 5'3 and my mom is shorter than me and we were both able to find a comfortable position with the scooter. I honestly think this would work for most average heigh adults but anyone who is like 5'8 or more might have an issue.Setting up the scooter is also a breeze and only slightly confusing on one part but I quickly figured out my mistake. I would say that it's a great value and a necessity if you plan to leave the house at all because the tires on most of the other scooters do not do well outside such as on sidewalks or parking lots.

This took awhile to put together including unwrapping everything. I had wanted a four wheeler for stability but was unable to find an all terrain in the smaller size as I am only five feet tall. We added the fourth wheel and it is extremely stable and rolls easily over area rugs. I haven’t used it outside yet. It has been well worth the extra money.

Product took about 30-45 minutes to assemble. I wanted to add the stabilizer wheel but could not get the bolt off for the life of me. I work out 6 days a week and I had a man try. The bolt is stuck. I technically shouldn't need the stabilizer wheel as I have good balance, am young, and athletic, but I've had 4 falls while using the scooter in my 5 weeks of use. All of my falls have happened while trying to turn around. The scooter is not easy to maneuver in tight spaces. I've pretty much broken all the rules in the user manual. It says you shouldn't back up but that's literally impossible in my kitchen and bathroom. I have to go up and down curbs regularly as my apartment complex isn't accessible. I scoot faster than a regular walking pace. To make tight turns or turn around, I pop a wheelie on the back and rotate. It's actually been while using the scooter properly that I've fallen. The pneumatic wheels are excellent for sidewalks that are uneven. I end up needing to pump the tires with air about every 2 weeks starting the day I assembled it. The biggest design flaw is that the turning rods have a bolt at the hinge and my shoe laces will get caught. I have to stop, reach down to the ground and unhook my shoe laces, untie them and loosen, then re-tie. It's honestly better to just not have shoe laces but I prefer a good athletic shoe. I added an $8 phone and cup holder meant for a stroller and it's been a lifesaver. My knee was sore at first then again when I changed from a bulky Jones splint to fiberglass cast then again when my cast got bivalved. The soreness only lasts a day or so then my body adjusts. Therefore I haven't needed to spend money on an extra knee pad. Folding the scooter to fit in smaller cars is a huge hassle. The mechanism isn't self explanatory and it involves undoing the seat and having to remember what height you had it set at. I have to fold it for all the uber and lyft drivers then hop to my seat while they stow it in the trunk. Don't listen if you read other reviews that complain about the brakes. It clearly says how to tighten them in the instruction manual and even gives you the tool. All in all, this has been a mobility life saver, it's way better than crutches, but the iWalk 3.0 hands free crutch is the superior mobility aid for a lot of circumstances.
