Frequently Asked Questions

Is this mobility walker suitable for Australian seniors and what's the weight limit?

Yes, the Alston 2 In 1 Foldable X-Fold Mobility Walker is specifically designed for seniors and those with mobility needs. It has a maximum load capacity of 136kg, making it suitable for most Australian adults. The 6 height adjustment settings (84-96cm) ensure it can be customised for different users, and the 8-inch wheels are designed to handle various Australian surfaces, from indoor floors to outdoor paths and uneven terrain.

Can this walker fold up small enough to fit in my car boot?

Absolutely. The compact X-fold design is specifically engineered for portability. Simply lift the handle in the middle of the seat and the sides fold together seamlessly. The folded dimensions make it easy to fit into most Australian car boots, making it ideal for trips to the shops, doctor's appointments, or visiting family. It's lightweight and portable without compromising on stability.

What do I get if I order from Yarra Supply and how do returns work?

When you order the Alston 2 In 1 Mobility Walker from Yarra Supply, you'll receive Australia-wide free shipping on your purchase. If you're not completely satisfied, we offer a 30-day returns policy, so you can shop with confidence. The walker also comes with a large washable vinyl storage bag attached to the front, perfect for carrying shopping or personal items during your outings.

What makes this different from a standard walking frame?

This is a 2-in-1 rollator, which means it's much more than just a walking aid. It converts into a comfortable seat with a 125kg weight capacity, allowing you to rest whenever you need to without looking for a park bench. The dual-action loop brakes give you precise control—pull up to slow down or press down to lock in place. Unlike basic walkers, the ergonomic handles reduce wrist strain, and the large 8-inch wheels mean you're not limited to smooth surfaces indoors.

Are the handles comfortable for long use and will the brakes keep me safe?

Yes, the handles are specifically ergonomically designed to relax your wrists during extended use, which is important for daily comfort. The dual-action loop brakes are a safety feature that lets you control your speed by pulling up, or you can press down to park the walker firmly in place when you're resting or getting into a car. This gives you confidence and security whether you're moving around your home or out and about in Australia.

What surfaces can the 8-inch wheels handle?

The four large 8-inch solid PVC wheels are designed to handle most types of surfaces you'll encounter around Australia—including indoor wooden and tiled floors, outdoor paved paths, gravel, and lightly uneven terrain like parks or garden areas. The larger wheel size compared to standard walkers means better stability and easier movement, whether you're at home or out running errands around your local area.

How do I adjust the height and will it fit me?

The Alston walker has 6 height-adjustment levels ranging from 84cm to 96cm, allowing you to find the optimal position for your height and build. Simply adjust to ensure the handles sit comfortably at your wrist level when your arms hang naturally at your sides. This proper positioning reduces shoulder discomfort and strain during use. If you're unsure about the height range, contact Yarra Supply before ordering and we can confirm it's right for you.
