Drive Medical Dual Pad Steerable Knee Walker Knee Scooter with Basket, Alternative to Crutches

I recently had foot surgery and purchased the scooter on-line from Walmart. The scooter was delivered to my home a few days later. Small assembly was required, but super easy. I use the scooter to get around the house and at work. Love the ease of getting around and not having to deal with crutches!!!

I had a foot surgery that requires me staying off my right foot for 2 weeks. I had ergonomic crutches, but wanted to use that time to get stuff done around the house, so I wanted something that would give me more ability to move around an multitask (carry things around the apartment, reach for things easily). This totally does the trick. I feel so much more confident moving around on this than on the crutches (which I've only used once so far when I went out and stumbled a couple of times). I don't think I would have bought it had it been full price at the time, since it's only for two weeks, but I would recommend it at any price if you have a longer time that you need to be off one foot. My one complaint is that the pads dig into my shins a bit. They tout the two-part pad in their marketing materials, but I think it was a mistake to separate into two because it's the internal edges of each pad that really dig in and hurt from frequent us. I've been using my son's toddler pillow to pad it, but it's not an ideal solution. Some good firm foam would have been good had I known.
