Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

OK, here's the deal. Lots of people say this basket doesn't "fit". It seems most walkers are curved in the front and this basket is made straight across. I bent the basket (just a little) so that it would conform to the curve. Then I used the velcro pieces that were provided (three small ones at the top and the two longer ones on each side) to tightly attach it to the walker. It's been a lifesaver! I've been able to carry large drink cups, bowls, plates and even put my computer in the basket to carry them to my bedroom. I had anterior hip revision surgery (second hip replacement on same leg) on May 30, 2018 (yes, lucky me) and the doctor didn't allow me to put any weight on that leg for 8 weeks!!! (then only 50% weight for two weeks and finally 100% now). After I left the orthopedic rehab unit and went home, I have lived with this walker by my side for the entire time. I was also by myself during most days so I needed to get my diet coke and breakfast/lunch/snacks etc. back to my bedroom from the kitchen cause I couldn't bend my leg to sit in a chair. This worked great. I use these huge Bubba cups from Walmart for my drink and I would wedge it down on the bigger side of the plastic insert (see photo). Most people don't use those gigantic cups and would use the cup holder on the other side. The stock photo on-line looks like the cup holder would only hold a small cup - wrong... I could put the tall 24 oz Bubba cup from Walmart in it and it worked great. The plastic insert....some people say is flimsy etc...well, it is sort of but what they forgot to say is that it sits down in the basket so it certainly doesn't matter. It's just providing a liner type thing so items don't drop through the bottom of the basket and a holder for your cup while you're rolling, etc. So don't worry about those reviews cause you would never ever use it as a tray anyway. Back to the basket ... a cereal bowl and plates are too wide to sit down into the basket so when I wanted to transfer a bowl or a plate to my bedroom, I would fold over a thick dishtowel across the top of the basket to give the bottom of the bowl or the plate sort of a nest to lay in for transport. I have always been one to adapt and "when there's a will there's always a way"!! Plates were a little more difficult but doable..I would just keep my finger on the plate so it would turn over. I have to admit, once or twice it would tip over a little and my chips would fall.. but luckily... I had a "liner" that caught them! Can you tell I loved the basket. In summary, I think this basket is great and in hindsight, I would have paid 5x (or even more) than the $12.99 that I paid for it. If you need to do things for yourself even though you have to use a walker, don't let those other reviews keep you from buying this basket even if your walker isn't straight across the front. Take it from me...as I still roll away into the sunset...it's certainly a lifesaver!
