ABSTRACT:
An improvement in walkers including a set of specially designed, spring biased, retractable casters on at least the four corner legs of the walker apparatus to assist the user in moving the walker apparatus from one point to another. The walker further includes an adjustable seating system situated to the rear of the user for ease of utilization without the need to turn around when seating oneself. Additionally, an accessory food tray sub-system is provided. The walker is designed to provide an effective means for invalids, the elderly, and the like to comfortably, easily and without fear move about an area, while also having a seat and tray readily available so that the user can rest and even comfortably sit and eat or engage in other activities, thereby relieving the user of the necessity of having to manipulate furniture in sitting and getting up, an often painful process for the infirm.
