Built for real life

What stands out

●
Dual height adjustment
The frame sets low or high, which moves the seat as well as the handles. Low gives an 18.75" seat with handles from 29.75" to 35"; high gives a 21.5" seat with handles from 32.5" to 37.75".
●
Steel frame
Steel is heavier than aluminum at 18.5 lbs. and it is what keeps the price down. The frame carries 300 lbs.
●
Large padded seat
The seat is 22" wide by 13" deep, wider than most walkers in this class, with a pouch underneath for personal items.
●
Locking hand brakes
Squeeze to slow the walker and push the levers down to park it. Nova cover the brake parts for five years.
●
Flip-up back
The backrest folds up so you can step into the seat from behind, then drops back down to support you while you sit.
●
Folds flat
The frame folds for a car trunk or a closet, at 24" W X 12.25" D X 44.75" H folded.
The Hieline Take

The Journey is the steel one, and that is the whole trade. It weighs 18.5 lbs. where Nova's aluminum walkers weigh 13 to 16, and in exchange it is one of the cheapest four-wheel walkers with a seat that Nova make. What you get for the weight is a genuinely useful piece of engineering: the frame has two height settings, low and high, and switching between them moves the seat as well as the handles. That means one Journey covers users from 4'9" to 6'0", where most walkers in this range ask you to pick a seat height at the checkout and live with it. If you are buying for someone whose height you are not certain of, or for a household where two people will use it, that flexibility is worth more than the three pounds. If you will be lifting it into a car every day, buy aluminum instead.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • want one walker that adjusts to a low or a high seat rather than buying a fixed size
  • are shopping on price and do not mind a steel frame
  • want a wide seat, at 22" across
  • need to sit and rest partway through a walk
  • are between 4'9" and 6'0" tall

Look elsewhere if you

  • weigh more than 300 lbs., where a bariatric frame is the right choice
  • need to lift the walker often, because 18.5 lbs. is heavy for this class
  • walk mostly outdoors on rough ground, where 8" wheels do better than these 6"
  • want a walker that arrives fully assembled
