The STAR 8
Built for real life

What stands out

●
Push-button height adjustment
The handles and the legs move on push buttons, so the seat height and the handle height change in seconds without tools. That is the difference between this frame and a rolling walker whose seat height is fixed when you buy it.
●
Locking hand brakes
The levers slow the walker as you squeeze them. Push down to park it before you sit and lift to release. Nova covers the brake parts for five years.
●
Padded seat with a pouch underneath
The seat is padded and wipe-clean, and the pouch under it holds personal items out of sight while you walk.
●
Lock & Lift
A pin holds the frame in the folded position, so it stays shut while you lift it into a car or stand it in a closet.
●
Built-in foot pedals
Pedals on the rear legs let you tip the front wheels over a threshold or a curb lip rather than lifting the frame.
●
Oval-shaped tubing
The frame tubes are oval rather than round, which puts more material where the frame is loaded without adding width at the handles.
The Hieline Take

The Star 8 is the middle of Nova's rolling walker range and the reason to pick it over the cheaper frames is the push-button adjustment. On most rolling walkers at this price the seat height is decided by the frame you order, so if you guess wrong you live with it. Here the handles and the legs move on buttons, which matters more than it sounds: a seat two inches too high makes standing up harder every single time, and a seat two inches too low does the same in reverse. The two frame sizes exist because push buttons only travel so far, so you still pick Petite or Standard, but inside that choice you can tune the fit. Against Nova's own Star WB, which is thirty dollars cheaper, the Star 8 gives up the extra-wide backrest and gains the Lock & Lift pin that keeps the frame shut while you carry it. If you load the walker into a car on your own, that pin is worth more than the backrest.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • want the seat and handle height to adjust after the walker arrives rather than being fixed by the frame
  • are between 4'11" and 6'2", where one of the two frame sizes will fit you
  • walk outdoors as well as indoors and want 8" wheels for rough ground
  • need to sit and rest partway through a walk
  • lift the walker into a car and want it to stay folded while you do

Look elsewhere if you

  • weigh more than 300 lbs., where the Star Heavy Duty at 450 lbs. is the right frame
  • need a walker you lift rather than roll, which is a folding walker
  • need a three-wheel frame for tight indoor turns
