    Looking for a particular kind of 3 wheeled walker

    I have used a three wheeled walker for twenty years. I need one with 8" solid rubber tires that I can use to walk around on my farm roads. (Rough terrain)

    I used to get them with handlebars that went up and down by pushing in a button and moving the telescoping bar up or down and letting go of the push in button. Modern ones make it harder to raise and lower the handlebars with some stupid knob you turn but then need a tool to complete the adjustment.

    So, I am looking for one that has holes in the handlebar tube so that you can slide it up and down easily...like a beach umbrella.

    Anyone have an idea?

    Thanks in advance,
    Linda

    P.s. has anyone got any other makes that fold flat and handle rugged terrain?

    This make has the adjustable handlebars you were talking about, and they do make an all terrain model. No three wheelers though, and they fold in a unique way, but don't lay flat. Looks like they're well built but pricey.

    Some of these are three wheeled, well built, all terrain, but more expensive than the Volaris, on the other hand, much more "heavy duty":

      I was looking at the volaris but wanted to research more before I went ahead with it.
