When I still walked I had 2 walkers, the 1 for indoor use had a bag attached to carry mobile, book that kind of thing, the 1 I used in the garden had a seat, so I could walk a little and then sit down, I think it totally depends on what your needs are, good luck.

An occupational therapist would be best placed to assess your needs and advise on what type will suit you best.

Thanks very much. I have just bought an outdoor walker with a seat which I feel I can trust.

Lots to chose from ~ I have 2 at home Upstairs/Downstairs. (Stair lift)
I got a model which offered different seat heights, on Amazon. I’m short and hate legs dangling! They have a seat which opens to reveal a bag (I can stash bottle of beer, opener and glass). Invaluable for carrying stuff around and in a fatigue emergency husband can push me a short distance.
