Where in the car do you put it? Could you sit in the drivers seat, fold it whilst seated and lift it over yourself to the passenger seat. That’s how folk I know do their wheelchair? But I suppose it depends on size and weight.Hope you have a lovely Easter - will you get to see your mum and see how she’s doing?January spends - £587.583

I don't know these nesh people - fancy not wanting to try something new when it's blowing a hoolie! Glad you are planning to use it. I know I can be guilty of putting new things away for a while before using them - I've no idea why. Possibly a hangover from the days when I overspent and wanted to hide how much I'd bought.

I have tried the walker in the car between showers. It won’t fit in the front but fits perfectly in the back & will just be behind the driver door so easy to get out. It was heavier than I thought but ok. So that done.New door mat/runner for inside has come & it is not quite as long as I thought purely down to my poor measuring. On the bright side it is clean & the two old ones are in the bin.I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Glad all is ok with the walker. Happy new door mat as well!"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4

Glad the walker fits into the car - and an upside you get to do a bit of weight training too
it looks brilliantly stableDON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.
