Customer Reviews of Carex Canvas Walker Basket
Customer Review: Good idea, mediocre execution
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this for my Grandmother's rolling walker (rollator) because it's pouch-like -- there's no wire grid for things to fall through.
Trying to use it, we discovered several problems:
(1) The mounting is poorly designed and the unit will only mount on walkers with the right "H" or "T" formation to its bars. A basic, cheap walker will work but a fancy walker or many rollators will not.
I had to machine a special bracket to get this mounted on my grandmother's walker. If the bars are not all 1 inch tubes, it will not work either.
(2) The mounting is flimsy and unstable. It has only one support, top center and then two rickety side braces, none of these are secured to the walker bars very well.
What this means is that bumping the walker or basket the wrong way (easy to do) dislodges the thing and causes it to come off or spill its contents.
(3) This is a bag that opens with a flimsy plastic accordion mechanism. It does not lock open and tends to collapse, especially when bumped. This makes it harder for Grandma to rummage around for things and is very annoying.

I purchased the Carex Canvas Walker Basket for my father-in-law. I researched the internet for prices and types of these products and after deciding on the Carex Basket, I saw that Amazon had the best price. I received the product a couple of days. It was packaged well and of very high quality. It was perfect for my father in law, he is always carrying things from one room to another. It's very sturdy and roomy as well. Much nicer, more attractive, and less bulky than a metal basket, the Carex Canvas Walker Basket is a great buy - with the "father-in-law seal of approval".Customer Review: Canvas Walker Basket

This is a nice product and a good concept. Unfortunately, I bought it before I received my walker, not realizing that not all walkers are built the same. It didn't fit on the Invacare walker that I ended up with, because the model I had has a V-shaped bar across the front, and the basket hook is right in the middle of the V and wouldn't fit over it. To use it, it would have to be off center. But for walkers with a straight bar, it is light and has a modesty cover. Wish it had worked out.Customer Review: Excellent Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
This canvas basket is an excellent product, that is much better than a wire basket. It has an internal frame that allows it to expand or contract, as needed, so it doesn't take up any more space than needed at any given time. It is very well made and durable. I added a couple of plastic tie-wraps to make the attachment to the legs more secure, which helped a lot, as it tended to come loose too easily without them.Customer Review: Great for my Father

I ordered this for my father, and it works like a charm, he tends to fall even with his walker, and the basket will come off when the walker goes over, but some velcro cord ties stopped that problem. Now people are asking him where he got it.
