Hi Debbie, Have you seen the upright walkers? I use the regular walker at night when I have to get up for bathroom visits because I don't trust my balance at night when getting up. I've seen the upright walkers and have thought about getting one when the time comes that I have to use one for regular walking. I use trekking poles now and they actually work pretty good for better posture when walking.

No, have not looked into upright walker but will google. I keep my walker and cane settings as high as they’ll go, but they’re not quite tall enough. I love trekking poles! But they normally don’t get in the car with me, as my walker is normally my Swiss Army knife in that it has a pouch (my purse items) and hook to allow me to carry bags. So in my small car, a spare cane stays there, but my walker is what normally gets loaded in & out of the car vs the trekking poles. Like you, my walker stays by my bedside at night, but luckily only to hold onto the 5 seconds it takes me to adjust to standing before starting my steps.
