Etac Avant
Dimensions (HxWxL):
740-990mm x 600mm x 600-770mm
740-990mm x 600mm x 310mm (folded)
Weight (without accessories):
8.3kg
Features:
Taped bar grips, strap brakes, folding wooden seat, wire basket, optional tray (£13). Handle height and seat height are adjustable. A useful feature is that the height adjustment is done at the legs, which means that the base gets wider as the walking frame gets higher, so there is no loss of stability for taller users. This also means that the seat height varies with handle height, which helps with sitting comfort and ease of standing up.
Our verdict
Handling:
Light and easy.
Hand grips:
Comfortable and easy to hold.
Brakes:
Easy to operate, and effective.
Folding:
Tricky and the frame does not stand when folded, though it is secure when unfolded.
