Etac Salsa

Dimensions (HxWxL):

650-800mm x 580mm x 560-660mm

650-800mm x 580mm x 270mm (folded)

Weight (without accessories):

5.6kg

Features:

Taped bar grips, strap brakes, folding plastic seat, detachable bag with velcro closure, no tray. Can be folded with the bag in place. Handle height and seat height are adjustable. As with the Avant, 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 walking frame does not stand when folded, though it is secure when unfolded.
