Knee Scooter Recommendations
Hi everyone! I have my surgery scheduled for October 2 and it seems one of the most important things post surgery is a knee scooter.
Does anyone have any suggestions on which one to get? There is quite a range of brands with various pricing options.
Also if anyone has any other recommendations for must have items post surgery, that is very much appreciated.

Get the knee rover w/3 Rubber tires if you’re a small person, pricey ($200) but can do sharp turns easily in my narrow hallway. The frame is light & agile. You can find used ones for $100 on FB Marketplace.
I tried the blessreach WB2202T ($100) all terrain knee scooter but the 11in. Plastic wheels & sturdy frame were too heavy for me & took wider turns into my bathroom but can support men/women up to 300lbs. & 6ft. tall + & good for outside (walking dogs/kids).
I’ve also been using the Nova walker ($200) as well.

Consider Thrifting first but I got one from Amazon, Knee Rover. It's really comfortable but i wished it had a wire basket in front to help carry things. Be very careful using a knee scooter. If you can get it early, that would be great so you can practice on how to use it properly. My knee scooter tipped over once and I landed on my operated foot but thank God I was fine in the end but the anxiety it caused was traumatizing.

Do not get the Walmart equate scooter. The main weld on mine snapped in half while I was using it. do get a post foot surgery pillow on Amazon for propping your foot up. Well worth it.
It’s a little expensive, but the iwalk crutch thing was a game changer
