Abstract: A safety walker includes a rigid framework which surrounds the front, back and sides of a handicapped person. The framework includes two sections which are hinged together at one side of the framework. The two sections can be opened with respect to each other to admit entry of the handicapped person. After entry of the handicapped person, the hinged sections are rigidly locked together. A vertically adjustable seat is supported within the framework adjacent to the rear portion thereof. A plurality of legs having outwardly flared lower portions with casters attached thereto support the framework and allow the safety walker to be rolled along a walking surface. A heavily cushioned support cord extends between the front of the seat and the front portion of the framework and functions as a saddle to partially support the weight of the person if he or she stumbles and begins to fall while utilizing the walker.
