byACRE Cane Holder for Overland

Useful to have with me as needed

Glad I bought this as it’s great for holding my walking stick but it does tend to fall off when you fold the walker so you just have to be a bit careful not to lose it.

Like my byACRE Overland, it is beautifully well-made, does its job perfectly, and – being carbon fibre – is immensely strong. And the service from Assist Mobility is absolutely superb. But sadly only 4 stars because, unlike the clip-on rubber one on my old (cheap) rollator, it needs to be secured in place when loading and unloading into/from my car boot, and the adhesive discs supplied have not proved adequate to the task. As a result it frequently falls off – usually in the boot, but recently I was very lucky to recover it having lost it in a car park less than a month after purchase. It's now kept in place by an ugly, but effective, rubber band. So I feel that byACRE's brilliant designers should give it an early rethink.

The cane holder is necessary in my case to hold my walking stick. The holder fits nicely on the frame and accommodates my walking stick no problem, the stick is easily clipped on and detached and does not interfere when using the walker. Recommended.

Carbon Overland Walker
I am very pleased with my Carbon Overland Rollator 'it does what it says on tin' and keeps me upright when walking, which is a bonus. It's a doddle to unfold, fold, and light enough to pick-up and place in my Seat Ateca without dropping the seats, which is a win win situation me. The pump up wheels make this walker a lot more manoeuvrable than solid wheels, which I've had before. However, it's not all sweetness and light, the back rest is a pig clip on, if you have weak and arthritic hands, forget it, as you will need assistance. Don't forget to watch the back rest video before you start, it makes things a bit easier.

In conclusion, the Carbon Overland seems to be well made, looks good and ten times better than walking sticks. Although, the walker is supplied with a Pocket Bag the price of the add on assessories seem a tad too high, including the back rest (a strip of plastic) at £52 which for safety reasons when using the seat should have been included as standard. Other than that, the Overland is a life saver for me as I can now get out and about with confidence, walking a greater distance without the worry of falling over. It came well packed and ready to use straight out of the box. Communications with customer services are excellent. So, what's not to like. Recommended.

It’s perfect! So simple to attach and doesn’t detract from the streamlined aesthetic of the Overland. Doesn’t get in the way when the walker is folded. Holds my new neo-walk cane securely. Fast and efficient delivery service from Assist too!
