An article carrier attachable to a front brace of a walker and composed of a flexible material whereby the article carrier is foldable with the walker as the walker is collapsed for storage or transport. The article carrier has front and rear panels which extend generally over the width of the walker and has side panels the width of each of which is less than about 5 inches to reduce instability effects of the carrier which might otherwise result if the carrier were positioned too far outside of the space between the walker legs while at the same time reducing the space taken up by the carrier between the walker legs so that more comfortable use of the walker may be afforded the user. Tabs are provided on the side panels to attach to the respective front legs of the walker to prevent “bunching”of the article carrier toward the center. Thus, increased mobility may be provided to the user for a more independent and higher quality life.
