A walker having a frame which provides two front legs. Two rear legs are attached to the frame. A cross member provides support for the device which is supplemented by a link. Each of these structural members is in a pivotal relationship with the remaining members so the walker may be folded for storage. The cross member and link provide bracing for structural integrity, but are also incorporated into the folding structure. The optional seat is also in a pivotal relationship with the device. The seat prevents the walker from being folded while it is being used as a walker.
