1. A walker for assisting a person traveling over a surface, the walker comprising: a generally U-shaped base portion comprising a front end and a rear end and including first and second generally longitudinally extending, spaced apart, opposed side members that define a generally open area between the side members and having surface engaging members affixed directly thereto such that in use the base portion is positioned proximate to the surface;an upper portion positioned above the base portion and comprising first and second opposed, generally horizontally extending handle sections that define a generally open area that is open at the rear wherein the handle sections are spaced apart so that a person using the walker is positioned between the generally horizontally extending handle sections, each handle section comprising a horizontal portion, a front end and a rear end; and,a pair of support members, each support member being arcuate and extending between the base portion and one of the rear ends of the upper portion, the support member configured and positioned such that all of the upper portion is cantilevered to absorb shocks as the walker travels over an uneven surfacewherein the surface engaging members comprise a plurality of wheels affixed to the base portion, the plurality of wheels comprise two rear wheels and at least one front wheel and the rear wheels are canted inwardly. 2. A walker for assisting a person traveling over a surface, the walker comprising: a generally U-shaped base portion comprising a front end and a rear end and including first and second generally longitudinally extending, spaced apart, opposed side members that define a generally open area between the side members and having surface engaging members affixed directly thereto such that in use the base portion is positioned proximate to the surface;an upper portion positioned above the base portion and comprising first and second opposed, generally horizontally extending handle sections that define a generally open area that is open at the rear wherein the handle sections are spaced apart so that a person using the walker is positioned between the generally horizontally extending handle sections, each handle section comprising a horizontal portion, a front end and a rear end; and,a pair of support members, each support member being arcuate and extending between the base portion and one of the rear ends of the upper portion, the support member configured and positioned such that all of the upper portion is cantilevered to absorb shocks as the walker travels over an uneven surfacewherein the surface engaging members comprise a plurality of wheels affixed to the base portion, the plurality of wheels comprise two rear wheels and at least one front wheel and the walker further comprises rear wheels attachment members comprising generally horizontal springs. 3. A walker for assisting a person traveling over a surface, the walker frame comprising: a generally U-shaped base portion comprising a front end and a rear end and including first and second generally longitudinally extending, spaced apart, opposed side members that define a generally open area between the side members and having surface engaging members affixed directly thereto such that in use the base portion is positioned proximate to the surface;an upper portion positioned above the base portion and comprising first and second opposed, generally horizontally extending handle sections that define a generally open area that is open at the rear wherein the handle sections are spaced apart so that a person using the walker frame is positioned between the generally horizontally extending handle sections, each handle section comprising a horizontal portion, a front end and a rear end;a pair of support members, each support member being arcuate and extending between the base portion and one of the rear ends of the upper portion, the support member configured and positioned such that all of the upper portion is cantilevered to absorb shocks as the walker travels over an uneven surface; and,a seat mounted on at least one of the base portion, upper portion, and support member. 4. The walker of claim 3 wherein the seat comprises a child seat. 5. The walker of claim 3 wherein the seat comprises a seat for an adult. 6. An adult walker having a front end and an open rear end, the walker comprising: a generally U-shaped base portion having a front end and an open rear end and including first and second generally longitudinally extending, spaced apart, opposed side members that define a generally open area between the side members and includes a central portion in which a user is positioned when using the walker;surface engagement members provided on the walker, wherein the surface engagement members comprise rear wheels that are canted inwardly;a generally U-shaped upper portion having a front end, a generally horizontally extending central portion and an open rear end; and,arcuate support members extending between the rear end of the upper portion and the rear end of the base portion whereby the upper portion is cantilevered to absorb shocks as the walker travels over an uneven surface. 7. An adult walker having a front end and an open rear end, the walker comprising: a generally U-shaped base portion having a front end and an open rear end and including first and second generally longitudinally extending, spaced apart, opposed side members that define a generally open area between the side members and includes a central portion in which a user is positioned when using the walker;surface engagement members provided on the walker comprising rear wheels;a generally U-shaped upper portion having a front end, a generally horizontally extending central portion and an open rear end;arcuate support members extending between the rear end of the upper portion and the rear end of the base portion whereby the upper portion is cantilevered to absorb shocks as the walker travels over an uneven surface; and, the rear wheels having rear wheels attachment members comprising generally horizontal springs.
