Rollator Buyers Guide

Interested in buying a rollator to help in the aide of getting around? Here are a few things to look for that may help you choose the right one.

In the past you may of seen the old style walker which was functional but you had to lift it every step you took. With the design of the modern rollators they roll with every step. It is much easier than lifting. They also have great amenities like a basket, seat and brakes with a locking option.

As with great tools you have to use them as designed. Do not use a rollator as a wheelchair as I’ve gone in depth in an article here. One day when my kids were younger they were playing around with my mother’s rollator. They of course were pushing each other. With the lack of control and stability my son came inches from rolling down the stairs to the basement. Needless to say they never played with the rollator again.

If you have smaller items you’d like to place inside, you will want to have some sort of liner bag placed in there first, as this basket is not a solid material. But one cool aspect of this removable basket is that you can also attach it on the front of the rollator if preferred.
