Rolling walker buyer's guide

What's a rollator and who needs one?

A rollator is essentially a walker with tires.  It combines an adjustable height walking frame with small wheels.  Rather than lifting the walker to move, you just push. 

The notion of adding wheels to a walker originated in Scandinavia decades ago.  What a natural, since wheels and movement harmonize beautifully (think bikes, scooters, skates, skateboards, etc.)!

Don't misunderstand - the wheels don't do the work for you.  A rolling walker will not take you anywhere.  It has no engine, no batteries!  You control pace and direction; your muscles supply the power.  The walker simply moves to your command, easing, supporting, stabilizing.  

A rollator, then, is ideal for those who want to get up and go using their own two pegs, but who could use a little assist with balance or endurance.  If you find moving easier while holding onto a shopping cart, you might find a wheeled walker liberating. 

Has a loss of mobility clipped your wings?  Does just sitting make you restless?  Do you prize your independence?  Would you rather walk than ride?  Are you determined to preserve or regain the use of your muscles and legs?  Do you have a yen to explore new places and sample new experiences? 

Then grab hold and give a rollator a spin.  Kick the tires.  Fold it up.  See the world, or your special corner of it. We offer a 30 day money-back guarantee, because you will fall in love by then, or we want it back! 

Rolling walkers - what's right for you?

Interested in a rolling walker, but not sure which one to get?  Let us guide you through the selection process. The main factors to consider are:

  • your height and weight,
  • any special limitations you have, and
  • how stable you are.  

To narrow the field of rollators, first locate your height - petite, medium height or tall - in the table below.  This allows you to focus on walkers appropriate for your height.  

Next, rule out any rollators not sturdy enough to handle your weight. For instance, if you are tall and weigh 280, you don't want a rollator with a capacity of 275 pounds.  All the other walkers within your height range are serious candidates.

Now you're ready to examine each of the remaining rollators more closely, comparing features and options to find the very best fit for your needs.  If you'd like some guidance, just give us a call: 972-699-0071.
