Rollators are easier to use than walkers because they are simply pushed like a cart rather than having to be lifted. Rollators are perfect for use outdoors where the surfaces may be uneven. They can also be used indoors, and some are even narrow enough to navigate through tricky halls and doorways.
How to Choose a Rollator?
When choosing a rollator, it is important to consider many factors. While price and style are significant, there are other refinements which are also important.

3 wheels or 4 – It is important to consider both 3- and 4-wheel rollatoroptions. Three wheel rollators are lighter and feature a tighter turning radius while four wheel models have seats and are more stable.
Seat – Is it important you have a seat? If so, that eliminates the option of a three wheel rollator. Seat height may also be something to consider. Some rollators have an adjustable seat height while other do not. Also think about the shape and material of the seat. Padded and contoured seats are far more comfortable than hard plastic.
Width – The width of a rollator is important if you live in a house with standard size bathroom or closet doors as most rollators will not fit through. A three wheel rollators can be partially collapsed to fit through tight spaces. Most four wheel rollators are larger than 22″, the standard width of a bathroom door.
Weight – Look both for the weight capacity and the overall product weight. Be sure you are comfortably under the weight capacity of any mobility product to ensure it will support you correctly. The overall product weight is important if you must lift it into a car trunk or up stairs.
These, along with price and aesthetic choice, should help you choose the rollator that best fits your needs.

How to Measure for a Rollator?
When considering a rollators, there are several measurements to take.

The first is the handle height. To measure for the handle height, start by standing up straight with your shoes on. Have a friend or family member measure from the crease in your wrist to the ground. This measurement should be the approximate height of the handle bars.

Next, measure the height of a chair you like and from which you can rise easily. If you have difficult with a chair that is too high or too low, keep that in mind when selecting a rollator.

Finally, measure the width of the smallest place you will need to fit through. Most often, that is a doorway or hallway. You need to be sure you can get in and out with your rollator.

Once you have these measurements, you will be ready to choose a rollator that will fit your individual needs.
