Walking Aids
Not all Rollators have a seat – but the good news is there are plenty that do. Most of the four-wheel rollators and some of the tri wheel rollators incorporate seats – this enables you to take short rests during your journey.
The seat is located in the space between the handle bars and are usually hinged and have a small storage space underneath. The seat forms a lid for the bag or basket.
The locking brakes ensures that you can secure the rollator before turning to sit on it which is an excellent safety feature.
Most rollators are height adjustable by moving the handlebars up and down. This provides a range of hand heights for you to choose from.
The seat height is normally fixed for most types of standard four wheeled Rollators.
There are many Rollators with an easy to fold frame. Many 4 wheeled and 3 wheeled Rollators will fold easily for storage and transportation.
Some rollators fold side to side, others fold front to back. If you are looking for a rollator that takes up minimal space when folded then the ones that fold side to side will be the best option for you.
Virtually all 3 wheeled rollators can be folded for transport and storage. The folding mechanism differs on each model, but it is normally operated by releasing a locking mechanism nearer the front of the frame, this allows the handle bars and the rear wheels to be closed together – this significantly reduces the width of the frame making it easier to put in the boot of the car or on the bus etc.
Three Wheeled rollators are more manoeuvrable than a four wheeled rollator.
Not all walking frames will fold. The frame pictured is a lightweight aluminium height adjustable frame which is easily folded for storage and transportation. You will find this on our website.
The good news is that most rollators come with a bag or basket already attached. Some frames are designed with special attachments so that a larger detachable shopping bag can be carried easily.
All of the rollators on our website have a bag or basket already attached. This means that if the rollator is foldable then the bag is designed to fold with it.
Yes, there are several rollators that have both a seat and a bag. Often the bag/basket is under the seat, but this isn’t always the case.
The rollator pictured has both a seat and a bag separately – this can be found on our website with several others to chose from
