Rollator Walkers
Rollators are mobility aids for walking patients. These rollators with seats are designed to provide users with stability and safety. A rollator walker with a seat is significantly different from a walker that has four legs or a rolling walker that has two legs and two wheels. Four-wheel rollators allow patients to quickly cover more ground than traditional walkers. These mobility aids offer braking safety as well as "parking-brake" functions. Mo

How To Choose the Best Rollator
Choosing the best rollator can be difficult if a patient is unclear about what to look for and how to match the rollating walker to his or her specific needs. Rollators are often available with different-sized wheels. Smaller wheels cost less and are adequate for indoor use; larger wheels allow easier travel over uneven or bumpy terrains. Mobility aids with large wheels are useful for walking outside.
Vitality Medical carries several different walkers with seats for seniors, each with specific advantages that are sure to align with users’ lifestyles.
Three-wheel roller walkers
Three-wheel roller walkers boast the lowest costs and are often the most economical choices for seniors on a budget. Additional benefits include lightweight construction, easy maneuverability, tight-turning radiuses, and smaller wheels for indoor use. One of the most highly rated three-wheel walkers at Vitality Medical is the Nitro 3-Wheel Rollator from Drive Medical. This rollator comes fully assembled, is great for both indoor and outdoor use, and folds easily for storage or transport.
Four-wheel (or standard) rolling walkers
Four-wheel (or standard) rolling walkers build upon three-wheel walkers’ functionalities. They provide advanced stability and support along with other convenient features, such as storage bags. Many four-wheel walkers have seats for added comfort. Drive Medical’s Duet Transport Chair Rollator is a popular four-wheel rollator option, weighing in at only 20 lbs. for easy transport. It features four 8-inch caster wheels for indoor and outdoor use and has under-seat storage for added convenience.
Heavy-duty walkers
Heavy-duty walkers are ideal for users that have higher, bariatric weights: they feature steel frames, increased support, wide frames, and larger wheels. The stylish Nitro Euro-Style Walker Rollator has a weight capacity of 450 lbs., thanks to its sturdy aluminum frame.
Specialty walkers for seniors
Specialty walkers for seniors include more “bells and whistles” than other rollators with premium features like additional storage, rearview mirrors, safety bells, flashlights, and more. The Carbon Ultralight Rollator Walker is an example of a specialty walker. This ultra-lightweight rollator weighs only 10.6 pounds, folds flat when not in use, and can be used indoors or outdoors.
