A rollator is designed to make life easier for those desiring increased mobility and comfort while walking. ‘Walkers with wheels’ are not just for the elderly; they can be used to great benefit by those with ongoing back pain or muscle weakness, Sciatica, Arthritis, decreased balance or stamina or other conditions negatively affecting one's mobility, regardless of age. In our Dallas store and online shop, you will find we have an impressive selection of specialized rolling walkers and rollator accessories, including heavy load-bearing Bariatric units, rollators specific to tall or small individuals, and knee walkers that are ideal for those who can only use one foot, either temporarily or permanently.
A rollator is often referred to as a walker with a seat. The key difference is a rollator is built with wheels on every leg, hand brakes, and most come with a seat. When choosing a rollator, our expert staff at CVI Medical in Dallas will work with you to find your perfect fit. There are several considering factors when choosing a rollator, besides height and weight, that will help determine which rollator is right for you.
Four Wheel Rollators
The four-wheel rollator is the most popular rollator option and almost always has a seat built into the walker. Perfect for short and long distances, the 4-wheel rollator glides effortlessly on indoor and outdoor surfaces while providing stability to the user. The rollator will easily fold for transport and can be as light as 12.8lbs.
Additional Rollator Styles:
- Euro Style: Larger wheels designed to easily traverse cobblestone pathways
- Stand-Up/UpWalker: Standing rollators designed to help your back stand straighter when walking
- Indoor: Equipped with a tray and extra-large basket in place of a seat
Three Wheel Rollators
The 3-wheel rollator is typically used in indoor settings or for walking short distances because it does not have a seat. The rolling walker has a tighter turning radius and is easily folded to transport.
Heavy Duty Rollators
Four-wheel rollators with a higher weight capacity, up to 500lbs.
Hybrid Rollators
The Hybrid Rollator combines a rollator and transport chair into one. The individual can walk for as long as they desire and then easily transform the rollator into a transport chair to be pushed the remainder of the way.
