What to Look For in a Collapsible Rollator Walker

A collapsible rollator walker lets users move outdoors and indoors without lifting the device. Some models include a seat to relax during long trips.

Height-adjustable handles ensure an ideal posture and ergonomic hand grips aid to reduce strain on hands and wrists. Brakes are secured to stop the walker from rolling away when the walker is stopped.

Handles

Handles that are comfortable and easy to hold are vital for a comfortable collapsible walker. They must also be height-adjustable since all seniors have different sizes of hands and grip strength. Another option is to search for a model that has an attachment for the forearm so that the senior can put weight on their forearm instead of their hands. This is particularly important for those with severe arthritis or a wrist/arm injury. Finally, the walker should be light in weight and have level feet so that it's not sliding across uneven surfaces.

The handle of this model is comfortable to hold since it has soft co-molded rubber and is slightly angled for a natural wrist position. It also comes with an easy loop hand brake system, and comes with a basket to keep things safe inside the hybrid rollator wheelchair.
