| Rollator Walkers |
The most common type of walker is the four-wheel walker. These walkers can cruise smoothly down the street while providing a balancing support! While they offer a smoother walk, they're not right for people who need to put their full weight on the walker all of the time. The user must have enough control to not let the walker slip away. The walker featured above is the Rollator Walkers.
Features
Modern walkers aren't like the boring things that your great-grandparents used to use. They are upgraded with lots of features to make the walk more enjoyable for the grandparents of today.
Grips
Though seemingly minor, someone using a walker will have to have their hands in the same spot all day. Hopefully, they can pick a grip that they like, whether it be plastic or softer material.
Folding
Some walkers are more portable than others but most are able to be folded down for transport. Make sure the walker you select can fold down to an appropriate size to put in the car.
Storage
Mostly the four-wheel come with storage bags or compartments to help hold things while walking. Think about not being able to hold anything in your hands while you walk and this feature makes a lot of sense.
Bench
Some walkers have the additional feature of a bench to sit on. If the user needs support and doesn't want to stand for long periods of time, a bench can help solve that problem.
