Rollator Comparison Chart

Rollators are a great mobility aid for those who are steady on their feet but who cannot travel far without resting periodically.  If you need to bear your weight on a mobility device or have an uneven gait then a traditional walker will be your choice.  You can find more information on walkers versus rollators in our article “How to Choose and Use a Walker Safely.”

Rollators come in two types: 3-wheel and 4-wheel designs and in two sizes: standard and bariatric or heavy duty for larger size customers. We will explore the best of the 4-wheel design for larger or bariatric size customers in this review.

Before choosing a rollator consider which features are most important to you.  These considerations include:

• surfaces you need to traverse – larger 8″ wheels can easily go from hardwoods to carpet or concrete to dirt paths or small gravel
• seating needs – how high does the seat need to be to comfortably place both feet on the ground; is the seat wide enough without pinching your hips; do you need padding in the seat; is there enough space between the handles to comfortably fit your legs and feet
• braking – strength required to squeeze the brakes, push them to lock them or pull them up to release them; are levers or loop styles brakes easier to use
• handle height – do they extend high enough to hold/push easily and without hunching over
• accessories –  do you need storage, cup holders, portability to go where you need to go

Once you have identified your need read our reviews below to find your desired rollator mobility aid!
