About our rollators
Unlike standard walking frames, rollators have smooth-rolling wheels and easy-to-use brakes. They help you keep a steady pace without feeling restricted. Many models, like the Freedom Flair Aluminium Tri-Walker with Seat, feature built-in seats for taking a break on longer walks. You can even choose rollators with attachable bags and baskets to carry your shopping.
Rollators come in two styles, with each suited to slightly different needs. Three-wheel rollators are sometimes known as tri-walkers or three-wheeled walkers. They’re compact, lighter, and easy to steer around tight corners or narrow spaces. This means they’re great for indoor use when getting around the house.
On average, our tri-walkers weigh just 5.8kg and will support users up to 125kg (around 19st 10lbs). The NRS Freestyle 3 Wheel Rollator is a great example. Complete Care Shop customer, Morag, gave it five stars and said, “Until I bought it I was unable to get out and enjoy the lovely weather so thanks for giving me my freedom”.
If you need a bit more help with balance, four-wheel rollators give you a wider, more stable base. They often include a padded seat, allowing you to pause whenever you need to without searching for somewhere to sit. This makes visiting the shops, attending appointments, or going for walks far more manageable. No more worrying about where you can stop for a quick rest.
On average, our four-wheel rollators weigh around 7.7kg, with an average seat height of 56cm, supporting an average maximum user weight of 135kg (21st 4lbs). The NRS Freestyle 4 Wheel Rollator is a popular choice, with a sturdy seat and handy storage bag.
It’s important to get the height right, so most of our rollators are adjustable. Our mobility aid guide, reviewed by Occupational Therapist Sharon Coyle, offers a handy tip. “Make sure your rollator is adjusted to the correct height so the handles reach your wrists when your arms are relaxed by your sides”.
