If you’re finding that you or a loved one is needing more support while walking, you may be considering a rollator. Rollators are wheeled mobility aids that are designed to offer manoeuvrable support and stability to help you get around.
Having the right rollator can help you to enjoy your independence again, but with so many options to choose from it’s tricky to know which one will be right for you. Relax, we’ve got you covered. We’ve put together a list of our best rollators to help you find your perfect fit and keep you on the move.
Rollators with seats are incredibly useful walking aids for those moments when you need to rest your legs a moment or catch your breath.
4 wheel rollators with seats are a fabulous option for anyone looking for extra support in their day-to-day life and the NRS Healthcare A-Series is one of the best. It even comes recommended by our Occupational Therapists (OTs). Having a rollator walker with seat included in your mobility aid helps you to go further as you always know you have a place to rest should the need arise. The seat on this rollator is padded for comfort as is the bar backrest, to give you an easy place to pause as you wait for a bus, in a long queue, or simply to take in the world around you for a moment.
Available in either red, blue, or silver, this durable rollator is a great option for daily use. The height adjustable handles, loop cable brakes and anatomically designed handgrips make it suitable for most people, including those who don’t have as much power in their grip. This makes it an excellent all-rounder.
Not all rollators are suitable for every type of terrain, so if you’re someone that likes to be outdoors and perhaps go a little off the beaten track every once in a while, you’ll need one that can handle rougher routes.
This rollator will help you get where you need to go with ease. It’s an all-terrain mobility aid that’s as comfortable in a park as it is going round the shops or pottering about at home. The shaped, soft handles give you great grip, and have nine different settings to choose from to make sure they’re just right for you.
When you’re going outdoors you don’t want to be using an uncomfortable aid, especially if you want to pause and take in your surroundings for a moment. The Rollz Motion Performance Rollator has a wedge-shaped seat with a slightly thicker cushion at the front so that your pelvis tilts backwards a little, helping you to avoid any aches or pains.
The extra magic of this rollator is that it can also transform into a wheelchair, giving you options as to how you get around.
Rollators come in all shapes and sizes, some definitely heavier than others. Lightweight rollators are generally easier to push along, lift up a step or kerb, or to lift in and out of a car boot.
This unbelievably lightweight rollator weighs just 6.6kg (6.1kg without the shopping bag). The carbon frame offers strength and support without adding extra weight, giving you a smoother pushing experience. The lightness of the frame makes it easier to move around as there’s less strain involved in lifting it.
Safety is top of mind with this rollator as it also includes reflectors on the frame, bag, and wheels to make sure you can be seen when you’re out and about in low light. It also has a patent-pending braking system that makes sure that it stops when you need it to.
The TOPRO Pegasus Carbon Rollator also includes a seat that’s made from a mesh material. This means you can see through it when you’re walking, so there are no hidden surprises waiting to trip you up.
If you’re a fan of getting out and about and heading off on your travels, you’ll need a rollator that can both keep up and not take up a huge amount of space when not needed.
Embrace your sense of wanderlust with a rollator that can keep up with you. This OT-recommended rollator is designed to be easy and safe to use. You can fold it in half just by pulling the seat up, it doesn’t even take much strength to do it. It can be folded down even further than that for fitting into a car boot or a cupboard, so you don’t have to worry about where you can fit it in.
Occasionally need to pause and take a moment while you’re walking? The NRS Healthcare Compact Easy Plus Rollator has a lightweight mesh seat and backrest to give you a comfy place to take a break when you need it.
It also comes with a detachable shopping bag that’s ideal for small amounts of shopping or for storing your personal items.
Bariatric rollators are mobility aids designed for those of a heavier weight. They have incredibly strong frames and have similar (if not the same) accessories and features as standard rollators.
With bariatric aids it’s critical that you feel assured they won’t let you down when you need them most. The NRS Healthcare Bariatric 4 Wheel Aluminium Rollator has an incredibly strong, extra-wide frame designed to accommodate those weighing up to 35.5st (227kg), so you can go about your day safe in the knowledge that it can keep up with you.
It comes with a padded seat and cushioned backrest, giving you a comfortable spot to rest should you need to take a moment. The lockable brakes will help to make sure you won’t go anywhere when you sit down.
Under the seat it has a handy storage basket that’s great for keeping personal items or small bits of shopping to hand, reducing the amount you need to carry.
This doesn’t mean to say this rollator is bulky, it can also fold to a narrower width for easier storage or transport when not needed.
While bulkier rollators may be better for getting around outdoors, for indoor use you’ll likely need something a little nimbler to help you move around your home.
Specially designed for use indoors, it’s hard to go wrong with this stylish rollator. Its aluminium frame means it’s incredibly lightweight without sacrificing strength.
Wondering how you’ll be able to move items to one place or another while using it? The Breeze Indoor Rollator has a spacious bag that’s ideal for carrying various items around. It also has a tray, so you can carry drinks and meals from the kitchen to the table (or your favourite chair) without worrying about spills.
When you don’t need it anymore, this sleek rollator can fold down at the press of a button for easier storing or transporting.
In need of a rollator but working with a tight budget? You can still get a great mobility aid to meet your requirements without having to spend hundreds of pounds.
This nimble rollator is a great option to consider if you’re on a budget. It’s an all-rounder that’ll help get you where you need to go without fuss, whether that’s taking a stroll around the shops or navigating the tighter spaces in your home.
A huge bonus of this rollator is the amount of carrying space it has. Not only does it have a detachable bag, but it also has a basket and a tray, maximising what you can take with you from one place to another. This reduces the amount you have to carry on your person and opens up the types of things you can carry. For example, you could use the tray to carry your meals and drinks on.
This rollator can even fold to a more compact size – handy for putting it in the car boot or storing it away.
