Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've used a 4-wheel rollator for two years with great success, but it's heavy, and with my particular problems, quite difficult for me to lift into and out of the car. My hope was to find an additional one that not only could stay in the car, but that was lightweight enough to easily lift in or out as needed.
This rollator is absolutely solid and high quality, and at about 9 pounds, exactly what I needed for my purpose. It is extremely maneuverable, and the large wheels allow it to roll easily over most normal obstacles such as thresholds and rough parking lots. It "parks" more compactly in offices and restaurants, another benefit over the 4-wheel version. I leave it in the car, using it only when I go somewhere that requires my getting out of the car, while continuing to use the heavier one around the house. Not having the struggle of lifting the big one into and out of the car has given me more freedom to go!
It arrived almost completely assembled, requiring only that the handlebars be inserted at the proper height, easily accomplished with the large knurled adjusting knobs.
PLEASE NOTE! People considering this device should be aware that it does not supply the sideways stability of a 4-wheel rollator. For someone who needs total support for balance in walking, it may not be quite safe enough, because when more pressure is put on one handle than the other, it has a tendency to tilt to that side. This is not a fault of this particular device, whose back wheels are spaced wider than my 4-wheel type, but an inherent drawback present in all rollators with only 3 wheels. If the back wheels were far enough apart to prevent tilting, it would be difficult or impossible to negotiate doorways and other restricted places.
I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone who needs just partial help in walking or balance, or one who is constantly aware of how it's being used. Otherwise, the 4-wheel is much safer.
