This rollator is very popular because it is specially designed for people with reduced mobility or the elderly. The wide and comfortable seat is also equipped with a large backrest, a detail only found in walkers specially designed to improve the lives of the elderly. The handles are adjustable in height allowing the person to remain in the most comfortable position possible.
The walker is the latest of Elenker’s range of walking rollators. Still, it is similar to what they’ve been producing over the years, except this looks more consolidated, higher, and heavy-duty than the Elenker Heavy Duty Upright Walker, which is considered one of the best upright walkers for seniors.
This walking aid gives an impression of solidity and security at first glance. However, its qualities are revealed in use. Its frame, foldable in case you need to transport it by car, is made of very resistant aluminum. It has four large wheels (10 inches in the front and 8 inches in the rear) that facilitate maneuverability. These are swiveling and equipped with hand brakes that make this rollator safer. So, they are effortless to use, even for an older adult.
There are also sit-to-stand handles which make getting up relatively easy for the elderly. The 10-inch front wheels run smoother outdoors and indoors. Among its accessories, you will find the practical storage bag at the front, but there is no storage basket.
