A rollator is very similar to a walker. They allow a person a way to be supported while walking, but they have wheels connected to each of the feet, making it easier to get around than with a walker. A rollator is a common choice for someone who is elderly or in poor health but still able to move around with a fair amount of proficiency.

Walkers require the user to pick it up and set it down as they walk. But with a rollator, you can use it as a means of support while you're walking. They are geared more towards someone who is able to get around well, but still needs support to move around well. Some rollators are designed with a walker in mind, meaning that the breaks engage as weight is pressed down on the rollator. It's a great safety feature for someone who has problems getting around. However, you may consider avoiding this option if the user is too heavy as to cause it to engage too often.

A feature that is available on almost all rollators is a seat between the handles. The majority of rollators include a padded seat in between the handles in case the user needs to sit and there are none present or nearby. You can take frequent rests if you need to, rather than searching around for a place to sit that may be dirty or uncomfortable. Indoors or out, they provide a seat right at hand, wherever.

A rollator is a perfect choice for someone who needs a little extra help getting around their home, hospital, or nursing home. They provide enough support in case it's needed, but they don't get in the way of someone who already is capable of getting around.  So no matter which one you choose, you can't go wrong.
