Walking frame coasters

[wobblybee]

🙂 I was a reading a discussion about walking frames, and the awkwardness that was sometimes involved when using them. Tips were passed on about using ‘coasters’.. which made the frame easier to move but still kept it a safe aid. I’d never heard of them before, and was intrigued by the variations available.

New to me Beryl, I use a walking stick or my powerchair..... coasters appear to be an American thing?

🙂 You may well be right Don. But what a good idea 🙂 Reminds me of those coasters to put under furniture.

You could always buy a pair of roller trainers that kids scoot round Asda on( small wheel in the sole) lol

I was just thinking today about how difficult it is to slightly pick up and lower my walker when changing surfaces! I will check these out; thanks!

I use a rollator. They’re so much better for me than a frame. Thanks though for this Roller trainers, hahaha, the mind boggles......

🙂 I use a rollator too. It took me a while to get used to the idea, but now I consider it a big asset 🙂
