To be honest I am not really up on theses things. I try to use my poles as much as I can. When I am having a bad day or try to carry stuff I tend to use my wheelchair as a walking aid. I was looking at rollators though that could cope with our gravel drive out side and quite liked the look of this one

Other folk probably know much better, cheaper models.

Good luck.

I researched this quite a lot before finding the Topro Troja. It's made in Norway and is really smart looking, efficient and not too expensive. Their website for me here in the UK is this topro.no/english/Mobilityai... Good luck

I use a Topra sturdy one for outside.It folds up a bit to get through gates,doors and cars.I wouldn't be without it.It was a good investment.

The above post might be useful.Don't bother with a three wheeler if you need a Rollator for outside.I use my four wheeler for balance and shopping and gardening.It is a lot less hassle than a small scooter as it is more transportable and you don't have to worry about batteries.

Im using thls outdoor 4-Light rollator

and I´m ( and the driver as well !!) quite happy with that rollator.

As my wife flatly refused the outdoor-rollator indoors I bought two indoor rollators( four whee lers, of course !) for down- and upstairs

Hi , I purchased an Active walker four wheeled rollator last year.It's smashing light weight, brakes,basket which lifts out and you can use as shopping basket, seat that's moulded so it doesn't cut in to you legs. Best thing about it is the handle bars push right down then it folds up front to back so can easily lift in out of car and fits boot brilliantly as handle bars don't stick up.Their website is active-walker.com hope you find one suitable for you, good luck.

Hi ive been using the topra troja for six years...tried loads of others but for me I found this to be the best...I have found by buying online its about £70.00 cheaper than in disability shop...that's a huge difference..

I bought a lightweight walking frame( with 2 wheels at the front and brake like feet at the back ) It collapses and I can put it in the car before I had this I could not go out without a helper . you can buy it online from Coopers
