Hmmm. Is there a place nearby where you could test one of each? I would think it has more to do with what kind of balance issues you have. When I'm wobbly, I prefer to stand upright and use whatever's available. The standard rollator helps, but it also puts extensive pressure on my forearms and hurts my back. I actually find myself getting more tired with a rollator than I do hugging a wall or holding onto someone.

Yes, the pressure on the arms can be a challenge. I have to keep reminding myself NOT to lean into that rollator. It takes a lot of reminding.
