We are looking for a really good mobility walker that is not too expensive. The walker we bought is way too basic with plastic wheels but when he hits a small bump (say, irregular pavers) he cant anticipate the obstruction and the front wheels jar and the whole thing tips forward. We thought a model with proper pneumatic tyres would work much better. Is there any model that anyone can recommend that is not too expensive? thanks

Hi Koalagal. We have been loaned by the hospital (Hampshire UK) a ‘U-Step’. This does not have pneumatic tyres but it has five wheels that make it very stable. I understand that it is expensive however. Alan
Hi,
We used a four-wheel rollator called Lets Go Out - here's a link -

It was pretty good as the wheels at the front are bigger than a usual rollator.
If you think that would be what you are looking for, we have one that we no longer use (Ruth is in a wheelchair now) and we would be very happy to give it to you for free - always good to help this fine community. We live in Chiddingly East Sussex which may be near you. Alternatively I could post it to you.
