PG, I hope you enjoy the rollator as much as I do. I am so thankful to have mine, Keep thinking of my gandma back in the 1950's being crippled w/arthritis. She was chair bound and got around w/ much difficulty or not at all. Be sure to lock the brakes on the rollator when you are not moving, I have fallen when it rolls away from me. As I get worse I lock it more. ---

those rollers look great! I am told to not even use a cane that would make me feel safer and possibly less intoxicated ---

The first rolator I had was my three wheeler - I love it. It folds up nice and narrow so I can just tuck it into the back seat of my car right behind the front seat - not messing with the trunk. But Allie is correct - it is not as stable as one with 4 wheels You need to be extra carefull if there is any change in the surface like a raised door threshold or uneven sidewalk. The front wheel gets stuck/stopped with all the force being exerted on it and it can throw you forward as the rolator comes to a sudden stop. Just go slowly and be alert! ---

Looking for a rollator. Price is not constraining. It has to be foldable and adjustable for my height. My neurologist suggested “Drive Nitro” models with 10 inches front wheels. Any suggestions? ---
