Often times when our customers are seeking a mobility aid, they regularly overlook the option of a rollator. This is in spite of, in our opinion, a rollator being both an affordable and highly practical solution for people with disabilities. They are no doubt an exceptionally useful product to consider when buying a mobility aid for yourself or a loved one. In this blog we will discuss some of the key benefits that a rollator has to offer.

1. They are often cheaper than the alternative.

When you have decided to purchase a walking aid you will notice early on in your search that prices vary greatly across the wide variety of products at your disposal. Just some of the options that can be taken into consideration when purchasing a mobility aid include triwalkers, scooters, knee walkers and of course rollators themselves. In our opinion however, the rollator represents a practical and affordable solution for a wide range of disabilities. Whether it may be needed as a permanent or occasional aid, the purchase of a rollator is a solid economic choice.

2. Rollators are fully functional outdoors.

It is a common misconception that a rollator is predominantly an indoor mobility aid, however on the contrary, they are in fact very practical for outdoor use. As they are generally light in weight and can be folded up, they can easily be placed in the boot of a car or other mode of transport. Some of our models can even be used on rougher terrains, something which we find often appeals to the more adventurous types!

3. You can sit on them!

If you are considering purchasing a mobility aid, don’t forget that a rollator has the added benefit that you can sit on it for comfort and stability when you are out and about. This is a feature that is frequently overlooked when people contact us. We find that our rollators are particularly useful in public venues, such as shopping centres, allowing you to take respite from shopping and simply to rest your feet.

4. You can adjust the height.

All of our rollators are height adjustable, allowing the user to find a height that is both comfortable and stable enough to match their needs. So if you are short, tall or somewhere in the middle, our rollators can be calibrated to your specific height.

5. Rollators are a great exercise aid!

Often times when a person is disabled or has difficulty in moving, then it is extremely difficult to exercise and remain active. Rollators have the advantage of allowing their user to exercise independently and in confidence due to the added support that they offer.

We have a beautiful range of stylish rollators available to purchase from our online store. We deliver them nationwide with free delivery from our headquarters in Mitchelstown, County Cork.
