Some chairs are padded to provide users with more comfort, especially during long journeys. Others come with adjustable handles for an individual fitting, and some feature a backrest to provide support to the lower spine.

Look for models with bigger wheels (8" or more in diameter) that can handle uneven surfaces, like gravel. Some models come with a lever known as a "curb-climber" which allows the front wheels to be lifted off obstacles like curbs. A smaller set of wheels is better for indoor use as it allows you to move through narrow corridors and through doors.

Push-down Brakes

Walkers and rollators have hand-operated brakes, which are activated by pressing down on the levers to stop. These levers could appear like loops or bicycle-style brakes that are built into the handles.

Slow-Down Brakes

A slow-down brake is an innovative option for a rolling machine that lets the user limit the speed of the wheel, so that it doesn't be able to accidentally accelerate to a high speed and then begin to move away from the person walking.

They may not be suitable for those who need to lean heavily on the device for support. All rollators come with hand brakes, which allow them to stop or slow down at any time by pressing the handles.
