Rollators, walking aids and wheelchairs

About mobility

Mobility equipment covers a wide range of products, from walking frames used indoors to rollators with seats for longer trips outside, and lightweight or transit wheelchairs for people who need more support. The right choice usually depends on how far someone walks, how much they can support their own weight, whether they need somewhere to rest, and who will be lifting or folding the equipment. If you are buying for someone else, it helps to check doorway widths, whether the equipment needs to go in a car boot, and how much weight the person can safely push or lift.
