What to look for in rollators & walkers

Match the handle height to your wrist with arms relaxed at your sides; most rollators list a user height range.
8 in wheels or larger roll better on sidewalks, grass and gravel; 6 in wheels suit smooth indoor floors.
Check the seat width and weight capacity if you'll sit to rest; bariatric rollators go up to 500 lbs.
Upright walkers (with forearm supports) help if a regular walker makes you hunch over.
Measure doorways and your car trunk against the folded size.
