By Sarah Campbell


Walkers are devices for assisting people who are elderly or disabled in walking around the house or some place else they want. They might have a condition which limits their abilities in maintaining their stability and balance while walking. Using these devices enables them to have the sense of independence even with their situation.

There are different types of walkers depending on their built and functionality that you can choose to buy when needed. One of them is the rollator walker which is easier to use than the regular ones because of the wheels it has on its feet. Here are some tips when looking for a store to buy one from in your area.

Begin searching for shops in your area using the internet that are selling these products and acquire their contact information. You may also use the yellow pages because there is a chance of shops advertising themselves using this medium. List down all those you found and obtain more information regarding them to help in making your choice on where to purchase.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations because one of them might have purchased one before for others or for themselves. In this way, you will know the type of customer service that specific store has based on the experience they had. If those they recommended are not yet listed then add them and obtain more information regarding them too.

Read online reviews and testimonials to see which brands are the best according to your need and which shops are selling them. You would be able to also see those who had received negative reviews so you would know which one to avoid. These things may be found on websites showing reviews written by people about certain products or stores.

Determine the type of rollator you would buy that best fits your needs and here are some guides you can use in determining. There are those which have different amount of wheels with different capabilities such as the three wheels which can navigate narrow spaces though there is no seat in it. The model having two wheels in front with the back having rubber tipped feet perfect for new users.

You can easily push larger tires and they are more stable when navigating rough terrains although they are heavier as well. Different type of brakes are available such as the loop brakes which you need to squeeze to function although people with weak muscles or arthritis may have problems with it.

Inquire if the store has any delivery options and if they offer warranties for the products they are selling. Having the product delivered to your house is more convenient specially if you will be the one using it. The warranty is your guarantee that the product is of good quality and can be replaced if there are any manufacturing defects found on them.

Ask about its price and the available accessories that can be added. Examples are the baskets underneath the seat or removable bags. Spare parts are important also so being able to buy them in the store is convenient.
