Rollator Two In One Walker and Wheelchair

For many years the rigid walker was the standard to help people who had difficulty walking get about. Then a significant improvement came with the rolling walkers with seat. These walkers were easy to maneuver, added hand brake, and had a seat. My Dad had one of these and it really made things easier for him. Especially when he got tired he could simply lock the brakes and sit down on the seat to take a break. Now Dutch company Rollz  Motion has improved upon this design with the Rollator. An iF Award winning rolling walker with seat that can turn into a transport wheelchair.

Why 2 in 1?
So what are the advantages of having a walker combined with a wheelchair? Well it would be possibility of continued movement. With the standard rolling walkers with seat, no one is moving because you’re sitting in place. With the Rollator’s converted transport wheelchair, another person could push the wheelchair and continue traveling.

Transformer
In walker mode the Rollator looks similar to other walkers. The lines are a little sleeker with a frame that mimics quality bicycle frames. But with a special attachment, a seat back can be folded up. Then footrest attachments are added to the frame which creates a transport wheelchair. It’s a transport wheelchair because the wheels are not big enough for the user to propel themselves. When ready for storage or transport, the Rollator folds in half like a standard wheelchair.

Accessorize
Besides orange, the Rollator is available in cool grey, ice blue, and sand. Accessories available for separate purchase are a shopping bag, cane holder, cup holder, and adjustable footrests.

Conclusion
Rollator is a walker that with the added advantages of a wheelchair. I do think of how my Dad and I could’ve used this and added more time and distance to our walks. Hopefully other people who use the Rollator are able to take advantage of this and other benefits. For more on the Rollator visit Rollz Motion at www.rollz.com.
