  • Tipping sideways with a walker

    For those of you who still walk and use a Rollator or walkers, do you notice that sometimes you tip to the side?

    Putting weight inside my walker helps stabilize me and not to be over.

    This happens to me a lot. Some days I think it is due to fatigue and other days I think my rollator is not stable enough.

    Yes, I experience the same. For outside, I use the Trionic rollator, 12er. It’s very stable and can manage all types of surfaces (uneven, trail, rocks, holes, sand, even snow). It really improves my autonomy and freedom.
