Euro Style Rollator / Euro Walker With Seat

Regular vs. Euro Style Rollator Walker

Although they are both wheeled walkers, there are a few differences between the Euro style rollator walker and the standard medical rollator. The two have some similarities in appearance, but that’s not to say that they look very much alike. Actually, they don’t.

• Wheels: A Euro rollator walker’s rear wheels are the same approximate size of those of any standard walker, but its front wheels are larger than those of a regular walker. These oversized front wheels allow for easier traveling over various types of terrain. A regular walker has four wheels which are all identical in size.
• Vertical Folding Capability: Most Euro style rollator walkers are able to be folded into a fraction of their size, and then left standing. This makes it much easier for elderly users or any user with limited body strength to utilize the walker; no bending down is necessary in order to set the walker back up. Regular rollators, when folded, will automatically fall forward to the floor unless immediately positioned on it, but either way, are unable to fold vertically.
• Contouring Back: A Euro walker with a seat has a flexible, sometimes padded back that is able to contour to the user’s shape for a most comfortable sitting experience. This is different from regular rollators, which feature a metal back support bar (which is usually padded).

Safety Tips for Euro Style Rollator Users

“Are rollators safe?” The aforementioned is a common question that is broached by many seniors, caregivers, and patients’ loved ones. And the answer is that yes, rollators are safe; when used correctly. Here are some safety tips for seniors and any other off brand or Drive Euro style rollator user that can help facilitate its proper usage.

Safety Tip #1: Follow Weight Capacity Guidelines

Rules are usually there for a reason, and the reason is not usually merely in order for them to be followed. For instance, the purpose of weight capacity guidelines is to keep you safe. If a Euro rollator is designed to support a limited weight capacity, if one’s body weight breaches that limit, he is risking his safety. 

Safety Tip #2: Make Sure it’s the Right Height

You don’t want to need to stretch up or bend down when using your Euro style rollator walkers, since doing so can result in an impromptu loss of balance, and lead to a fall. Check what size rollator you need by standing straight, letting your hands hang by your sides, and having someone then measure the distance between your wrist and the ground. If possible, before taking the measurements, put on the shoes you’ll be wearing when using your walker.

Safety Tip #3: Take it Slow, But Not Always Steady

Don’t walk very fast when using a rollator; instead, walk slowly and carefully. However, if you need a break, take it! Don’t push yourself, because although pushing a rollator is definitely great exercise, when you are using a rollator outdoors, it is not the time for intense aerobics. Rather minimize fall risk so that you can keep using your rollator than try to push yourself too far. 

Safety Tip #4: Lock those Wheels

When you’re ready to take a rest, before sitting down, be sure to lock those wheels. This will ensure that the Euro rollator doesn’t slide out of place while you’re on it, because if such occurs, the results can be hazardous. Since you’re going to need to lock the wheels before you sit down, it is advisable not to wait until the last second when you can barely stand on your feet any longer, but instead, to lock the wheels into place when you still have a modicum of strength left. 

Treat yourself to a rollator that will offer you the ultimate support, and will likely garner you more compliments than any other walking device you’ve ever used. Euro style rollators, and especially Nitro Drive rollator walkers, are aesthetically appealing, and oh, so practical and stable. Invest in the best, and you’ll never regret it!
