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 various types of walkers which depends on the built and function you could choose to buy if needed. An example of these is the rollator walker that is easier than regular ones to use because of its wheels in its feet. The following are some guides you can follow in searching for a shop to buy one 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 testimonials and reviews to check the brands that best fits your needs and which stores are selling them. This is also your chance to see if they received any negative reviews or complaints against them so you can avoid them. This information might be found in websites displaying reviews by people who have bought the product or from the store.

Determine the kind of rollator that you would be buying that fits you best basing on what your needs are. There are those that have different number of wheels with various capabilities such as 3 wheels that can navigate narrow spaces but does not have a seat. The model with two wheels have them in the front feet and the back ones have rubber tips perfect for beginners.

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. Make sure you choose a walker that is capable of supporting your weight.

Inquire if delivery options are available in the shop and if warranties are being offer for their products on sale. Your product being delivered to your home is more convenient specifically if the one who will be using it is you. The warranty is the guarantee indicating their product is of great quality and could be replaced if manufacturing defects are found.

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.
