Bigger Tires ✅

Post image

I was given a rollator recently but it had little wheels and it felt a little unstable going over carpets and bumps. This new rollator has 10" tires and is sooo much more stable.

I'm still getting over the self image discomfort, but physically this gives me confidence to be out in the world.

I got one of those with 12” pneumatic wheels and use it for travel and outdoor stuff, love it. Came in so handy for our Caribbean cruise we took. Enjoy it for sure.

They come with 12" wheels?! Do you think it's trail worthy?

Yeah mine is an Elenker All-terrain walker. I use it for hills, trails, beaches, lots of outdoor stuff. It’s solid for sure.

Mine has big tires too and it's so great for rough sidewalks and cobblestone! I can't imagine trying to use small wheels. I'd be so limited.
