Frequently Asked Questions: Rollators
What is the difference between the small and big wheels?
Rollators will typically come in 2 different wheel size options: under 6” diameter, over 6” diameter.

The Rollator is too big to fit into my powder room, are there any smaller options?
Most 4 wheeled rollators are a standard size of 17.5” between the handles, and about 25” from outside wheel to outside wheel. If you need to maneuver within a small space, most side folding rollators can be pushed while in their folded state.
Note: This is a temporary solution, it is not recommended that you use your rollator in a folded state
