Which rollator can you recommend?

Options
Hello,
I would like to ask which rollator you can recommend.

I am trying out an old one from my mother, which is also a little easier. But I can't push or steer with my right arm, otherwise it would be too painful. That's why I only rest my right hand loosely on the rollator. Is there a rollator that is as light as possible and can be used without much effort?

I have been prescribed one, and I think I'll have to pay extra for it anyway. But I would like one that is good.

Best wishes
Gisela

    Speak to your Occupational Therapist / Prescriber again...  They are familiar with your specialised needs... and may have alternatives to suggest.

    Other suggestions may be obtainable from a good mobility and appliance seller that you go to, but probably not available off the shelf for your unique circumstance.

    There is a carbon fiber rollator available, pretty expensive but i think you can hire it to try out before you commit, its called the byAcre Carbon Ultralight Rollator.

    Found it here if you need to try it out https://www.lendocare.com/products/walking-aids

    This is the one I have. Got it earlier this year. It was £550 but well worth it. Super lightweight. 
    Folds super easy & I can put it in the car on my own. Priceless.  It fits nicely behind my drivers seat. 
    If you want any further help please just ask.
