Looking for a good off-road rollator that's not too heavy.
Hi folks, I am looking for a good off-road rollator that doesn't weigh too much.
I am a C5 SCI with a c6-c7 discectomy and fusion. I have a lot of balance issues, so I use a rollator and also hiking poles.
But I really really miss walking in the forest or other nature environments.
I do live in San Francisco, but I'm next to the Presidio.
Additionally, because of forearm and hand neuropathy it's hard for me to be on terrain that makes my rollator jiggle.
I have the usual Medline rollator, but its wheels get stuck on things like cracks in the sidewalk, small rocks, etc. A number of years post injury, it's clear I still need some form of rollator. It's time to get serious and kick down for something truly helpful. I'm tired of nearly falling/falling over sidewalk cracks and having my arms rattling over weird walking path pavements. I see there are rollators out there that are specifically for off-roading / difficult terrain. Ones with pneumatic tires that handle uneven surfaces much better than my little Medline ever could.
That said, the other specs I'm looking for are:
a seat
a cloth basket/pouch
Collapsible
Weighs under 20lbs.
A fun color would be nice 🙂
Good braking system
Highly rated
I was even looking into the Trionic rollator (the four-wheel, not two wheel), but there's no place around me to try one out.
Maybe someone on this sub has ideas??
Thanks in advance!
