Every rollator here is rated for at least 400 lbs, and many go up to 500 lbs.

Find the right bariatric rollator for you

How to choose the right bariatric rollator

Start with weight capacity

Choose a rollator rated above your body weight, not right at it. That margin covers leaning, sitting down heavily, and anything you carry in the basket. Our bariatric rollators fall into three groups:

• 400–440 lbs: the lightest and most portable bariatric options, including carbon fiber and all-terrain models.
• 450 lbs: the widest range of seat sizes and heights, including suspension models.
• 500 lbs: our highest-rated rollators, mostly steel frames built for maximum strength.

Measure for the seat

Sit in a firm chair and measure across your hips at the widest point. Your rollator seat should be at least that wide, ideally with an inch or two to spare. Bariatric seats here range from 17 to 24 inches wide. For seat height, measure from the floor to the back of your knee while sitting. A seat close to that height makes sitting down and standing up easier.

Check the handle height

Stand up straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. The handles should line up with the crease of your wrist, so your elbows bend slightly when you hold them. If you’re over 6 feet tall or under 5’4”, check the handle range on the product page before you order.

Check the overall width

Most bariatric rollators are 25 to 30 inches wide. Measure the narrowest doorway, hallway or bathroom entry you’ll use every day and compare it with the rollator’s overall width.

Think about lifting

Heavy-duty frames weigh more, from about 13 lbs for carbon fiber up to 30 lbs for some steel models. If you or a caregiver will lift the rollator into a car often, a lighter frame makes a real difference. Look for one under 20 lbs.

Consider specialty styles

If you lean forward while walking or have trouble with your posture, an upright (forearm) rollator lets you stand straighter. If you need maximum stability because of a neurological condition, an ultra-stable walker like the Evolution DX is designed for that. We also carry a bariatric knee walker for foot and ankle recovery.

Save on open-box bariatric rollators

Open-box rollators are returned or display units in like-new condition, sold at a lower price than new. Stock is limited and changes often, so if you see the model you want, it won’t last long.
