The best rollators and mobility walkers offer steadiness, support and comfort, providing confidence to those with mobility difficulties when out and about.
We’ve put them through a series of tests to determine how easy they are to adjust, how well they manoeuvre indoors and outdoors, how comfortable they are to use and sit down on, and how well they handle rough terrain.
We’ve found significant differences. For example, while some rollators come out of the box almost entirely pre-assembled, others require an awkward process of putting them together and adjusting them.
Our tests cover rollators and mobility walker in a range of prices to find out if you get what you pay for. As well as the two top scorers that received our Best Buy recommendation, our testing also revealed a Great Value option for a lower price.

We shortlist the most popular rollators and mobility walkers from UK retailers and use a panel of testers – including people with mobility difficulties. We buy all the products we test so you know our reviews can be trusted.
Find out more about how Which? is not influenced by product manufacturers or retailers and how your support helps us to stay editorially independent.
Each rollator is assessed on the following:
We rank the rollators and mobility walkers on how easy they are to assemble, as well as how much effort it takes to adjust the handles to your preferred height.
We assess how easy it is to manoeuvre them in all directions, around corners, indoors and outdoors.
We rate how comfortable the rollators and mobility walkers are to walk with, how relaxing they are to sit in, and the feel of the handles and brakes.
We try them out over bumpy cobblestone surfaces and hills, as well as conducting a tipping test with a newton meter.
We objectively assess how well the brakes work while locked and on a downwards slope.

Rollators, mobility walkers and zimmer frames all offer mobility support.
Wheeled walkers are commonly known as rollators or mobility walkers.
Walking frames without wheels are commonly referred to as ‘zimmer frames’. However some people use a walking frame, or zimmer frame that comes with one set of wheels.
Both rollators and zimmer frames can be a good option if you need a little extra confidence with balance – they're also less effort than sticks.
However, if you need more support or something to bear your weight, you may want to consider other options, such as a mobility scooter or wheelchair.
Start by checking your have the correct height for your rollator. When standing holding the hand grips, your elbows should be slightly bent. When standing with your hands at your side the handgrips should reach just above the wrist joint.
Ensure that the brakes are released prior to walking. Push the rollator forwards and walk towards it, stepping one foot in front of the other.
Avoid walking too far into the rollator as your feet should be just inside the back wheels once you take a step. Don't overstretch and place the aid too far in front.
When stopping to take a break, ensure you are on a flat surface and the brakes are in the locked position before sitting down.
