What is a Tri Walker?
A tri walker is a three-wheeled walking aid designed to provide users with support when walking. They also often include accessories such as bags, seats and trays to assist users to carry items and provide a place for users to rest when needed.
What is the difference between a 4-wheeled rollator and 3-wheeled rollator?
- Tri-walkers only have 3-wheels (two at the back, one at the front), which makes them easier to navigate through tight spaces and narrow doorways
- 3-wheel rollators are often lighter and more compact than the 4-wheeled solutions
- Most 4-wheeled rollators include a seat, 3-wheeled rollators do not always have a seta
- 4-wheeled rollators are seen as more supportive and sturdy, always consider your abilities prior to purchase
- Tri-walkers are designed for indoor and outdoor use but generally not designed for all-terrain use
