Time to buy a rollator for the Mister (and I might get some use out of it too). [View all]

Does anyone have any recommendations (or warnings!) about their experiences with rollators?

I'm looking at a Medline brand from Amazon. The least expensive ones look small and "cheap" (and the reviews tend to indicate poor quality materials and construction).

But since we're both of a "certain size" it looks like the bariatric size rollators may be more appropriate. (Even though the max-weight of the smaller ones is far above my actual weight... they just look small and unstable anyway.)

I'm very proud of him for admitting that it's time and that he needs it. (I still can't admit defeat and get the hearing aids I ought to have, however. Y'all can just talk louder, please.)
