Sholley has ones with seats and brakes

As NotSpaghetti says make sure it’s the right height, too low and you will be stooped , too high and your shoulders will hurt .
I use mine more for long walks than just round the garden

Great, make sure you make it the correct height!
Good luck.

Thankyou all, I have jumped the gun now and ordered rollater, We are going away for a while and thought it would be helpful, unfortunately it won’t arrive till we come home! Made a bloomer by not reading delivery date when I placed the order, however someone has offered to lend me one.

Mine has a seat , which I like because I can’t stand for long , you do feel your arms working ! But it’s great for longer strolling that a stick . The four wheeled ones are more stable than the three wheelers .

My mother-in-law has a great little rollator. She loves it. It's actually quite smart and gives her freedom to do small shopping trips more confidently. Hers doesn't have a seat but I think some may do.

I tried something similar some time ago, but it wasn’t suitable as it caused my weak unstable shoulder to get worse. They feel quite bumpy when you’re pushing them along pavements, and the ‘jiggling’ made my neck and shoulder pain worse. I know a few Gransnetters use rollators so perhaps they will reply. Can you borrow one from your council (Adult Social Care) before spending a lot of money on something that might not suit?

Thought I'd just bring this to people's attention. I hope someone can help.

Thinking of buying some kind of walking aid, This Cielo stroller is a shopper ,walker with a seat. Can anyone tell me if they’ve bought one and what they think. Many thanks.
