Best mobility aid walker/rollator

Please could someone recommend one? Currently using the Drive one but the brakes are only on 2 wheels and are rubbish anyway. It lives outside so needs to withstand weather and preferably have a cover. Thanks!

Was coming on to recommend the Devil bliss. I think you will find that all rollators have brakes on just two wheels, it prevents you pitching forward. I like that the Devil has two folding options and internal brakes.

Drive not Devil!

Thank you. It's a Drive mum has got. The one suitable for outdoors and indoors but getting it and out of cats is damaging the brake cable. She uses a car service and they all struggle to get it in the boot.

I have taken the back strap off, takes up less room that way, just have to remember not to lean back when sitting!

Careco shops have a good selection though not the Drive range. The staff are not very well trained in disability needs though.

The sort that have a rigid seat and wire basket have to fold up in a different way that I find difficult to manage.

I was given another one which is much better, a Days 105
( my drive was stolenHmm)
