When choosing an indoor rollator, it can be difficult to know which model to choose, as there are important differences between the various types and models.

Many people think that an indoor rollator is just a smaller version of an outdoor rollator, but there are actually several factors that make an indoor rollator particularly suitable for use in the home. Although some of our rollators can be used both indoors and outdoors, we recommend that you consider having two separate rollators – one for indoor use and one for outdoor use. This will not only help keep your home clean, but it also ensures that you get the best support and comfort in different environments.

Why choose an indoor rollator?

An indoor rollator is designed with special features that make it ideal for use in the home. First, an indoor rollator should be light and easy to handle and have a good center of gravity, so it provides stable support while being light enough to navigate narrow spaces and doorways. Many older houses and apartments have narrow door frames, especially for bathrooms, making it necessary to choose a small indoor rollator with a narrow width of about 55-63 cm. This ensures that you can easily get through even the narrowest passages without having to worry about getting stuck or not being able to safely go to the toilet. We can offer you both the light and classic solution, as well as the more luxurious and multifunctional solution, because sometimes an indoor rollator is not just an aid, but a multifunctional designer piece of furniture. We are proud to present our PAGE rollator to you who do not want to compromise on safety and aesthetic design.

What kind of wheels should I choose?

The wheels on an indoor rollator play an important role in how easy it is to maneuver around the home. Classic indoor rollators often have smaller wheels than traditional outdoor models. Smaller wheels often make it easier to navigate around furniture and get close to beds and bathroom facilities. Small rubber wheels provide better control and make it easier to turn and move around, even in small spaces. Large wheels can be difficult to steer indoors, as they require more space and can be heavier and harder to turn.

Handles and accessories for indoor rollators

The handles on an indoor rollator can vary greatly depending on design and functionality. Some models have a single, long handle with a flat brake that can be operated with one hand. This is ideal if you need an indoor rollator for both support and transporting things like a tray with food or drinks around the house. Other models have two separate handles that provide more control and stability, but require both hands to brake.

When choosing an indoor rollator, it is also important to consider whether you need a seat to rest on, or whether an indoor rollator with a tray would be more useful. A tray allows you to transport things around the house without having to carry them in your hands, which can be a great help if you have reduced mobility or balance problems. Some trays can also be removed, making it easy to adapt the rollator to your needs.

Choosing the size of an indoor rollator

It can be a challenge to find the right height and size for an indoor rollator. As a rule of thumb, you should choose a rollator where you can stand upright and relaxed, with your shoulders and elbows in a relaxed position. Your elbows should be slightly bent at an angle of approx. 20-30˚ when you hold the handles. This ensures that you can walk comfortably and safely without straining your joints and muscles unnecessarily.

To measure the correct height of a small indoor rollator, you can stand up and measure the distance from your wrist to the floor. This measurement gives a good indication of how high the handles should be for the rollator to fit you perfectly.

Handling door sills with an indoor rollator

Many homes have door sills, which can be a challenge when using an indoor rollator. These door sills, which are normally not a problem, can become an obstacle when you try to move from one room to another. To avoid falls, we recommend that you either have fixed door rails or soft rubber ramps installed on both sides of the door sill. These ramps make it easier and safer to drive the rollator over the door sill without having to lift it.
