Is a three wheel walker right for you? 🤔
If you find a standard walker a bit bulky around the house, a tri walker could be worth considering. With three wheels instead of four, they're narrower and easier to turn, which makes them well suited to hallways, kitchens and smaller rooms.
A few things to keep in mind when choosing one:
* Handle height matters. As a general guide, with your arms relaxed by your sides, the handles should sit around wrist height. The Redgum Tri Walker has adjustable handles so you can get the fit right.
* Check the brakes. Loop brakes are easy to squeeze, and a park brake keeps the walker steady when you stop.
* Think about what you carry. A bag, basket or tray lets you move items around the house while keeping both hands on the walker.
* Tri walkers don't have a seat, so if you need to rest often while out and about, a four wheel walker with a seat may suit you better.
