Four wheeled walkers, and rollators have many advantages over the two or three wheel walkers due to the added feature of a seat for resting and four wheels for improved manoeuvrability. The
front wheels swivel for ease of turning without having to lift the walker and have locking hand brakes or spring-loaded push-down brakes to help control the user's movement. Many of the walkers and rollators also feature adjustable handles and/or seat height to fit individual needs.
Four wheeled walkers and rollators also differ greatly in colour, design, and basket or tote bag size; making each rollator unique to the user's style preferences.
