Drive Medical RTL10266CF Nitro Elite CF Rollator Walker with Seat, Black | Foldable Rollator Walker with Seat Offers Lightweight, Convenient Mobility Support for Everyday Use Daily

This is an EXCELLENT option for people who need some stability assistance in order to enhance their mobility. My husband has developed a neurological condition that’s necessitated occasional use of a device like this and when he needs to use it, it is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS and has helped us prevent several falls. He uses it in the house when needed and it’s helped him “motor” out in public to a degree he’s been unable to do for a couple of years and for that, I’m very grateful.

It’s very easy to steer, not wobbly at all, feels very solid, and gives him the extra confidence he needs when necessary. We haven’t taken it on any long trips yet, but for visits to the doctor’s office and physical therapy, it more than paid for itself the first time we used it. He was able to navigate through a parking lot, across an outdoor skyway, into an elevator and through several wings of an office building with ease. In the past, this would have been an “impossible journey,” but this rollator has made it safe and easy for him and stress-free for me.

The tall version works well for him (6’3″) and he’s even lowered the “handlebars” a click or two below their maximum setting. He says the brakes are responsive but not too tight, with just the right amount of “grab.” It has a sturdy canvas seat in case a rest break’s needed & the storage pouch is large and accommodates kindles, phones, and even (at home) a curious cat. The color’s a vibrant, attractive red, which he loves.

The wheels do not interfere with his gait in any way and I, as the “car loader in chief” appreciate the fact that this is easy to fold, lock, and lift into our car for transport. It basically “folds” in half for transport (just pull up on a handle built into the canvas seat & it will easily collapse for storage–there’s a little red plastic “lock” that will keep it in the folded position). This “folding feature” also lets you safely navigate through more narrow doorways, when needed (pulling up on the handle slightly will allow the frame to “shrink” and inch or two or three, till you get through the doorway. Then just push back down on the frame to fully lock it back into its usual width).

It’s a really nice looking rollator: sturdy, well-finished and well worth the price we paid, in my opinion. The wheels roll well on pavement, carpet, and tile. We haven’t taken it off-roading, yet : ) Most Enthusiastically Recommended!

P.S. One quick tip: after one of our trips to the doctor’s office, I noticed a sound that sounded like a dry bearing on one of the wheels. When I checked for the source of the sound, I discovered that a small portion of the silver brake cable had slightly folded in, toward the tire, when I’d loaded it into the car. That was the source of the noise; just a very gentle bend of the cable away from the affected wheel fixed the issue and eliminated the sound immediately. Just thought I’d mention it, in case others hear a noise and don’t realize how easy it is to fix. Unless you used to fix your own bike as a kid like I did, you might not know what to do : )

Have a question about this Nitro? Just leave a Comment & I’ll be happy to help you, if I can.

I am mobile again!!! My hip pain was “crippling”; my “walking sticks” no longer could keep me moving when I left my house. I didn’t have the strength to even go a short distance of 25 feet, my world was shrinking and I was so very depressed…

I decided to try a rollator. The first one I purchased gave me mobility – it gave me confidence and I realized I wasn’t going to be bedridden anytime soon… but this rollator was too heavy and bulky for me to easily go up and downstairs.

It was difficult for me to load into my car. Was around 30ilbs….and very sturdy… and was built for a heavier person than me. Was rated for a 300lb person; I have a friend that has been using a rollator and she is on the heavy side. She told me that I should add at least 50lbs to my weight and that’s what I should use that weight in making my decision.

I had lost my appetite as my pain at times was very intense, started eating fruits , etc.

I had been studying the various rollator options on Amazon. I have come to depend on Amazon for most of my shopping as I can shop in the comfort of my home and can’t beat shipping with Amazon Prime!

I saw this Drive Tall Rollator, and I loved the red color!!! It weighed 14 lbs, I knew I could easily handle loading this Drive Nitro into my car & going up and downstairs would be so much easier.

When I decided to order my RED DRIVE TALL NITRO; I knew the price was high- the “too heavy rollator” I bought here locally was about $230 as well. As a widowed senior, I try to watch my spending. But I figured my life will be so much easier…when I was on the Drive Nitro site, I noticed there was an option for buying an unused Drive Nitro-box was opened: it was a return & unused. PLUS The price was about $40 less!!

It arrived a few days later, left at my front door. The box looked like it had been a very rough trip- torn and dented- I wondered if I should have paid the regular price. With the box damaged- it was very easy to rip open!!

And there was my beautiful, RED DRIVE NITRO TALL, without a scratch, dent, tear… in perfect condition!!!!

The lighter frame really makes my various outings so much easier. I’m able to do things I’ve always enjoyed – before all the hip pain. Since I’m walking more, my hip pain is no-where near what is was. Oh, I will get stabbing pains that remind me of why I need this rollator.

BTW: my perfectly good but heavy rollator…my neighbor had recently been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, the family was devastated.

Her husband, 2 teenage boys, and little girl, were big help for Mom, I noticed she walked with so much pain. I immediately gave her my “gently used” rollator. She had many hands to help her lift this rollator in and out of their car.

Stairs-no problem.

I get stopped at least once a day by men and women asking what brand, how light is this, easy use… it may be for their use but others have loved ones struggling to be mobile. I let them take mine for a spin- the easy turning, lightweight… when we part, I can see the excitement in their faces…
