Features include a fun light-up piano, a roller ball, a shape spinner, a flip-book, keys, and switches. Asides from assisting seniors while they walk or stand and acting as a seat when there is none available, the walker can also be used as a toilet handrail. When I was diagnosed with Parkinson's I felt like I was trapped in my own house, but now with the UPWalker it gives me the freedom to do what I want to do.

And when it’s time to pack it all in after a nice walk with the help of four 6-inch wheels, you can easily fold up the rollator.

In our tests, it worked just fine for even older babies, though we were probably pushing the weight limits a bit. When standing, those same height adjustable bars work to ensure better posture and have ergonomic hand grips that place your hands at a natural level for more comfort and better brake access.

This safety feature reduces the risk of your baby careening down the stairs, off a ledge, or into a pool. Overall we found that the Joovy performed a bit better than the Safety 1st in the edge-of-stairs test, presumably due to the configuration of the Joovy base and its nice anti-slip surface on the bottom rails. One other cool thing is that it has adjustable resistance settings for the wheels, so you can control how fast the wheels will spin.When it comes to adequate breaks, don’t neglect this important safety feature or assume you won’t ever need to use it; brakes are an important component of any walker, especially if the user is unstable on their feet. A couple of notes here - be sure to remove the stickers on the rear-view mirrors, bring along a small Phillips head screwdriver for the battery door, and don't forget two AA batteries to make the turn signals and sounds work. Most models on our list are small and lightweight, designed to fit easily even into a closet at home. On the other hand, if you'll only be using your rollator around the house or on pleasure walks, you may need only minimal storage.
