As others have asked, we need a video on using a rollator on stairs.

Without rails is hard and sometimes steps not big enough

Looks like a good idea, however most people on a walker don't have the best balance or strength, and I can just see them falling from gravity coming down.

Most of my same-aged friends use walkers with seats and 4 wheels
Any advice for us?

I just broke my leg and it is a struggle navigating stairs with a walker. I wish manufacturers put rubber feet that can be flipped down where the wheels are to make it stabler for clumbing stairs. I also developed chronic wrist/hand pain from using a walker or crutches.

Great suggestions! Much appreciated!!!

Thank you. I need to practice, since we now are on the seventh floor of a building. In case of emergency, I know I must get down. The reminder is "Up with the good(leg), and down with the bad !". The second way scares me. LOL. It may be better going downstairs, so I will try it and see. A little like "side-step" or "crab-step". peace

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It will help me get up and down my stairs easier.

I would be afraid to try this with the open back on those steps. My PT after a hip replacement said I could use the walker on the steps, but I did not attempt it because I was afraid of the wheels rolling.

How then do you carry a four-wheeled rollator? I have MS and need to use a seated rollator. I have to walk up 9 steps to get into my apartment. I don't have help. How can I at least get it down the steps to leave for work. Moving is not an option right now.

1:23 Yell loudly "I'm OK. I don't need help!" at the guy who's running at you full speed ready to grab your walker to "help" you and risk sending you flying down the stairs...

As someone who now uses a Walker and a cane for everyday . I’m wondering if when stairs are being made or built ? Can the newer one be made wide enough to rest the Walker on without the need of folding it or carry it on the arm ? Just wondering ?
