We need help locating a side-folding rollator with a soft cloth backrest that is under 26" wide. We purchased a rollator and now need a second rollator we can use one upstairs and one downstairs in our home. We saw some Drive walkers
Turns out that the situation isn’t that straightforward: the first walker has a metal bar for a backrest and it's a pain to take out when you want to put it into a car. The second one has a soft backrest that just folds in when you fold the walker. Another difference is that the first walker folds back to front, and the second one folds side to side making it easier to get into a car.
The problem is that we've got at most a 26" clearance for the upstairs bathroom door and similar restrictions downstairs. The first walker fits fine, but the more expensive Drive walkers are much wider.
Anyone have any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks so much.
