The 3 Best Walkers of 2025
Top pick
This three-wheeled rollator helps you seamlessly navigate narrow hallways and sharp corners, and it comes with a large storage pouch. But it doesn’t have a seat.
The aluminum Vive Health 3 Wheel Walker Rollator’s three wheels (one in front, two in back), small size, and light weight make it highly maneuverable indoors and outdoors. It’s best for people looking for a lightweight rollator that’s good in small spaces and those who don’t need a seat.
It’s especially great for tight corners and doorways. Compared with other rollators and walkers we tested, this rollator makes sharp turns more easily and fits through narrow doorways. Looped hand brakes prevent the model from rolling inadvertently.
It’s versatile and compact. Large, all-terrain 8-inch wheels mean this rollator works well outdoors. At just 11 pounds, the Vive model is among the lightest rollators available, and testers were impressed by how easily they could fold and transport it.
Assembly is simple. This rollator can be put together in minutes, and adjustable handles fit the height of most people.
It looks good. Panelists approved of this rollator’s overall appearance. It comes in blue, black, or purple and has an optional cup holder attachment (which costs about $15).
The storage bag is roomy. We liked this rollator’s spacious, gray accessory storage bag, which could fit a cell phone, a wallet, and a purse or another small item.
It comes with a good warranty and has good customer service. The manufacturer offers a one-year warranty on the frame and a 90-day warranty for brakes and handles if you buy the rollator directly from the company or authorized retailers. Customer service is available by phone, email, or chat on the company’s website; the company said it guarantees email responses within four hours and was responsive to our inquiries. Vive Health also has product specialists who the company said can conduct virtual home-safety assessments.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
This rollator is more expensive than others we saw. But its cost was in line with other three-wheel models we saw, and our panelists weren’t deterred by the price.
Like other three-wheel rollators, it doesn’t have a seat. So you can’t use it to rest if you’re out and about.
