Road trips give you an opportunity to build bonds and make lasting memories (and sometimes, it’s just a practical way to get from one place to another). If your loved one is dealing with limited mobility, then you can make a road trip so much easier by using one of our NOVA rollators.
What Kind of Rollator Works Best for a Road Trip?
So, what is our criteria for a great road trip rollator? Here’s what we looked at:
- Ease of Packing: You should be able to fold up the rollator so you can pack it comfortably in your vehicle (without taking up all the space for your other luggage).
- Strength and Comfort: A great road trip-rollator should be lightweight and easy to travel with, but also strong enough to handle the bumps along the road—while providing maximum comfort for your loved one.
- Style: A road trip needs to be fun! That’s why we design all our NOVA rollators with fantastic colors and convenient attachments such a cup holders and bags.
