I suggest you look at my review about the "OPTIMAL KAPPA" rollator-walker Model LY-517XL on four wheels and a parking brake for people with disabilities and older people who have difficulty moving. The design is folding, made of lightweight aluminum alloy with the expectation of a load of up to 140 kilograms. Trolley weight - 9.5 kg. Handles are made of high quality plastic. The shape of the handle is well thought out - very comfortable. Each handle is height adjustable, fixed with a bolt with a thumb and has a braking device. The brake works in two modes: manual and parking. In motion, the trolley is easy to slow down by squeezing the lever-handle, and if necessary, you can apply the parking brake - lower the lever down until it clicks. The brake will fix the wheels securely and you can safely use the rollator as a chair. Pay attention that the parking brake is my mandatory requirement when choosing a rollator.

Not all such devices on the market are equipped with a parking brake. Manual is, and there is no parking. When handbrake uncomfortable sits, as it must be constantly held - squeeze the lever. With the brakes figured out, we go further. Control of the rollator is simple and reliable. The front pair of wheels rotates. The stroller has a small angle of rotation, it is convenient to maneuver in tight spaces. This cart is one of the biggest. This creates a certain comfort. The seat and back are trimmed with a soft filler imitation leather. The back has two spring-loaded clamps and is easily removed. It should be noted that in the design of the rollator there are no rivets, here the fastening is carried out by welding or bolting.

Welding performed with high quality.
Wheels rubberized, wheel diameter 190 mm. On the varnished parquet wheels are quite slippery. This should pay special attention.
In the assembled state, the seat rests on two crossbars. They are elements of rigid construction. In ordinary walkers, a person goes inside the structure, and then moves it for the next step. In this case, the emphasis is on the handles and the step is taken to the seat, and then moves the rollator. That is, when moving the seat is not removed.
