Being able to get around under your own power is a gift that can’t be underestimated. This Christmas, why not pick a gift to help that special someone (or yourself) get around with greater ease? We’ve picked 10 mobility aids to help inspire you.
For a little extra support while they’re out and about that can be easily stored away when not in use, why not try the Folding Walking Stick? The handle is a comfortable ‘Derby’ style to support the hand while the shaft is made of a lightweight, strong aluminium that can fold up when not needed, but locks into place when in use. It comes with a plastic carry wallet and has a fitted wrist cord to help stop it from falling to the floor if it’s accidentally dropped.
The Folding Walking Stick is available in six different coloured designs.
The ingenious Cane Seat walking stick offers both support while walking and a place to sit when they need to take a moment. This makes it a great gift option for anyone who loves to take long walks but occasionally finds they need to take a rest.
It has a tripod design that can be opened out to reveal the seat or kept together while walking. It’s made of a lightweight but strong aluminium and has a soft grip handle to help reduce some of the stress on the hand.
The final walking stick on our Christmas list is a height-adjustable walking stick made with comfort in mind. It has an oval-shaped handle which helps to spread the impact of using the stick, helping to reduce some of the stress on their joints as they walk. It also comes with the shock absorbing Flexyfoot ferrule, which is cleverly designed to stay in contact with the ground to help with traction and give them more grip.
Available in red or orange.
Do they need a touch more support than a walking stick can offer? The Domestic Walking Frame with Wheels can help to steady them while they’re walking. It has two wheels on the front to help with manoeuvrability and non-slip rubber ferrules at the back. Made from lightweight, polished aluminium, this sturdy frame could help them to get around with more ease at home.
Available in small, medium, and large.
Make it a little safer and easier for them to move around at home with the Let’s Go Indoor Rollator & Trolley. It offers all the support of a rollator while also featuring a clip-on tray so they can carry snacks and meals from place to place without risking dropping their food or spilling anything on the floor. The lightweight frame and simple to use brakes help make it easier to manoeuvre around the home.
If they’re in need of a nippy mobility aid to help them get around indoors and outside, then the NRS Freestyle 3-Wheel Rollator could be what they’re looking for. It weighs just 5kg and has a strong aluminium frame. Its large wheels and light frame make it very easy to manoeuvre, while the lockable cable brakes mean it won’t roll away without them.
It comes with a unique clip on/clip off bag and is available in champagne, silver, or purple.
For the one that would benefit from both a rollator and a wheelchair depending on the circumstance, you don’t necessarily need to get two different mobility aids. The Rollz Motion 2 Rollator and Wheelchair offers the best of both worlds, making it a great option for those who can walk but also occasionally need to take a break and use a supportive transit wheelchair. Transforming between the two functions takes very little time, so they can get on with their day without delay.
Available in four colours.
Looking for a self-propelled wheelchair that’s easier to manoeuvre? As the name suggests, this is an ultra-lightweight wheelchair that has a strong aluminium frame to help them get where they need to go. It has an attractive two-tone grey upholstery with a handy rear pocket and fabric side panels. This self-propelled wheelchair also features quick release, height adjustable footrests and has a half folding back mechanism.
It can be a struggle to find wheelchair accessible routes and spaces, meaning a wheelchair ramp could be one of the most useful gifts you could give someone. The Aerolight-Xtra Folding Wheelchair Ramp is easy to carry around and use, to help someone who uses a wheelchair or mobility scooter to get up unavoidable steps. It folds up and clips together when not in use and is compact to store.
Available in a variety of sizes from 90cm up to 240cm.
Go big this Christmas with the Drive Autofold Elite Mobility Scooter. It’s an automatic folding mobility scooter that folds and unfolds within 15 seconds, either by using the remote control fob or the buttons on the dashboard, making it easier to store when not in use and ready at the touch of a button when needed. It’s one of the first mobility scooters to have shock absorbing front and rear suspension, giving a comfortable ride. It also features an LCD screen that shows speed, battery power, travel time, and milage.
