What byACRE is the right size for me?

THERE ARE THREE byACRE SIZES

Some people will fit more than one size byACRE. So what's the best size for you? 

The Compact / XS size is smaller than the Regular or Wide Track models. It fits more easily in narrow spaces, but the seat may also require a bit more flexibility to get into.

The Comfort / Wide Track model’s biggest difference from the Regular is the wider seat and wider frame. This makes it a bit more comfortable to sit in, but also means it wont fit through as many doorways.

Ask yourself where you plan to use your rollator, and then pick one that fits you and your environment.

If you are in doubt between two models, we recommend getting the wider option.

BYACRE HEIGHT

When deciding on a size to get, the first thing to consider is the height of the handles. The height of the handles must be able to match the height of your wrists when standing straight, with your arms and hands relaxed by your sides.

Measure the height of your wrists when standing, and then compare with the handle heights available on the byACRE rollators to see which ones might be compatible with you.

If you plan to use your rollator outside, you should also remember to measure your height while wearing shoes. Since your arms will be at a slight angle forwards as you grip the handles, we recommend adding one or two centimetres to your wrist height.

Getting the correct handle height ensures you can walk upright and not be hunched over when using the rollator.

SEAT HEIGHT

The seat height is not adjustable, but it differs between the compact and the regular/wide models.

The Compact model seat height is 56cm, while the regular and wide models are both at 61 cm.

To find out which one fits you best, try finding a chair in your home with a height close to our rollators. You can try raising its height by using books, pillows, or other fabrics. The most important part of a rollator seat is how easy it is to get in and out of, so try sitting in the chair you found and see if you’d be comfortable getting in and out of it frequently.

HIP WIDTH

When getting in and out of the seat, it is important that your hip width is less than the width between the handles on your rollator. You can still use your rollator even if it is a bit too narrow around the handles, but you may need to do a bit of a salsa to get into the seat in that case.

You should also consider whether you often wear thick coats (especially in the winter) or other things around your waist, as you would then need a bit of extra space.
