Nova 3 Wheel Walker Review: Comfort + Convenience Makes This a Winner

Storage space is key to the versatility of a rollator, especially one with three wheels. The biggest advantage of a three-wheel walker is that you can go farther, faster; without adequate storage, you’ll be limited in terms of how long of a trip you can take.

With under-seat storage and a wire basket, the Nova Traveler can hold all of your belongings, even on a day-long outing! You won’t have to worry about juggling your things while shopping, going to the doctor, or anywhere else on your schedule. Rollator walkers are supposed to give you freedom and independence- having two roomy storage compartments helps the Nova Traveler make good on that promise!

Without a doubt, the wheels of a rollator are one of the most impactful features. Good wheels keep you moving with safety and confidence; bad wheels make you feel tepid and unstable, and can lead to nasty falls. The Nova 3-wheel walker has some pretty amazing wheels, made of spongy, durable rubber.

These wheels are great at absorbing impacts and reducing the jarring sensation of using a rollator on bumpy ground. And, they’re 8 inches tall and almost two inches wide, which means they can handle almost any terrain. If you like to walk in the park, enjoy a light nature trail, or need to walk over gravel often, these wheels are going to be immensely helpful! If you’ve ever had a rollator that felt unstable, especially on rougher ground, the Nova Traveler will be a breath of fresh air.

Nova has patented its unique brake technology and named it “feather touch”. Many rollators lose their usefulness when the user tries to engage the brakes and finds them much too difficult. It’s not just a concern of muscle strength- things like injuries to the shoulder and arms, or arthritis, all make gripping things more difficult.

“Feather Touch” means that the brakes will bring you to a complete stop, even with a weak grip. The mechanics of the braking system multiply the pressure your hand applies and help give you total control over the rollator. Rollator walkers are tricky and sometimes dangerous on steep inclines, so having that control will give you real peace of mind! If you’ve dealt with bad rollator brakes in the past, or are worried about your grip strength, the Nova 3-wheel walker is here to help!

Almost every rollator folds in one way or another, but few can fold quite as flat as this one. This is a huge advantage when you want to keep your rollator out of the way at church, on the bus, or at a restaurant. Plus, you can fold it flat and it will still stand on the wheels without tipping! This rollator is surprisingly easy to keep out of the way, making it perfect for people on the go!

Three-wheeled walkers are incredibly easy to maneuver. They can squeeze into tighter spaces and they are very convenient when working around corners. The Nova Traveler is only 23.5 inches wide, meaning it can fit through narrow doors and pivot in tight spots. If you’ve ever tried to jam a wide, clunky walker down a hallway or through a small door, you’ll be able to see the benefit of the Nova three-wheel walker!

If you like to stay moving, and want to live a semi-active lifestyle with your rollator, this is the one for you. It’s lightweight, great for all types of terrain, and has enough storage for a full-day trip. With this rollator, you won’t feel nearly as limited as you might think!

If you’re just reaching the stage of life where you need a walker, you may find other rollators much too cumbersome for your needs. It’s likely that you won’t need a high level of support right away. A versatile, uncomplicated three-wheel rollator like this one can be a great first walker that doesn’t slow you down unnecessarily!
