NOVA Medical Products Monarch Rollator - Blue

I have the highest praise for the Nova Monarch Adventure rollator. It’s been years since I’ve been able to walk erect and painlessly. Yea, it costs about $100 more than its competitors. But it’s almost unfair to compare this to the others. The design of Nova Monarch Adventure is unmatched, as is the quality of its parts. It operates flawlessly. This rollator is super light and is the only one that folds this easy to put in a trunk or even back seat. And this rollator has one of the more comfortable seats in my house! The manual is clear and thorough, and is more than just instructions on how to operate the rollator. It explains the proper height adjustment of the handles respect to the body; and has suggestions for proper stride for best posture. In short, this Nova Monarch Adventure is well-worth the price.Jack, Dallas TX

I bought this after my wife injured her back. It's very well built, collapses down nicely for transport and fairly comfortable to sit in when needed, with surprisingly good lumbar support. However... My wife was sitting in it at a bird sanctuary and the back rest, which does NOT lock into place, slipped out and she fell over backwards, striking her head on concrete. It's been a month and she still suffers from bouts of vertigo and TMJ from this. Afterwards, I figured out that I could use some larger "zip ties" to secure the back rest into place. If you buy this unit, do yourself a favor and do this BEFORE USING IT! NOVA Medical Products should really change the design so that the back rest locks into place and needs to be unlocked to remove.

This is a five star Rollator but it is SHORT. I am 5’10” but even at their maximum height (36”) I cannot reach the handles without bending over. This is uncomfortable at all times and dangerous when going down hill.I ordered this to use walking both paved and unpaved trails in our neighborhood, when camping, when attending my grandkids cross country meets, and when vacationing. The Rollator would be perfect for all those things. And it folds up into a very small package when traveling by car or plane.If only I could reach the handles. Nova’s claim that it will fit anyone under 6’ tall is a lie.I took delivery on December 7. Because of the weather I didn’t take it outside until late February - too late to return.AdditionIt is now March 11 and I am waiting for a response from Nova or the distributor/seller regarding my concern. Now that the weather is improving in NE Ohio I need a solution to my Rollator dilemma.

This Rollator will be great for airports, you can set your suitcase right on the seat if you want to. Easy to use, easy to fold. The seat is wide and comfortable...

I love how compactly this walker folds up. It is small enough that I fold it up unnecessarily just to show people how small it is.It doesn’t appear to clip shut though. That is problematic. It takes on the personality of an octopus when folded. I use a long strip of double-sided Velcro to keep it closed and to make it easier to lift and carry. (the kind to sticks well to itself but doesn’t grab everything else too badly and has the hooks of one side and the loops on the other. The type where the hook side isn’t too scratchy)The removable front wheels can be stuffed into the storage bag if that’s not already filled with goodies. Otherwise they are a little bit inconvenient when removed. There starts to be a lot of parts to keep track of. It’s no big deal if you are just loading it all in and out of the trunk, but if you are moving the walker and other stuff, it is not a one handed item.I only take the wheels off because I put the walker on the passenger side of an old mini pickup truck. I can drag the walker right across the bench seat from the driver’s side, right by the steering wheel. (ikr!? That’s pretty compact!)The seat isn’t as comfortable as the padded kind on rollators that fold front-to-back, but you knew that. It is not a big cushion; those don’t fold. I can feel the bars on either side because I have a wide backside. I don’t expect to use it to sit for longer than most people my age would be expected to stand, so it doesn’t need to be a la-z-boy. It’s comfortable enough that I can take the weight off of my feet confidently and not regret my purchase.The back rest feels sturdy. The only thing I dislike is it detaches easily. Presumably that is because when the walker is folded it sticks out quite a bit so one is meant to remove it for folding. What’s worrisome is that, because I have an ample backside, when I stand my waistband catches the backrest and it often lifts off. I’m sure I will lose the part unless I find a way to secure it. That will make removing it for folding less convenient, but reordering a backrest would be much more of a hassle. I wish it was secured with a simple thumb clip or something. I would probably even leave it attached while folded when size doesn’t matter.Overall I am really happy with this. I’m taking it traveling so I’ll be giving it a serious test soon.

Bought this for my dad, he has dementia and needed to learn how to put the brakes on, once he mastered that he wheels around with it everywhere, I have peace of mind and he thinks its cool because it looks so good!

Very satisfied with rollator except for a few quirks. The rollator is sturdy, the brakes work very well, it folds side-to-side and then folds again to make it easy to carry and store in smaller spaces. It has 8" wheels and pedals in the rear to make it easier to get over curbs. It also has reflectors and a cane holder. On the negative side, the seatback comes off too easily (it should snap in) and when the rollator is double-folded it tends to open if you don't hold it in a certain way. It, too, should snap in. After just a few weeks the cup for the cane holder fell off and is lost. Note: a simple call to Nova and the cup was replaced quickly and under the warrantee.
