Overview
Three wheels, 14 lbs. A compact frame that ships flat

A folding three-wheel rollator on 8" wheels with locking hand brakes and a storage pouch. It ships knocked down and assembles without tools. There is no seat.

Built for real life

What stands out

●
Three wheels turn in place
One front wheel instead of two means the rollator pivots rather than swinging wide, which is what gets it through a bathroom door or round a tight hallway corner.
●
Compact frame
At 25" W X 21" D open it is the shallowest frame in Nova's rolling walker range, and it folds to 10.75" wide.
●
8" wheels
Large enough to roll over thresholds and pavement joints that stop a smaller caster, on a frame that weighs 14 lbs.
●
Ships knocked down
The rollator arrives flat and assembles without tools, which keeps the carton small and the shipping simple.
●
Locking hand brakes
Squeeze to slow the rollator and push the levers down to park it. Nova cover the brake parts for five years.
●
275 lbs. capacity
Rated 25 lbs. higher than Nova's other three-wheeler, the Traveler, on a frame that is only half a pound heavier.
The Hieline Take

The Active is the budget three-wheeler and the interesting thing about it is that it is rated higher than the dearer one. Nova put it at 275 lbs. against the Traveler's 250, on a frame half a pound heavier, and it has the wider handle adjustment of the two at 31.25" to 38.25". What you give up is the kit: the Traveler comes with a tray and a basket, and the Active comes with a pouch. If you were going to take the tray off anyway, the Active is the better buy. It is also the shallowest frame Nova make at 21" deep, and it ships knocked down, which is why it costs what it costs. The three-wheel trade applies either way. No seat, less side-to-side steadiness, and in exchange a walker that turns inside your own bathroom. If you lean your weight on a walker rather than steering with it, buy four wheels.

Straight talk

Is it right for you?

A good fit if you

  • need to turn in narrow hallways, doorways or a bathroom
  • want the cheapest three-wheel frame with real locking brakes
  • travel with the rollator and want a compact, light frame
  • walk outdoors as well as indoors and need 8" wheels
  • do not need to sit down during a walk

Look elsewhere if you

  • need to sit and rest partway through a walk, because there is no seat
  • weigh more than 275 lbs., which is this frame's limit
  • want a tray and a basket included, where the Traveler has both
  • want a rollator that arrives fully assembled
