Description
The Nova Star 8 Rollator lets you fine-tune both the seat and handle height with Quick-Fit push buttons, so it fits just right. It rolls on durable 8″ rubber wheels for indoor and outdoor use, Nova’s patented locking hand brakes squeeze to slow and push down to lock, and the patent-pending Lock & Lift pin keeps it folded for easy lifting. The padded seat lifts up to reveal a storage compartment. It supports up to 300 lbs.
Most walkers only let you adjust the handles. The Nova Star 8 Rollator adjusts the seat too, which means you can set the handles for comfortable walking and set the seat so your feet rest flat on the floor when you sit. That combination is what makes it such a popular everyday choice.

Indoors and Outdoors
The 8″ rubber wheels on the Nova Star 8 Rollator are a good middle ground. They are large enough to roll over sidewalk cracks, grass, driveways and parking lots without catching, but the frame still turns easily in kitchens, hallways and store aisles. Rubber tread also rolls quietly on hard floors and grips well outside.
The patented brakes are simple to use: squeeze the handles to slow down, and push them down to lock the wheels before you sit. Because locking is a downward push instead of a hard squeeze, it works well for people with arthritis or a weaker grip.
Folding and Storage
When it is time to put the walker in the car, the Lock & Lift pin holds the frame closed so it does not swing open while you lift it. At about 18 lbs., the Nova Star 8 Rollator is light enough for most people to load into a trunk or back seat. The padded seat flips up to reveal a storage compartment for a purse, a water bottle or a few groceries.
Choosing Standard or Petite
The Standard size fits users from 5’6″ to 6’2″, and the Petite size fits users from 4’11” to 5’5″. Within each size, the Quick-Fit buttons let you set the exact handle and seat height. To check the fit, stand up straight with your arms relaxed at your sides. The handles should line up with the crease of your wrist, leaving a slight bend in your elbows. When you sit, your feet should rest flat on the floor.
Options
- Size: Standard (users 5’6″ to 6’2″) or Petite (users 4’11” to 5’5″)
- Colors: Red, Pink, Purple, Blue or Sky Blue (Standard); Red, Purple or Blue (Petite)
