accessories wanted for power wheel chairs  

We tried the basket from the walker. I will look at the name and see if I can find something. I know that at our Canadian Health Centre here they carry baskets for wheelchairs but this wheelchair is on loan to us and when my husband's gone, well I will see what I can do.

I do not know if we will be able to rent one, or buy one. I know we had to buy the cushion for it, and if my husband will have to move into one that will is a semi-recline, we do not know if that cushion will fit it. If we can get one on loan that would be fine, but I do not want to buy a basket and have something that would be redundant later.

I don't know your whole situation, but it puzzles me that you haven't mentioned the "Scooter Store" or another one of those that advertise on TV. They say they get you your own and I have known people that got them totally free. That way you would feel more free to add on to your own property. Maybe they have all the attachments you need or else you could it have it customized locally, to suit your needs.

They probably have them. I just am a practical type who thinks that it would be easier to have the care giver put a basket on the back instead of lugging a granny cart around or the guy in the wheelchair wanting to keep his stuff with him instead of leaving it at home.

I just know I have seen them on chairs around here and beleive they came with them like from the scooter placre!

I hope they have them. It is just that the chair is a loaner as if my husband does have Als he will only have it for a year or so and then he will have to get the model that reclines. And I do not know if the basket will fit on both.

I looked for accessories for the motorized wheelchair and there is not any. There are some for the scooters or the Jazzies but none for the wheelchair. I guess they expect you to drive around in a van or the granny shopping cart. I felt I needed one when we got that coffee maker.

What we have been doing is putting the recyclable grocery bag on the handles at the back, but that rather limits what we can get for at a time. We can pick up some bread and milk and a few vegetables, but not enough for a week. So what usually happens is that I get someone to look after my husband and I go off with a friend of mine who has a car.

That is what I was looking for. I will see if they are available in Canada.

It would seem rather silly and since my husband is steering it with a joystick, it would rather difficult when going over the railway track. It would have to be something that hooks up on the back and does not reach the ground and goes over the motor.
