Question: I'm looking for a manual wheelchair with a basket on the front (similar to the type found at Wal-Mart for customer use) to take my grandma shopping since many stores do not offer manual wheelchairs and she can not drive a wheel chair. ~Nadia

Answer: If you can't find a wheelchair that has a basket attached to it there are various types of baskets, packs, pouches and holders that you can attach to a manual wheelchair. Some pouches attach to the arm rest or push handles of a wheelchair by hooks, loops or Velcro straps. There are also bags and pouches that can fit underneath the seat of a manual wheelchair. Most of these bags and pouches are lightweight and can be bought starting at about $10. If you are looking for more carrying or storage space you may want to get a bag or pouch that attaches onto the back of the wheelchair. These bags fit onto the back rest of the wheelchair and are lightweight, but quite large in size. There are various types available and bags with zippered compartments are ideal for carrying personal items. Just make sure your bag or basket doesn't hinder the movement of the wheelchair and won't get caught up in the wheels.
