Walker trays are small durable trays that fit into the bottom of your walker basket, or onto the walker or rollator itself. They can be used with foldable or rigid walkers and rollators. They are ideal devices that are designed to carry items such as drinks, cups, cans, meals, snacks, small change, keys, mail, pens and etc. Walker trays can be used indoors and outdoors and are ideal for carrying items from room to room.
Most walker trays are made out of molded plastic. The plastic is molded until it forms cup holders, cutlery slots, etc. Most walker trays have sloped corners which makes them easier to clean. They also have raised edges so your items won't slide off of the tray. Most walker trays can also be washed in a dishwasher.
Walker trays are generally lightweight so they won't weight your walker down, but they can carry a reasonable amount of weight and are quite sturdy. Most trays are built to carry a certain amount of weight so make sure you don't place more weight on the tray than it is capable of carrying. Putting too much weight on your tray could cause the tray to break off, causing your rollator or walker to tip. This could lead to an injury or accident.
Walker trays that are specifically designed to mount right onto your rollator or walker are attached with clip on brackets, so you don't need to use any tools to mount them. These brackets are designed to keep the tray securely and to help stop it swaying. Most walker trays are also designed to fold out of the way when you are not using them. Some walker baskets come with a tray included, but if your basket doesn't have one you can buy one separately and attach it yourself.
Walker trays are available in various sizes, styles, colors, designs and materials. You can also buy replacement trays for walker baskets if the tray included should break. Some trays also come with replaceable placemats included. Be careful when you are using a walker tray as you don't want to spill any hot food or liquid on yourself.
