Wheelchair accessories, and other items I use as a wheelchair user
16
items Most of these I've used daily for years, and these are my opinion about the items. A few are items I'd love to use, and hope to in the near future.
I have the cupholder, and love it. It's sleek, easy to attach, and great to have a place to put down my coffee (which I never drink quickly with 2 young ones lol). I love that it's nice-looking, and they also make small bags to hold money, cards, etc...
Designed to be Seen | FFORA
This has been an absolute game-changer as a backrest. Fully customizable, and great for anyone that isn't symmetrical, as you can change how it supports you. It also looks really neat, and is durable.
Original - Tarta
Love this underchair bag. Ive used it everyday for 5 years, and it's held up great. Special pocket for catheters or medical supplies, a spot for your phone, and always have a place to put items you want with you, but not on your lap.
Original - Tarta
A good quality wheelchair pouch, you can use under your seat, behind your chair, or can be worn cross-body. Price is better than under chair pouches sold by wheelchair companies.
CENTRAL ADAPTIVE CROSSBODY
Some useful attachments that can be used for a wheelchair, walker, other mobility device, or stroller, from a great quality company that makes fantastic quality bags, pouches, etc.
TOM BIHN Wheelchair or Stroller Straps
The Freewheel enables me to be able to go places I didn't used to be able to. I can now do a wider variety of trails, get through some snow, or slush, and cobblestones dont make my teeth chatter anymore. Well-designed, and durable.

I've been using Spinergy wheels for over a decade, and like how they work for me. Better vibration dampening, hold up well, and some rims can come in a variety of colours (like purple, which has me intrigued for my next set). I can't go back to "stoc...
Everyday Wheelchair Wheels
My last 4 frames have all been TiLite chairs; I vary between the ZRa (which has a number of adjustable features), and the ZR (fewer adjustable features, but weighs a bit less). Good quality, made-to-measure, custom wheelchairs.
TiLite ZRA
I've had carbon fibre rigid sideguards for my last 2 chairs, and it's been an absolute game-changer. No more soggy pants when going through a puddle, or dirt and debris from various terrain. Helps keep my clothing, cushion, and backrest clean. Absolu...
Side Guard Options
Varilite's Evolution cushion is lightweight, adjustable (with a valve), and simple. I used them for over a decade. Suggest traveling with a patch kit, as if there's a hole, the whole cushion deflates to the foam, but it's surprisingly durable, and th...
Evolution™
I'm looking forward to getting this product, as long as my coverage goes through (if you know, you know). I've seen it five many wheelchair users more independence, and I can't wait to be able to chase my child on a bike, push a grocery cart, and go ...
Permobil SmartDrive
The zipper makes these helpful for those that wear KAFO's, AFO's, SMO's, etc. Available in a variety of designs, and colours.
BILLY Footwear | Fashion and Function For All
Many of us struggle with temperature regulation, and summer heat can be challenging to manage, so I keep these at the ready. Simply wet, ring out, and out on neck, for a cooling feeling. I wet them again as needed.
Sukeen [4 Pack] Cooling Towel (40"x12")
The absorbant underwear is great postpartum, or as an extra layer with, or without a pad. Easy to care for, and no elastic to dig in to my scars. This code gives you $20 off, and helps me out by giving me a discount as well. Appreciate any uses of i...
All Underwear - Knix Canada
I've used the 4 quadrant cushion, and it worked well for a few years. Eventually, the little air triangles burst, and it isn't as supportive, but you can replace them, if the rest of the cushion is still working. Able to come with a waterproof, rever...
Vicair wheelchair cushions for optimal skin protection
Tired of the acrobatics needed to be able to close a door while using a wheelchair or other mobility device? This is a great solution. Easy to install, looks sleek, and is durable.
