There are many accessories that can help make a walker more functional. Some of the items assist in the ease of movement while other accessories assist in the ease of carrying items.
Wire Walker Baskets: Wire Walker Baskets attach to the top of a walker and can carry a variety of small to medium items. They can assist with carrying things from room to room or even while moving around outside the home.
Knee Walker Baskets: Knee Walker baskets attach lower on the walker around knee height. They also carry small to medium items but are often smaller than the baskets that attach at the top of the walker.
Front Walker Bags: These bags attach to the top middle of a walker usually by velcro. They contain multiple pockets and zippers that can carry small lightweight items. Some front walker bags consist of a single large pocket.
Side Walker Bags: These types of bags attach to the side of a walker. Like the front walker bags, they contain pockets and zippers for the storage of small items. These pouches are smaller than the front bags and carry less.
Shopping Bag Hooks: These carabiner-like attachments allow for several grocery bags to be clipped and hung from the front or side of the walker allowing for less trips to and from the car. These are among some of the great walker accessories.
Walker Trays: Adding a tray to the top of a walker allows for food to be easily carried from room to room. These trays are often fold-able. Trays can be bought with or without cup holders. Some combinations of baskets with tray tops are available to allow for maximum storage and convenience.
Accessories that assist in the Ease of Movement
Walker Glide Caps: Glide caps replace the basic rubber tip on a walker and allow for easier movement.
Walker Skies: There are a variety of skies available for walkers. These skis help the walker to glide over many different surfaces both indoors and out. Often these skies help reduce the noise of the walker moving over surfaces.
Tennis Ball Glides: These glides are shaped like a tennis ball and help to provide a smooth walking experience by providing the cushion of a bouncy ball.
Walker Light: Walker lights are small flashlights that fasten to the top of a walker. They are hands free, and can be easily adjusted to point at different angles to allow the walker to see in low light situations.
Walker Seats: Walker seats can be attached to a walker and often can be folded up when not in use. This accessory aids in movement by allowing the walker to rest when needed.
