Wheelchair Accessories

I am designing a product for my A level in product design, However i need some results from users in wheelchairs!

An umbrella type device to cover the person in the wheelchair but leaving hands free to operate the chair...
some sort of suspension for the wheels would be a good idea as well, as going over rough surfaces can be a nightmare...good luck...good question.

Gabe - now 5 months post-accident which caused the loss of both legs, above the knee, stopped in at a Disability Technology Expo to see what might ...

OK, so, sometimes I like to make dolls of my roleplay characters, just as something to do in my spare time. One of my favorite characters in one of my favorite roleplays that I am currently in is in a wheelchair and is an extremely integral part of the roleplay. I wanted to make a doll of her but I can't seem to find a doll maker online (just the little doll sites, not a real doll) that has wheelchairs in it. It kind of makes me sad, especially because one of my best friends is in a wheelchair and she wanted a doll of herself as well. So, if anyone knows of even a semi-good doll maker online where you can make dolls in wheelchairs, please tell me. Thanks.

Barbie makes one in a wheelchair.

I am an 18 year old boy who spends most of my time in a wheelchair and I never had a girlfriend in highschool but my first month of college I found someone I really like. The only problem is i think she is dating me because she feels sorry. So does the wheelchair bother you or is it just an expensive accessory?

It definitely requires a mature mindset and a deep attraction no matter what. I believe that it could happen that you find both of these things in a girl. If i really liked a boy who was good looking smart and genuine but was in a wheelchair, I don't think I would have minded much. :)

as a person who pushes a wheelchair a lot - I would sugguest you redesign the handgrips on the back of the chair. As a person who is over 6' tall I get a backache after leaning over to push down on the handles after about an hour or so.

Why do all eyeglass commercials have fashion models that look like they don't belong in eyeglasses. I need glasses to see. They aren't some trendy accessory, Take your fashion and shove it. You wouldn't ride a designer wheelchair and expect to get away with it. People who don't need glasses and wear them to be trendy should be shot.

yeah wow and i kinda noticed the woman always has dark hair
