Collection: Out & About
When looking after someone with additional needs, travelling and days out can mean more planning and preparation. This can not only involve researching your trip in more detail, such as locating toilets and rest breaks, but thinking about the kinds of things you need to take with you.
We stock a range of products to make this easier including; Radar Keys, Ear-Defenders, Wheelchair Covers and much more.
Out & About Accessories
Useful products aimed at taking some of the stress out of travelling, including walking reins, child harnesses, adapted rucksacks with detachable reins, changing mats and radar keys. The items help maximise independence.
Having a radar key with you lets you have access to disabled toilets while a portable changing mat helps make nappy changes easier and more hygienic. If you are caring for someone who is very active, with little or no sense of danger, walking reins and child harnesses are a great way to prevent accidents or someone running off.
Wheelchair Users
If you are a wheelchair user having the right equipment can make getting out and about so much easier. A good waterproof wheelchair cover is essential.
Waterproof Wheelchair Covers
Similar to the capes in that they are intended to cover the body in rainy weather but they incorporate sleeves - ideal if the user needs their hands free and wants to propel their own chair. Again they will pack away well until needed and are easy to put on and off.
Some are designed to come up to the waist, encase the body and cover the legs while the user is in their wheelchair. Waterproof and lined for extra warmth, the user can be lowered into or sit into the cover, which is then zipped up at the front. This style is great in bad weather and for those whose lack of mobility or have a condition which makes them feel the cold.
Leg and Lap Covering Wheelchair Covers are available in fleece lined or unlined versions these covers are designed to be slipped over the legs and lap of the wheelchair user. They attach the wheelchair at the waist and pull easily over the chair footplate. Suitable for wheelchair user who may need to get in and out of their chair.
Capes & Covers
These garments have no sleeves and come with a hood. They are designed to be easy to pull over the head and drape over the body and wheelchair. They are waterproof but unlined. The advantage is that they will fold away in a bag until needed, ideal for rainy days. If the weather is cold the wearer would need warm clothes or a fleece poncho underneath.
