Shopping Basket for a Power Chair

Story Behind the Invention

Inventors Jacqueline Kim Makins and Teddy Reed Makins of Piedmont, SC have created a shopping basket for individuals confined to a power chair. Now users can be afforded the convenience and functionality of a shopping cart while getting their independence back!

Those needing powered wheelchairs are faced with obstacles that most of us take for granted. Shopping can really be a struggle. Like many others, Jacqueline cannot walk into a store to use store scooters and depends on her power chair for everything she does. Even then, trying to hold a basket while operating her chair and grabbing store items without dropping them can be so difficult. She often left the store with only the things she could carry. Mostly, she wanted to shop independently without being a burden on others. With these issues in mind, alongside Teddy, they were inspired to create the Shopping Basket for a Power Chair!

This clever new basket will easily attach near the foot rests. It can be raised according to the size of ones power chair. A liner will fit into the basket to prevent spills while holding meat, dairy products, and more. This will be a great add-on for existing power chairs!
