Hip and Thigh Guards

Chafing, bruising, soreness...as Frank Sinatra sings, "That's life." But you can bet Ol' Blue Eyes would have gone first class in his wheelchair if he'd used one. Class with a capital K. You do the same, kiddo. With a martini in your hand, a babe on your arm and fashionable functional wheel chair accessories: adaptive hip and thigh supports in stylish colors.

Cool, man: Hip and thigh supports, in comfortable nylon, naugahyde, or mesh, attach to drop hook seats or solid fixed seats. These wheelchair accessories are adjustable, designed for maximum cushioning as you cruise the Strip. You can flex them like the Rat Pack flexed its muscle.

Even if your toes are a-tapping, a stable footrest wheel chair accessory provides muscle and bone stability. You'll just have to settle for being a casino shark, and hope luck will be a lady tonight.

Gone Bowling and Fishing

You're a kid and wearing out your wheelchair tires has lost its thrill. Stuck in the chair? Wish you could sit by the creek and fish, or knock down those pins? You can, the old-fashioned way or with a cool wheel chair accessory or two.

Fishing rod holders work the same way cup holder wheelchair accessories do, you can have a cup holder on the other arm of your wheelchair as you sit on the bank of the river and wait for a tasty trout to bite. You can carry lures in your under-seat or over-the-back backpacks, essential wheelchair accessories for the avid junior fisherman. There's nothing like fishing to capture the essence of childhood.

Kids also love to bowl. Mobility4Kids' Poss-I-Bowl attaches to the tubular bowling ramps at the bowling alley and allows children to release the ball with the touch of a bowling switch. This is ideal for kids with limited mobility in a wheelchair. Technically, it's not strictly for wheelchairs, but it allows independence and fun, so it definitely ranks on our list of wheelchair accessories. Who knew that choosing wheelchair accessories could be so much fun?

Now you can go back to being a demon on wheels in-between lazy afternoons fishing and beating your best friend at bowling.

Running Hot and Cold

You like the room and car cold but your honey likes it warm. Or she likes the air conditioning turned up full blast and you're searching for the electric blanket. You don't have to compromise with your wheelchair, no matter what temperature you're in. You can be comfortable anywhere by choosing wheelchair accessories wisely.

Wheelchair accessory style mavens have created ponchos, seat coolers and warmers, even sleeping-bag-like covers for your legs. The sleeping bags pair perfectly with the poncho wheel chair accessories. Does your sweetie like Seattle in the winter? An umbrella that attaches to your wheelchair arm completes the weather readiness kit in case of rain. Want a fan or spray bottle handy in hot weather? The Universal Wheelchair Caddy and Universal Tote CarryOn Jr. hold everything but the air conditioner. With the right wheelchair accessory kit, you can stay as refreshed as if you were floating in the pool...which, come to think of it, sounds like a great idea. The question is...heated pool or cold pool?

Oversized Wheelchair Desk Trays

You're so crazy about your wheelchair accessories you take them everywhere. Your friends say you're crazy, period. Not so¡ªsome of the wheelchair cooling cushions can also help when you're out of the chair. Now, to feed your wheelchair accessory habit, Allegro Medical is an accessory to your mania.

You love wheelchair trays¡ªthey're steady and can take punishment. You wish you had one that works when you're in bed. The Deluxe Overbed Table allows you to indulge your obsession whether you're in bed or in your chair. Who can blame you for going slightly overboard? Look at that padded footrest! Still, we admit that hanging your spoke guards on your bedroom wall might be a sign you need therapy.

Laptop Wheelchair Trays

You're on the go, wheeling and computing. You're working on that sales report or term paper, great American screenplay...or maybe just chilling out with a computer game. But your lap is getting tired. You haven't found the right tray wheelchair accessory¡ªmost trays are as cramped as airline trays, or too big for your needs. Maybe you¡¯re choosing wheelchair accessories that aren¡¯t right for your chair.

When lap desks don't do the job, you can order a Lap Top Wheelchair Desk wheel chair accessory. The slanted adjustable lid supports your LCD screen or holds sales figures, character notes and cheat codes. The tray can even hold your cell phone, although you have your electric wheelchair turned off so the laptop and phone don't interfere, right? You're a computing wizard on the go¡ªget yourself some high-tech wheelchair accessories and be geek chic.

Wheelchair Anti-Theft Accessories

You've got cameras and alarms in your house and car, in your office, and at school...did you ever think you'd need wheelchair anti-theft devices? If not, you¡¯ve been choosing wheelchair accessories unwisely.

Sad to say, there are probably people who get their jollies out of stealing your wheelchair¡ªthere's such a thing as karma, the ultimate wheel chair accessory. However, you don't want to give anyone the chance to rip you off. While alarm wheelchair accessories usually prevent patients from getting up and wandering off, they can also keep your chair from disappearing or getting trashed (again, karma works too.)

An anti-theft wheelchair accessory bar fastens to the wheels, stopping movement¡ªIt's like the Club for wheelchairs. An overhead anti-theft wheel chair accessory device fits all brands of wheelchairs. It may not deter everyone, but you can't forget karma.

Wheelchair Car Carriers

Your auto mechanic loves you so much he's cut his inflated estimates to half-inflated. All the modifications to your car have made him, or her, happy. You have the wheelchair lift or ramp. But assuming your wheelchair doesn't strap into the car seat, and most don't, where do you store the chair? Most foldable simple manual wheelchairs ride in the trunk, but can be jostled around easily and you need to store all your wheel chair accessories.

It's time to make your mechanic happy again. You can install wheelchair car carriers, a new one in wheel chair accessories. They'll even fit in your pickup truck bed or on a standard trailer hitch¡ªanti-sway bars keep you from having an accident that will give your mechanic a trip to Maui¡­bad for him, good for you.

Just as you would a bicycle, you can mount your foldable wheelchair on a bumper or a roof rack. With the car-top racks, you can automatically hoist your wheel chair accessory case, your wheelchair ramp, and oh yes, your wheelchair.

If you have a scooter, you're out of luck¡ªscooters usually need to be disassembled, which means you're stuck with your trunk lift wheelchair accessory. Still, your mechanic has to install that too. Is it any wonder he or she has named that first baby after you?
