Would this work for someone in a wheelchair? He would be propelling himself.

Tricky question. If he were to tuck it in and keep it clear of the wheels, yes, but it would be awkward and get very hot quickly. It's very possible he'd get soaked with sweat before he got soaked with rain! If it draped over him and the chair, he'd have to be very careful of getting it caught in the wheels as it's a fairly generously cut garment, depending on his size. It he went slow and practiced, he should be ok. Again, depending on his size and the drape of the poncho, some tucking or trimming may be necessary. Unfortunately, ponchos like these weren't designed for sitting in a wheelchair. On the bright side though, the fabric is tough enough that minor trimming if needed shouldn't fray the material.

For the price I think it would wouldwork as well as anything that I have seen, Please note that your arms will get wet because there are no actual sleeves, but I think it will fit over the wheelchair easily. Good luck, Jeff

I think it would be fine for him to use it alone if he doesn't have dementia or some reason not to understand about the way to turn around or reverse. If his arms are fairly strong, should be no problem. It is very easy to push, too. If there would be an incline, maybe you could help a little if needed.

Absolutely. I'm disabled and have no trouble handling it. It's very well made and makes my life easier.

I don't have a wheelchair to compare it too. Although, I believe that it would if the wheelchair isn't really wide.......I love this computer desk for my laptop.

I haven't tested it in a wheelchair, but after buying two of them and trying them in several different kinds of chairs, I would think that the sling-type seat in a wheelchair wouldn't support this device securely enough to make it reliable. It needs to remain securely cradled in a chair (works great, for example, in soft chairs with arms--recliners, for example).

i would not use it in a wheelchair. move it the wrong why and the device may send you out of your wheelchair.

If the wheelchair's wheels have bicycle style spokes and hub, it should work. These would be a perfect night time safety feature, I would recommend giving them a shot, especially since they're so affordable. Cheers!

No A wheelchair is a different size and weight, and has much bigger wheels. Even if you managed to line them up and attach the clips, I would guess it would be quite unstable.

My husband is 6'4" and almost 300 lbs - works fine except he wishes it had large, regular wheelchair type back wheels so he can help move him or move himself.

In my opinion; YES, but lock the wheelchair in position and place Aerobic pedaler in front of you at a comfortable distance to pedal from. I modified mine a bit by fastening rubber feet so they could not turn over with drilling a hole in the top of them and using a sheet metal screw through them into the metal pipe, but I believe a good adhesive would work as well. They were a nuisance to keep flat on the floor otherwise.

I would say it would be difficult to get things out if you are sitting in the wheelchair.

I would think it would - it grasps the can & there's nothing to turn. Believe he'd be well advised to try it.

It would not. And if he has any stiffness in his legs, he would not be able to get up.

I'm going to say yes qualifying the yes with the effect of the lights tricking the eyes of people passing by is at running speed and up. If your wheelchair has a small enough hub and bicycle spokes it will mount and function

Sure you can, if your legs reach the floor and you use your feet to 'walk' along. As you can imagine not a great wheelchair alternative for anything other than short distances. However it works fine to sit in and have your caregiver push you with the handles. I do this with my lady friend all the time.

My only additional thought is it depends on how mobile the person in the wheelchair wants to be. If he/she is on a flat floor & mostly wanting a place to rest the glass, it should work if the base fits measurements Jan provided. Going over door sills between rooms may be more difficult. I wonder if a napkin circling the glass will increase stability? Another option might be a fine quality (translate "attractive & a little special") flat bottom juice glass.

Tammi, no I don't believe the grabber could help much in that department. It's horrible trying to find things to help when your mobility is impaired. Sorry!
