A bag specially designed for use with a wheelchair that brings greater convenience, safety and self-reliance to the user

 

Currently, bags specially designed for wheelchairs are available in the market.  However, choices are limited and most of them are designed to be hung at the back of the wheelchairs.  It is difficult for a wheelchair user to reach for the bag and get things in or out. The venture aims to design a practical and wheelchair-friendly bag with an add-on pulling handle that enables the user to bring the bag to the side of the wheelchair for access conveniently, safely and without the need for other people’s help.
