Introduction

This image shows a side-by-side comparison of two surface options for RehaDesign's dual-function wheelchair tray and bag, designed for users with varying mobility needs. On the left is the Smooth surface, featuring a clean, firm finish ideal for writing, reading, using a laptop, or mealtime activities. On the right is the Velcro surface, which is covered in a soft, hook-and-loop receptive material that allows objects to be securely fastened - particularly helpful for individuals with limited hand strength or coordination, such as those who are visually impaired or have neurological conditions. Both versions are framed in padded black edges with D-rings for secure attachment to mobility devices, offering stability, adaptability, and convenience in daily life.

A key feature of the new product is its availability in two surface options to suit different needs:

Smooth Surface: Ideal for writing, reading, using a laptop or tablet, or enjoying meals. This version offers a clean, firm workspace that enhances productivity and ease of use.
Velcro-Receptive Surface: Perfect for users who need added stability. Items such as toys, tools, utensils, or electronic devices can be securely attached using hook-and-loop fasteners, helping prevent slipping or falling - especially useful for individuals with limited hand control or coordination.

The sleek black surface is firm yet padded at the edges for comfort, and it's framed with multiple D-rings at each corner, allowing for secure attachment to a wheelchair, stroller, or car seat. A sturdy carrying handle at the top provides convenient portability. For individuals with visual impairments, the high-contrast, tactile structure offers clear boundaries and a dependable surface for daily activities, helping reduce the likelihood of misplaced items or unstable objects during use.

In addition to surface choices, the product is offered in two sizes to match users' lifestyles:

Compact Size: Designed with active wheelchair users in mind, this smaller version is lightweight and highly portable, making it ideal for travel, commuting, or on-the-go activities.
Larger Size: Perfect for home or stationary use, the larger version provides additional surface area without sacrificing portability. It's easy to carry and just as practical for everyday tasks.

The design is discreet and practical, integrating seamlessly into everyday wheelchair use without requiring additional assistance.

In addition to its use as a lap tray, it includes a built-in storage compartment, allowing it to double as a bag. With multiple carrying options, it can be worn as a backpack, carried as a shoulder bag, or conveniently attached to the back of a wheelchair, offering versatility and ease of transport.
