Road Trip Tips for travelling with mobility devices

Summer is close with Holidays just around the corner. Many families take advantage of the sunny, warm weather and take to the road. They are heading to the coast, visiting family, going to family reunions, Christmas get-togethers or just travelling.

If you are heading on a road trip and require aids, here are some handy hints to share with you.

Always carry spare wheels/tyres should you have a scooter or wheelchair. If you have a walking stick, don’t forget to take some extra stoppers with you. What could be worse than spending your whole time away searching through shops for spare parts?

Folding walking sticks minimise chances of misplacing a non-folding one – with them fitting nicely in a bag out of the way. At WOW Mobility, there is a large selection of different folding walking sticks.  

The Swift Lite wheelchair from WOW Mobility is a great choice should you be looking for a portable wheelchair to go travelling with minimum space taken up in your vehicle.

Pull-apart scooters are ideal for plane trips and car trips.

Are you going away for a couple of days or perhaps weeks? Consider buying a set of portable ramps to take with you. Available in all shapes and sizes, these ramps are easy to use and conveniently fold away. 

Suction grab rails are an excellent travelling extra. Ensuring you will feel safe and secure in anyone’s bathroom. These easy to use handles vacuum seal onto the surface, with no need for tools.
