hihowdi.

dear du. i have heart problems and have been using scooters to do my shopping as i get tired. however , i want to walk again with my walker which has a seat so i can sit down and rest abit. a while ago i was in our local walmart and saw a lady with a cloth bag hanging from the underside of her walker . have tried everything to come up with it on the internet but no avail with search terms. is this a custom job or can it readily available on line or do i have to go to specialty medical shops to find one . thanks in advance allan01 bear.

The other option might be what my father did many years ago which is to reuse plastic bags. They are able to stretch around the handle bars and drop down in front. Seriously, did you try amazon? They are really, really handy. Good luck with your search.

they can be excellent resources for help with things like this. You could also speak to a customer service manager at a friendly neighborhood store if you are so inclined. I would suggest non-peak hours for the conversation.
