Your wheelchair seatbelt or positioning strap is there for a reason – use it! Whether you're in a powered chair or being pushed by someone else, it's your safety net against slides and falls, especially on slopes and uneven surfaces. This isn't about restriction; it's about confidence and security. Quick reminder: when travelling in a vehicle, your wheelchair belt and car seatbelt work as a team – you need both to stay properly protected!

Don't overlook your wheelchair cushion - it's one of your most important pieces of equipment! Regular inspections can make a real difference to your health and comfort. Check for signs like flattened areas, rips, or reduced support. When cushions wear out, they're more than just annoying - they put you at risk for pressure injuries and can throw off your posture. With good maintenance, expect about 2-3 years of use. Notice any discomfort or visible damage? Time to consider a new one. Investing in a quality cushion is investing in your wellbeing!

Did you know that proper tyre pressure can make all the difference to your day?

Check your wheelchair tyres weekly. Manual wheelchair tyres often need higher pressure, sometimes up to 100 PSI, while powered wheelchair and mobility scooter tyres usually need much lower pressure. Always follow the pressure printed on your tyre.

Properly inflated tyres mean easier pushing, better control, and longer tyre life. It is a small job that makes a massive difference to your comfort and safety.

Pop into our showroom if you need a pressure gauge or are not sure how to check yours.
