ECV with a walker

[HappyCamperToo]

My walking is becoming less stable, and I'd like to take my walker along with my ECV. Anyone else do this? How have you attached it?

hi, i haven't taken a walker but do take my forearm crutches when using my scooter.

i had someone make me a crutch holder to fit behind the seat. I recently took that off.

I have in the past used a bungee cord around the seat to hold crutches. and at home depot bought what is suppose to be nailed into a wall to hold like tools, handles from shovels, brooms etc.... the items clip into the bracket. so i took one of those and with a bungee cord hooked cord into screw holes on each end. then put the bracket/clip thingie on back of seat using bungee cord around seat to hold it on.

just the bungee cord or this tool holder thingie bungee cord around seat work perfectly for forearm crutches. but can see how it could also work to hold a walker on behind the seat. at least its an idea.

good luck

If you are using Disney's ECV, I'm thinking there is enough of a rear "bumper" to support the weight of folded walker, and maybe a bungee strap could secure it to the back of the seat.

I'll be using a scooter that I own. I'm guessing I'll have to see about jury-rigging something such as brady961 described. Right now, I'm not thinking clearly enough to follow the description. I guess I can just go to a hardware with both and see what's available/what the sales people might suggest.

Any other ideas or descriptions are greatly appreciated.

i sent you a private message with a link to the bar grip i use to hold crutches on back of scooter seat and a bungee cord around seat, hooked to each end of the bar grip.

oh the link in the private message isn't home depot but that is where i bought mine just like one in link pic.

hope this helps.

Thank you for the link. My poor fried brain just wasn't visualizing it until I saw the picture. I'm thinking it might work. My seat flips down, but that shouldn't be a problem, should it? Do you put something over the bungee cord so that it's not too lumpy to lean against while you're riding?

My seat flips down too. just can't flip it down if anything is hooked in the grips. But I can fold my seat down with the grib bar and cord attached.

No I don't put anything over the bungee as I really don't even feel it on my back. good luck. let us know what you find that works.
