I am in the market for an umbrella for my mom's wheelchair and a "clip" to hold her 4 pronged cane on the wheelcahir when she would need to walk.

I found these items and would like some opinions.
I will be using these items when we are in the parks at WDW.

Arcoa E-Z Clip to hold the cane on the wheelchair
Preston Wheelchair Umbrella - Model 553668


TIA!
 
The clip looks fine to me.

The umbrella I see a couple issues with. The first is that I'd be very worried that it would end up dumping a lot of rain in her lap (which is already where you get wettest in a wheelchair when it's raining). The second is that it's a height where the person pushing is going to have trouble seeing and it gets in the way and it might be at eye level for a bunch of people. Personally, as a wheelchair user, I'd suggest planning on using cheap ponchos to cover her when it rains is going to be a better plan.

I planned on using it for shade over rain, but you are so right that she will get very wet and I might poke someones eye out. Do you have any tips for my shade idea??
TIA
 
for shade a good floppy hat, pants and long sleeves in a light material
