When the worst of the winter weather arrives, it can be tempting to keep yourself confined to the indoors, something that rings especially true for wheelchair users who may find it difficult to keep warm and cosy in their chairs at the best of times.
But it doesn’t have to be this way, as there is an extensive range of accessories and add-ons available for all types of wheelchairs. From classic self-propelled chairs to the most advanced mobility scooters, everything you need to make the most of your time is up for grabs at an affordable price.
In particular, the following come highly recommended for warm and cosy outings, during the autumn-winter season:
