Grocery Helper
About this project
The grocery helper team – all brothers of the professional engineering fraternity,Theta Tau – developed a solution with only one permanent component: a small, unintrusive metal plate mounted to the back of Bliss’ chair. A swinging basket can be easily added and removed from the plate, providing Bliss a place to hold her groceries that can easily be swung to the back of the chair while she carries her kids home on her lap.
The challenge
She was looking for solutions in the past, and disliked bulky devices that required a permanent attachment to her chair – Bliss requires a solution that can be easily attached and removed when needed.
Who it helps
Bliss is a mom to three kids, a full-time doctor and is Hemipalegic. When Bliss takes her children out grocery shopping in San Francisco, she finds it difficult to manage both her kids and groceries while navigating city streets in her wheelchair.
