Purse Securing System for Wheelchair Use

The challenge

Traveling in a wheelchair with a purse on the seat often causes the bag to bounce, jostle, tip over, and sometimes even spill out the contents.

Who it helps

Wheelchair users who carry a purse or personal bag with them on the seat of their chair.

How it works

This solution will hold Michelle's purse in place and prevent it from jostling, bouncing, or tipping.

Our proposed solution is a 3D-printed attachment that connects to users wheelchair. The strap weaves through the attachment and connects with a quick-release clip. The strap is also adjustable in length depending on bag size.
