Air travel in a wheelchair?
We can help!
We aim to improve accessibility and increase mobility and autonomy for disabled or injured wheelchair users.
We design, manufacture, and distribute wheelchair attachments to allow users to safely and conveniently bring their carry-ons with them through airports.
Our design is easy to attach, easy to fold, and fits easily under most airport wheelchairs for maximum utility.
During air travel, wheelchair users often suffer injuries, damage to their chairs, lack of assistance, and luggage mishandling.
We believe that they deserve better.

Wheelchair Users Can't Transport Carry-ons Conveniently.
Carrying luggage in a wheelchair often means putting bags on laps or around necks, which is impossible for many individuals: the Injured, the elderly, or those who simply want comfort.
However, checking luggage in means wheelchair users cannot get to items such as medication or emergency utilities.
During a flight of his, Charles Brown, a Marine Corps veteran and wheelchair user (pictured to the left), faced a total lack of luggage assistance: "the San Antonio airport doesn't have any porter service available to help him carry his shower wheelchair, carry-on suitcase and two large checked bags to the car."
