A walking bag is an accessory that can be attached to a walker or rollator to carry personal items. They come in various sizes, colors, and patterns, and can be made from different materials. Some have compartments, transparent pockets, and personalized designs. Baskets and small carry-on bags are also available as alternatives.
A walking bag is an accessory, similar to a bag, that allows the user to carry various items. It can be used in place of a handbag by those who need both hands to walk with a walker. When using a rollator bag, the individual’s hands are free to hold the rollator securely. The rollator bag or pouch is usually attached to the front of the rollator. Many walking bags have storage pockets and come in various sizes, colors and patterns.
To be easily accessible to the elderly or those with limited mobility, a walking bag typically attaches to a walker using easy-to-grasp hooks, clasps, or buttons. These bags can be made from various materials. Most tote bags look like oversized purses and can be denim, canvas, or cotton. Corduroy is also popular. You can use prints, stripes, solids and other various patterns.
There are patterns available for the individual who prefers to sew their walking bag by hand or with a sewing machine. Kits may also be available at craft stores. By searching the Internet, it may be possible to learn how to hand sew a walking bag from simple household materials.
Walker accessories may vary in size. These can range from a large purse to a small purse. The large bag can typically hold bulkier items, such as books, magazines, and even groceries. A pouch, however, is typically used to carry smaller personal items such as keys, glasses, or a wallet.
Some walking bags have compartments for storing items. In some cases, pockets may be transparent to allow the individual to see what is inside. May feature zipper or Velcro® closures. Some are machine washable.
Custom walking bags can be customized. This can include stitching embroidered into the design of initials or a name. This adds a personal touch to the bag. One can easily find quilted or patchwork designs. Monogram bags can be found online or by looking at specialty stores.
In addition to bags and fanny packs, there are baskets that use the same concept. A walking basket can be made from wicker or other materials. As an added accessory, there are basket liners that add versatility, allowing for pockets for storage.
Alternatively, another option may be a small carry-on bag that can be mounted on the side of the rollator. Many of these come with bottle holders that detach easily for added versatility. Some models are even waterproof.
