The fact that I'm in a wheelchair and a deal popped up for this seemed unbelievable, especially because I had just been cursing about my old wheelchair bag earlier in the day! I LOVE all the pockets and compartments and I love its size! Obviously, time will tell how well it holds up, but even if it lasts a short amount of time it was a great purchase!

Perfect backpack for wheelchair users

My parents use a wheelchair when visiting Dr office, or any event where walking is a challenge. I found this backpack to be extremely helpful because it gave me a safe secure place to keep both our personal belongings, my three-ring notebook (for Dr notes), keys, wallet, etc. This frees up my hands to steer the wheelchair wherever we need to go. I love the multiple storage areas which are just the right size for all our items. I love that I can switch from the handle straps to shoulder straps in just a couple of snaps. It's made of very good quality fabric and zippers. Price is very reasonable and it arrived right on time. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend it.

I went back and forth on whether an adaptive backpack was appropriate for me but I'm really glad I got it. I have some issues with fine motor skills and the large pulls allow you to just hook one finger around them. I really liked that the pulls are different colors which helps give me a mental shortcut for finding things and an easy way to communicate an item's location to someone trying to help me. The backpack sections open extra wide making it easy to get things in and out. The main section is just large enough to fit my folded down Hurry Cane-about 17 inches long at my height setting. Unfortunately, I do have to put my water bottle in that section as well because my 40-oz Thermoflask is just a little too large for the exterior bottle holders. A 22-oz travel cup fits fine and I expect standard disposable water bottles would as well. The fabric and construction seems to be of good quality with a heavier ballistic nylon type of fabric across the bottom. I expect to get a lot of use from this and it is much easier for me to get items in and out of than a standard backpack.

This backpack is well built and has plenty of room to fit everything I need to put in it. I can put my Lap Top in it along with other items I need. I can put my water bottle on the side and some snacks in it a;so.

I really like the Adaptive 17" Backpack Black - Embark, it is study and can handle anything. If you drop it you don't have to worry about destroying your lap top or any thing in it. I love the differe
