With there being a few brands to choose from within the mobility aid market when shopping for a mobility scooter, you might have used a few of them in your time and are possibly more happy with some compared to others that you have used.

There may be something that you like about a particular make and model of the mobility scooter that you currently own or have owned in the past or may have specific requirements that you find are met by a particular brand compared to the others available.

Is there a brand that you like so much that you simply would always purchase that make of mobility scooter and prefer to stick with the one that you know?

Or maybe you are experimental and will give a different one a try when it comes to making a new purchase.

Feel free to share your opinions and thoughts on this.

I have noticed over the months that there can be quite a few searches of people looking for information on how to use a zimmer frame, although i have a post about that very topic and its possible that plenty of people would imagine a zimmer/walking frame to be an easy mobility aid to use, i wonder if maybe not enough guidance and advice is given to new users of frames.

Its understandable that the most basic and standard walking frames and even the ones with wheels on the front will not appear to most people as something that a user will need much training and guidance to learn how to use properly but even though they are some of the most basic looking mobility aids, it must be remembered that the user might have a variety of health issues that can affect balance and coordination and even strength challenges in various parts of their body that may affect their ability to get comfortable with and confident using the frame.

If you are a user of walking frames or have been in the past or maybe you have a friend or a relative that uses one, do you feel that you or they have been given enough advice and guidance on how to use it and have any other health issues that you or they live with been taken into account to ensure that yourself or others are assured about how to use the walking frame?

Once you have purchased a mobility scooter, there are plenty of extra attachments that you can find to purchase, both online and at your local mobility products retailer.

Everything from a holder to place a drink and bags to store light shopping to various types of covering to protect you and your mobility scooter from the weather, as well as items like alarms, covers for the control panel and so much more.

Some of these may seem less important than others, while some are very useful like a holder for an oxygen bottle that makes it safer for the user to be able to have their oxygen bottle near enough with it still being held in place securely.

Each person has their wants and wishes, ideas that they think would be a good addition to their own mobility scooter, even if its not something that everyone else would want or need it may be very useful for you if it was available or maybe you even build some of your own extras to be fitted to your mobility scooter.

What have you thought would be really great if you could purchase it for your mobility scooter but have not seen available for them yet?
