Carrying items, such as keys, portable phones, food or drinks while using a
walker is difficult. There is an obvious risk of falls and injury when
individuals attempt to carry any items while using a walker.
People will often try to
overcome this difficulty by tying plastic bags etc., to the walker or by trying
to use the walker "one handed."
The EasyCaddy™ enables a person to carry most
items safely and more importantly, independently. For example, many walker
users are able to cook a meal and make drinks but are unable to then transport
the plate and mugs to their table. The EasyCaddy™
gives a person the independence to carry what they want, when they want, without
relying on a caregiver.
The EasyCaddy consists of a container, which has two
compartments within it. This enables the user to separate items such as
glasses, keys, medications, etc. The larger compartment can accommodate
bulkier items like books or household items. The tray sits snugly on top of
the container and is designed to safely transport a plate of food. The
plate can be lifted from the tray easily and safely.
Many walker users wish to carry warm drinks from their
kitchen to other rooms. The EasyCaddy comes supplied with a blue mug
holder, which has been specially designed to sit on top of the tray. The
mug holder will hold a standard size mug and will prevent the mug from tipping
or spilling. The base of the holder will help to catch any spills or
splashes. The EasyCaddy is not meant for boiling liquids, teapots or
coffee pots. 
The EasyCaddy is also designed to hold a dinner plate
within the top tray (remove the blue mug holder). The back of the
EasyCaddy is "rounded" out so that a plate (up to 10 inches in diameter) can fit
securely on the tray without the plate sliding around while walking.
The EasyCaddy will fit most aluminum walkers on the
market today. It does not fit the "one button folding" type walker.
The one button folding walker is rarely sold in the US at this time. The
two button, two lever or two handled folding walker is perfect for the
EasyCaddy. Special attachment hooks are included that fit Invacare, Carex,
Guardian, Sunrise and Lumex folding walkers.
| The EasyCaddy is attached and removed
easily, even when a person's grip or dexterity is reduced. The
EasyCaddy sits on the upper part of the walker and is held firmly in
position by the use of two small clips, which snap onto the frame.
