Traveler Aisle Chair
The limitations of airplane aisle chairs are numerous, including that the wheelchair user can’t self propel after transferring into the aisle chair, and that the aisle chair is usually left behind on the jet bridge after boarding. That leaves wheelchair users stranded in their seats once they’re on the airplane, without a convenient and safe way
to get to the lavatory or to disembark
the plane without help. Icon’s Traveler is a
personal aisle chair that puts wheelchair
users, particularly self-propellers, back in
control. At 14" wide and 16" long, the Traveler
was designed to scoot through airplane aisles
and into many airplane lavatories. It weighs
just 11 lbs. and folds compactly when not in
use. When it’s needed, it can be unfolded/
assembled in under 30 seconds, and its low
height makes transferring easy. Users propel the Traveler by grabbing the armrests of the airplane seats and pulling themselves down the aisle. Go to the Epical Solutions Web site for a video demonstration of the Traveler being used in an airplane.

Buddy Roamer
When kids are ready to take the next step in gait training — meaning that they need support while upright, but don’t need to be surrounded by a lot of hardware that can get in the way — there’s the Buddy Roamer. It’s available in four sizes to fit kids from toddler- hood to adulthood. Adjustability
is easy and convenient: Adjust up
to 3" of height without needing
to remove the user from the gait
trainer. Options (available for all
sizes) include upper-extremity support, no-roll-back brakes, caster locks, and lower-extremity alignment support. The Buddy Roamer gives kids (and adults!) the support they need while leaving them free to move and explore in all directions.
