EZ-ACCESS EZ-ACCESSORIES Universal Crutch Pouch with 4 Pockets

This is the second one of these I have purchased and I was so happy they still had it. I bought the first one four years ago and it finally wore out. I have read some of the critical reviews and I really don’t understand them. I think it is well-made, sturdy and very water-resistant. I use it as my dialysis bag three days a week and it holds everything I need in just the right place. The main compartment holds a furry neck scarf, neck pillow, down throw and gallon plastic baggie with headphones, iPad charger and medication for dialysis. Two mesh side pockets hold a skinny thermos for early morning coffee, and a water bottle to take pills during dialysis. The back mesh pocket is flat and I wrap my iPad in a plastic bag to protect from the elements. The mesh pocket isn’t really isn’t designed for bulky things. I use the wheelchair straps for my manual wheelchair, so much better than a single strap. But I do use the single strap on my dialysis chair to keep the bag close by. There is also a handle strap at the top that comes in handy too. It may not suit everyone but for less than $28, I think it’s well worth the money. It meets my needs completely and I really hope they keep selling this particular bag.

I first got this exact same model number EZ Access Walker Bag in January when I went to a medical supply store in Manhattan located near my doctor's office to buy an immediately needed walker. The bag cost me $59.95. It turned out to be much more useful than I thought it would be, particularly at my job. With the bag on the side of the walker, and with the zipper on the large pocket open, I am able to put a ream of paper in the bag to carry it to our copier. I am able to put a gallon size bottle of water in the same large pocket to carry it from the refrigerator to my office. Tonight we had a lecture presentation and I was able to fill the large pockets (having bought a 2nd bag thru Amazon.com which arrived yesterday) with spoons, a container of milk, a bottle of Coffee Mate, Sugar, foam cups, all to bring to the refreshment table in the room for the presentation. It feels good to be able to do these relatively simple chores again, and not depend upon others to do them, as I have had to do since 9 months ago when i first came down with a series of physical injuries which coincidentally led to a relapse of a plasma cell cancer which had been in remission for 14 years. I do only use the pockets for carrying items at work and at home. I use the walker outdoors only to walk from my house or from my office, or from one of my many medical appointments, to a waiting car service. The bag's zippered pocket stays closed and flat while outside, keeping the bag nice and flat and unobtrusive, as I feel I must be while outdoors. At 4'6", having lost over 5 inches in the past decade due to my illness, it had become very hard walking around the city's sidewalks filled with people so much taller, who it seemed were always walking into me, having not noticed me down there while talking on their cellphone. At home I add a removable tray to the walker, and now with two pockets, it has become so easy to transport things all over my house. So, I really love this walker bag for helping me feel so much less helpless than I did 2 months ago. And, as I stated up above, the 2nd bag that I bought thru amazon.com was 19.99, whereas the 1st bag cost me $59.95, which is a whopping $40 more, from a medical supply store in Manhattan. Oh, and I should mention how much less I saw the exact same Drive folding walker model on amazon.com selling for, than what I paid for it in the same medical supply store. Too upsetting, so I remind myself that I had no choice as I needed the walker immediately, and that was the price I paid for immediate.

OK first the good news. The bag is made from good sturdy nylon; the same kind of stuff decent backpacks are made of. The straps are sturdy and fastened to the bag in a reasonable way. The couple of reviewers who claimed it was flimsy either had a different version of this bag, or were overstuffing it. There are two short loops on the top to hang over the canes of a manual wheelchair, and a strap to go around the backrest. On my wife's chair, I wish the loops were further toward the corners of the bag, and I wish the strap was lower, but y'know, one size fits all. The exterior pockets are quite useful. The bag isn't exactly stylish, but has a functional, purpose-built look, just like in the product photo. The size of the bag is a good compromise between interior space and exterior bulk. It's maybe a bit bigger than the space inside a conventional backpack. On the minus side, the bag hangs kinda low. It's hard for my wife to get her arms (which function normally) around to get stuff out of the bag, and impossible to unzip the zipper. With the zipper unzipped, the bag gaps open, losing the nice rectangular shape you see in the product photo. A bale or batten to stiffen the top of the bag would have been helpful. The zipper is hard to work and fabric tends to get caught in it. I wish the extra pockets were just a tiny bit bigger. This bag is way better than the recyclable grocery bag we were using before, It's decent value for money. There are a lot of ways to set up a wheelchair, and the design of the bag is a compromise. If you don't expect a custom fit, or you have a high-backed manual transfer chair (like a hospital chair), you'll be satisfied.

I got this for my Grandmother and it worked out well. Anytime she goes out she uses it. She can effectively fit her huge purse, bottles of water, magazines, snacks, glasses case... and more! This is a great bag that fits nicely, holds a lot and comes in handy. She uses it anytime she goes out and it helps with the needs of the person pushing the chair and the one in the chair.

I was excited when i received this pack and immediately TRIED to attach on my wheelchair. there were loops that looked like it would just be as easy as putting the loops onto the handles. It wasn't. As soon as i opened my chair, one of the loops broke off. There were no instructions on how this was to be placed so I guess the loops were not for this purpose. The straps were not helpful at all. It is sad that this didn't work out because the pack itself was absolutely fantastic. and big. It could hold all my stuff. So I was very disappointed in the failure to use the straps/loops to attach to my chair

Cumple con las características para lo que fue comprado.

Es la única bolsa que encontré para mis muletas y me ha servido muchísimo. Tiene una buena capacidad. Me cabe: celular, espejo, lapicero, carterita y sin el celular entra muy bien una toalla de manos y otro lienzo que llevo a fisioterapia. Lo único que no entiendo son la localización de las cintas Velcro, ya que en la posición donde están, para un muleta convencional, no hay manera de cómo usarlas todas o de forma que se ajusten a los tubos de la pata de la muleta. Queda chueca. Pero eso no es un impedimento para úsala. Ver foto. Tiene 4 compartimentos: una bolsa grande y profunda, una bolsa pequeñita y no profunda con zipper y por fuera un malla rectangular como para celular y una pequeñita para un lapicero u otro objeto similar. Llevo usándola unas 3 semanas y sin problemas. Llegó bien en su bolsa de paquetería. La volvería a comprar.

Fits my electric chair nicely and holds everything I need.

For now, it is on his manual wheelchair. Can hold small items. Seems well-made.

I purchased this for my older sister who is confined to an electric wheelchair. This product is nice and sturdy. It is very difficult to find something that is enclosed and fits the back of a wheelchair. It is far to expensive but not finding an alternative, it was the only one available. The downside is that it does not fit all wheelchair backs. I needed to improvise a bit. Thanks to all the people who sent their reviews. I found it immensely helpful!
