I am trying to get some info so the more people that can awnser this the better. Where do you keep your wallet, ID's, and debit/credit cards when your out and about in your chair? Men where do you keep your wallets? Your pocket, a pouch, book bag, sitting on your lap, etc..... Lady's where do you keep yours? And also where do you keep your cell phones?

[rollingtrouble]

I keep my wallet right next to my pistol in my chair, on the side in my seat next to the mudguard. I won't say which side though, OPSEC

[julibugs]

I keep my phone around my neck with one bank card, which I use to pay for most things and i have a small handbag with a long shoulder strap that sits on my lap.

[MTB John]

In my wife's handbag.
But that's not a post injury thing, it's always been in there..
Sometimes I get pocket money though, if I'm good.

[D. Smith]

In a sports bag that hangs on the back of my chair. It has small packets that my wallet and phone go in nicely.

Nice! lol!
If I am downtown I stroll with protection, a knife, not a pistol. But nothing of mine that matters is ever in my purse if I am in the city. Best to be safe.

[nomis]

If I ever have any, a put it along with my MANpurse in a small bag slung under my chair. To the consternation of some, I dive between my legs to retieve it.

[Trinity]

I have a little bag thing that hangs underneath my chair by my legs, anything valuable goes in that, anything that I wouldn't miss if stolen goes on the back of my chair
This is the bag (not my chair!) large enough to take everything, small enough not to get in the way at all



PS Kev, long time no see, hope you're good

[Edinburgh Colin]

What money? I have a wife and 3 kids, I only see my money as it goes into someone else's purse or till!

[mcferguson]

I keep my phone in the side pocket of my Roho cushion cover. My wallet and keys go in a little pouch attached to my front left fork. I also have a medium sized backpack that I keep my water bottle and cath kits in.

I'm looking for one like that. Got a link please

[Trinity]

I got mine from here http://www.gblwheelchairs.com/ I have had a quick look on their site and can't see it, they def do them though! They are the most helpful people I have come across so if you ring or email them they are sure to help. Or if you look harder than me then you will probably find it yourself!

ed:- found it! http://www.gblwheelc...p/product/3507/

[Ratticis]

Phone and card in breast pocket, some money in my backpack that hangs on my chair, or in the pocket too. Actually, usually the cash/change ect I keep in one of those little urine sample bottles (without the urine)

[edlee]

I have something similar to that,, but a bit larger. It acts as a kind of shelf, under my chair,,and I have a separate purse-like thing that I keep my wallet and change in,, that I place in this "shelf". My legs keep it from falling forward,, and I actually carry a lot of stuff down there, because someone would have to reach between my legs to get at it.

Most anything else goes into a small bag that hangs from the back of my chair,,, accessable to anyone behind me,,, if they can sort through all the detritus.
ed

Mine is very similar to the Diestco wheelchair cargo shelf I don't know how to link it,, but I just googled the underlined phase and you get a choice of places to buy it,,, and a choice of prices. Guido might have something, too.

Ha! Nice. I'm getting a 9mm once my carry license gets approved and was wondering where the heck I'm going to put it. I think it'll fit into that little pocket on the side... unless I gain weight. =\

The money goes in the purse, and that's usually strapped around one shoulder, behind my neck and then the bag sits on my lap. It's probably a stupid way to carry it because someone could just run up and slip it off. That's why I usually carry Jack Dempsey's nephew with me. 250 lbs of muscley husband.

It would seem that I prefer that method as well....

Mini backpacks, how cool is that! Might order myself one. I've always carried my purse on my lap and I think this would be much nicer.

[Ted 303]

I just use a pouch on my lap but also clipped to the chair neva had hassle! Good site tho might get one there a bit more practical maybe. Nice one.

[mylovesinachair]

My honey keeps his in his lap.. Although not the greatest idea because one time it fell off when we walked to the store, MY FAULT, and we didn't notice until we were about to go clubbing that night... Hasn't stopped him from keeping it in his lap..

[knightrider]

I never carry my wallet, just cash, drivers license and bank card, i put it in my pouch thats attached to my cushion, if not then its in my pocket. If i carried everything in my wallet i'd be too scared to put it in my backpack that i sometimes use on the back of my chair.

[pikey]

I purchased a large pencil case and have attached it to the strap under my seat with a couple of cable ties it cost next to nothing and works well.

[Stand]

I rarely keep my cellphone on me because I cannot use it without someone's help anyway. Some circumstances I will but most likely not. I keep my money, bank cards, photo identification and so on in my money clip. That, along with my house key, gum, chap stick and cell phone whenever taken, go in the small pocket at the top of my book bag on the back of my chair. Unless we go somewhere that I would not want someone having easy access to it, like the casino, then my fiancé or someone else will take it from me.

[Doug]

I use a mini back pack by Puma or Adidas hanging on my left arm rest and it works beautifly.

[munkypoop]

Either with someone with me, or in my pants pocket, no one can get to the pants pocket when I am strapped into my chair.
