His has a basket on the front so there wasn't a need for a carrier. I agree that the side closest to the seat should probably be shorter. I'm also thinking that long strips of velcro along both sides would keep it in place best, since the balance of the wt. would be *off* with the disparity. Let me play with one & test it out & I will get back to you as to how that works out. <br />Thanks for asking & sparking the thought process.Rettabughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974677657528087286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-8243812247195484422015-09-13T20:47:46.105-04:002015-09-13T20:47:46.105-04:00This is the nicest organizer I have seen!

She is legally blind and I am hoping this will help her be able to get around in her new retirement community. I am making this for a rollator (rolling walker with a seat) Have you made one for a rollator? I am thinking the side closest to her will have to be shorter than the other side or the seat will be in the way. I am trying to figure out how to stabilize it. Any thoughts?

I'm having knee replacement surgery in a few weeks and thought I'd make myself one of these for my walker. Of all of the caddies I've found on the internet, yours was BY FAR the nicest one! At the end of the blog entry, you mentioned that you might create a tutorial for this someday. Did that ever happen? Even if not, thank you for the inspiration. I'm having a hard time getting my head wrapped around this knee replacement idea (and then I'll have to do the other knee next year), so the idea of sewing something for my recovery helps me feel better about the whole thing. (And I ordered a PURPLE walker which is supposed to come this week.) Hey, why not?!!!<br /><br />-- SusanSusan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09961696131037121586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192933728957013758.post-44114309334203142692013-05-14T22:51:34.471-04:002013-05-14T22:51:34.471-04:00Rett, You are not only the sweetest sister, you ar...Rett, You are not only the sweetest sister, you are also the most talented!! I love these ideas. Sky diving -- that is hilarious. I'm really interested to hear about the pain meds. My husband had a hip replaced last February and he is better than new, like the bionic man. Skiing his usual race courses and biking 40+ miles/day on weekends. But I may need a knee, due to a serious injury way back in college days, followed by a skiing accident on the same knee. I understand they are much more complicated. Hope your sister feels better soon.
