The Rear/Front anti Tippers can help to prevent wheelchairs from tipping frontwards or backwards. These can be adjusted for up to 10 inches and has a 2 inch wheel diameter that provides easy gliding. Be sure to check that the mounting will style allows the user to transfer the units between various makes and models and allows you to change the height and position as necessary. The cost of these ranges from $49.00 – $75.00.
I thought of these because I had a student in a wheelchair this past year and she switched to a wheelchair that was smaller and it has a pair of rear tippers on the back. Those rear tippers came in very handy because she carried her book bag and her crutches on the back and it would tip backward and the teachers would forget about the tippers and make a grab for the wheelchair. So these are very handy to have installed.
