If you are relying on a wheelchair to move about, you will need to bring it along during your road trip. Medicaid transportation is available for you to take advantage of. But, you can also make use of the following tips to bring your wheelchair along in your family’s car.
- Store it in the car’s trunk.
Do you still have enough space in the luggage compartment of the car? Fold the wheelchair and store it there. This can work if you don’t have a lot of luggage or the compartment is large enough to fit your wheelchair.
- Use a mounting rack.
A mounting rack allows you to attach your wheelchair to the bumper of the vehicle. When using one, make sure that the rack is securely attached to keep the wheelchair from falling off.
- Use an automatic wheelchair carrier.
You can also invest in an automatic wheelchair carrier and install it in your car. It usually has an automatic ramp that makes it easy to lower or raise the wheelchair onto the vehicle for transport.
