These “Robots in Disguise” could transform on a whim, into a plethora of crazy and rather useful mechanical gadgets; from race cars and trucks, to C90 tape recorders (a rather antiquated concept for modern viewers!) – there has always been a curiosity to the show’s concept that appeals to those with dreams to one day transform themselves into something that is ultimately more powerful than their original self.

Rise of the Robots (er..on the Stairlifts)

Therefore, it will come as little surprise that brothers Jo and Oly Betteley of Southern Mobility took inspiration from the classic Transfomers cartoon for the latest promotional concept for their clothing line “Shattered Industries”. The Betteley brothers have been working enthusiastically to create their very own Transformer – “MediCop – Defender of the Aged”, constructed entirely from components of various types of mobility products, mainly otherwise-redundant disused MediTek stairlifts.

Jo and Oly chose to create their homage to Transformers as it would be instantly recognisable and easy to associate with, a novel idea that could incorporate their business interests in both their clothing line and their work for Southern Mobility; making great use of MediTek’s versatile stairlift parts that provide robust and easy-to-dismantle components perfect for creating a unique robot superhero costume!

We think it is pretty amazing. More images can be seen here.

The Active Hand does this for you and can unlock a whole host of tasks which you might thought would be far more difficult including working out in the gym and gardening.

Since the development of the original product, Rob has added to his range with a number of other products including:

Mini Aids – designed specifically with youngsters in mind. A brightly coloured adaptation of the original general purpose aid designed for under-5s.

Looped Exercise Aids – these allows for using a wider range of exercise machines specifically those with pull down bars and also rowing machines.

Outdoor Aid – ideal for gardening and winter sports such as skiing. Purposefully designed so you can wear a thick pair of gloves underneath.

The customers of the Active Hands Company pay testament to this with their great reviews including:

“It has opened up all new things for me at the gym – it’s hard to believe that something so simple can help somebody so much.”

 I therefore whole heartedly recommend the gripping aids by the active hands company as a possible means of living a better and fuller life!”

At Trabasack we love receiving feedback from our customers and delight in reading blog reviews. So far (!), always positive and often with helpful criticism that we can use to improve our products.

As a small company, we are unable to use mainstream advertising, we rely heavily on online sales and people talking about us on blogs and forums and social media, we really appreciate any reviews or feedback from bloggers. Having people talk about is and link back to us really, really helps!

Last week, we had a fantastic review from Danni Brennand who blogs at Dannillion.com.  We follow Danni on Twitter (@Dannilion) and she has had a Trabasack for quite some time. Danni’s blog focuses on her personal life and experiences and we were thrilled when our product featured in her post titled: Disability Products That Make My Life Easier.

In Danni’s post, our Trabasack Curve features along the innovative Hydrant drink bottle and the Litecup, another clever drinking receptacle. Here, Danni is pictured using her Trabasack as a bed tray and her review describes our product as ‘a brilliant idea’. She has particularly found it extremely useful since purchasing a tablet computer and its lightweight design means she is able to use it for long periods of time. Danni has used her Trabasack both at home and out and about, strapping it round her waist securely when out in her wheelchair. She comments on how spacious the bag area of the Trabasack and how it was able to hold all her daily essentials. As well as using it for typing and her tablet computer, she also uses her Trabasack for food and highlights the fact that because the Trabasack is so lightweight, she can manage it without support and in turn increases her independence. Danni comments on the ‘cool’ design of the Trabasack, setting it apart from traditional disability products and has even customised her to include her love of penguins.

Another great point covered in Danni’s review is her feedback regarding our customer service. We’re touched to read how Danni talks about @trabasack on Twitter and are really pleased that our customer service is considered top rate by one of our valued customers.

Thanks Danni for the wonderful review and we hope you continue to enjoy your Trabasack.

Disability can happen to anyone. When it happens to you or a relative, it is a mark of our civilised society that there is adequate support and help available. DLA is one of those essential supports, and the ‘Spartacus Report’ gives crucial information for the Government’s planned DLA reform.” Duncan Edwards, Director of Trabasack.

Today, a new report has been released which reveals in depth at how the Government has mislead and misinformed MPs and peers in regard to the hostility to disability benefit reform. The report finds shocking evidence to suggest that Parliament has only been given  part of the view of the huge opposition to the Coalition’s planned reforms to Disability Living Allowance. These planned changes are likely to make life difficult if not impossible for thousands and this report is attempting to show the country how opposed the UK is to these changes and finds that this opposition has never before been released to the public by the Government.

The report was put together by a team of disabled individuals and their support networks, including all research, production and funding of the project. Its findings show how disabled people have been misrepresented by the Government. At Trabasack; we are strong supporters of its cause and believe everybody should have access to the report. There are some really shocking statistics included within the report, which we hope will be widely seen by the publicity generated around the launch of the report. We hope this knowledge becomes widespread across the country and everybody is made aware of its findings. Based on responses to the Government’s own consultation on its plans to reform Disability Living Allowance, the report is using data which the Coalition has kept under wraps.

Today on the day of the launch (9 Jan 2012), everybody involved and in support of the report are hoping to make as big an impact as possible, to wake people up and listen to the extent of Coalition Government’s misrepresentation and prejudice it is supporting and perpetuating. To get involved, please read the report and share it as widely as you can across your networks. If you use twitter, make sure you tweets include the hashtag #spartacusreport and crucially tweet the phrase ‘I support the #spartacusreport’.

Access to the official report by clicking this link: Responsible Reform and there is also a link to the press release written for it. This is an extremely important development in the fight to protect the people in our society who are sick and disabled and the louder we are, the harder we become to ignore.

You heard it here first; the Trabasack Curve is one of the top ten Wheelchair Extras in the influential Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation Xmas Gift Guide. We’re absolutely thrilled to be considered one of the best wheelchair accessories around and thank the foundation for including us in the list.

The Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation is an American charity which is dedicated to finding treatment for spinal cord injuries and related neurological disorders, with the eventual aim of finding a cure for such conditions. The foundation itself is named after renowned American actor and director, Christopher Reeve. Most famous for his role as ‘Superman’, he had a riding accident in May 1995 that led to him becoming tetraplegic (called quadriplegic in the US). He led high profile campaigns and fund raising for SCI (Spinal Cord Injury) awareness and treatments for the rest of his life with his wife Dana. His efforts were greatly appreciated and his progress and treatments were closely followed by the SCI community across the globe.

Dana has fronted the organisation since his death in 2004 and continues his work.  Currently, Reeve’s son Matthew and daughter Alexandra also sit on the board of directors.

The 2011 Gift Guide for Individuals Living with Paralysis is a highly respected and recommended brochure which can help alleviate

some of the stresses involved with shopping. The guide catalogues some of the best products available across a whole number of categories for people living with spinal cord injuries and once again, we are extremely proud that Trabasack features in the list.

The Gift Guide describes the Trabasack Curve as:

“… perfect for the traveler. With a removable bean bag insert on one side and a tray on the other, this bag is curved to snuggle right up to you as you work.”

We definitely agree, the Trabasack Curve is a great Christmas gift and we’re glad that the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation agree.

We are grateful to trabasaxon  @weebles1703 from twitter who saw us featured on the Reeve Foundation site, and tweeted:

If you need to take medicines or use medical devices regularly, you will know the need for being organised and having everything at hand when you want it. When travelling or outside the home it can often be difficult to find a clean, firm surface for organising your meds. Public areas can be very unclean and finding a small personal space to work in can be awkward.

A bag and personal space for medical equipment

All your medicines need to be kept in a specific place (as described on the labelling) and you probably have a very personal system for keeping on top of it all. We at Trabasack believe our versatile lap tray and bag could make the whole process a lot easier. You can use Trabasack as a medicine tray and also utilise the bag compartment for storing all your medication and related paraphernalia.

Bag for disability equipment.

The bag compartment is ideal for storing medication and other equipment. Use it for: Splints, disability equipment, pills, syringes or emergency meds. The Trabasack surface is both flat and can be wiped clean as well as being easily washed. If you need to keep special cutlery,  cups or water bottles, you can keep them handy inside. Catheters and other personal toileting equipment can be kept discretely in the zipped up pocket inside. You’re bound to feel much more comfortable, knowing that everything is easily at hand on your lap but also discretely out of view and securely zipped away.

Medicine tray.

Use the tray top to help you when you need to take your medicines.

The Trabasack tray surface is ideal for preparing medicines or perhaps any regular tests you may need to do for example diabetes blood sugar testing. The Trabasack surface is both level and can be wiped clean as well as being easily washing thoroughly in the washing machine when necessary. It’s also really useful to be safe in the knowledge that you have a clean level medicine tray for preparing your medication wherever you may be. Public places can be unsanitary but with trabasack you know you have your own personal and clean space to prepare your medicines.

The Trabasack bag compartment is also really useful for keeping in all your medical equipment, prescription information, notebooks for recording test results or dosages and anything else you might need. It’s also a great place to keep a clear and concise copy of your diagnoses in case of emergency so the right procedures can be followed, never hurts to be organised!

Trabasack has a huge array of uses and it is definitely a fantastic choice as a medicine tray and bag for storing all your medical equipment.

As winter is upon us and Christmas is literally just around the corner, it’s probably time to start making preparations for the holidays. Whether you go and visit relatives or have the whole family around your house, you will soon realise how your Trabasack can make the whole Christmas period much more smooth and less hectic or difficult, not to mention warmer!

Let’s think ahead to Christmas and how your Trabasack will become your best friend! When visiting relatives you don’t have to worry about sitting away from the family or friends because your chair doesn’t fit under the dining table, just pull out your Trabasack and eat your dinner in the company of others without feeling too far from the table, out on a limb or uncomfortable!

With your Trabasack you can bag the TV remote and keep it safe from those who might be fixated on the soaps!

Your Trabasack is also a great place to store handy essentials when visiting relatives and also a great place to stuff all your Christmas cracker prizes (because you really needed ANOTHER miniature sewing kit)!

Hide the hot water bottle and flask inside, tea or something stronger!

Your Trabasack is also a great source of warmth over the winter period and it really does become your own portable winter warmer. Many people say that the beanbag being on their lap helps to keep their legs warm in the cold. You can even go one step further and pop a hot water bottle inside and keep extra warm whilst you’re out and about. Or why not include a hot flask of warm tea or soup, so you can enjoy a comforting hot drink when you’re out Christmas shopping without having to join the endless queues in one of the coffee shops! Send us a pic of you doing just that for a free T-shirt!

Of course, the final and most important winter function of a Trabasack is as a present for others! I don’t know anybody who wouldn’t be pleased with their very own portable lap tray and bag and if you’re already an owner you probably have a list of friends who have already admired yours!

Recommended by SIA magazine contributers

Trabasack was featured in the ‘Gadgets, Gizmos and Bright ideas section’ of the December 2011 issue of Forward “for thinking people with spinal cord injury“. Under the title ‘Innovative ideas contributed by SIA members’ It reads:

Trabasack is a stylish bag that is also a very practical laptray. Designed by Clare Edwards (c5/6) who was fed up with being unable to get to a table for food and drink, it is now selling worldwide was being championed by some SIA members at the recent AGM! It has a small light weight beanbag cushion inside it so that it rests comfortably on the lap and a firm tray surface for food, drinks, gadgets or laptops.

Clare has made it easy to use by including ring pull zips, grab handles and a range of strap options for carrying or keeping it attached on your lap as you move around. Having won design and style awards, and being a fairly low cost item, it makes a really useful xmas gift.

So if you are looking for the perfect gift idea, why not give them a great gift and get them a winter warming Trabasack?

If you’re a wheelchair user then you there has probably been many occasions when you have had trouble finding a suitable table whilst out. You appreciate that you may not always be able to get your legs under a low table or find an accessible space to eat.

There are many times you might just want to stop for a snack or a hot drink but it becomes difficult in areas where there aren’t places where they have though about the needs of wheelchair users. With a Trabasack you won’t have to encounter this problem again!

What’s a Trabasack?

A Trabasack is a new design created by a wheelchair user. It is a versatile wheelchair lap tray which has the additional bonus of a bag to carry your possesions. A smart and practical new invention, Trabasack combines a handy travel bag with a bean bag lap tray which means you can eat on the go wherever you are with reaching or stretching over unsuitable tables.

Trabasack is extremely easy to carry, sleek and created to fit the contours of your waist. It is adaptable with a choice of straps so that it fits to you rather that your chair. So because all wheelchairs are so different and you don’t need to worry about it being unsuitable with your particular chair.

Whenever you’re out and about and you fancy a drink or a sandwich, you can simply stop and conveniently use your lap tray to have your lunch or snack, no need to worry about finding a picnic area or food court. It’s a really great accessory for modern living.

Highly Recommended Lap Tray
