| The WeatherBreaker™
is a canopy that attaches to wheelchairs or scooters to protect you from
the sun and rain. It's great for getting to and from work, daily
errands, waiting at the bus stop ... whenever you need it! Select form
three different models and four colors. |
|
Does it fit any wheelchair or scooter? Yes. The
canopy itself is generic, but the mounting kit will vary slightly
depending on the make and model of your wheelchair or scooter.
When you order, be sure to include the make and model of your wheelchair
or scooter in the "Comments" section of the order form. Also
indicate "Pediatric" or "Adult" size. When you receive your canopy, it will include all the
parts that you need to mount it to your vehicle. |
|
How does it attach to my wheelchair/scooter? It will
take you approximately 15-20 minutes to attach the 2 mounting poles to
your wheelchair/scooter. These are black poles approximately
8" tall and less than an inch in width so they will not interfere
with the normal operation of your wheelchair/scooter. Once the
mounting poles are attached, then the canopy slips in and out. |
|
What are the different choices of canopy models? The Base
Model is made of solid fabric and is less expensive. The Vented
Model is similar, however, it has mesh material on the sides and
back instead of solid fabric. The Vented Model is more popular
because it provides more ventilation for heat protection while still
sufficiently protecting from sunlight and rain. The Max
Protection Model is the same as the Vented Model, however you also
receive plastic drapes that cover your sides from canopy top to seat
bottom to give you maximum protection. The plastic drapes slip
over your canopy and are easily removable. |
|
It is easy to use and store? Yes. After slipping it off
of your vehicle, you can leave it fully assembled. If you need to
store it in a smaller space or take it with you , you can take 20-30
seconds to disassemble the frame (5 interlocking pieces) and put it back
in it's stuff sack (included). The stuff sack can then be put away, or
hung behind your wheelchair/scooter to take it with you. |
|
Will insurance pay for a canopy? If you have a condition
that is worsened by heat, sunlight, or sun rays, OR if you take a
photosensitive medication (i.e. most antibiotics, seizure control
medications, etc.) then speak with your doctor, therapist, or case
worker to see if the WeatherBreaker is recommended.
