The construction of the leg rest carrier consists of a rigid layer of coroplast surrounded by a layer of foam on each side to provide a cost effective solution with structure. Two bands of webbing run the back of the carries allowing for maximum clearance between each wheel and adjustability for multiple wheelchairs. The addition of a grommet, or hole, adds the function of a drain and allows water to escape out of the bottom of the product.

After designing the Stow-And-Go wheelchair leg rest holder I walked away with a couple of insights. The first thing that I learned from working on the project was the importance of designing for accessibility. It was important for me to sit myself down in a chair and think about how the placement of the product would effect its usability. The second was to look at the wheelchair as a primary product that I was designing an accessory for. I used the silhouette of the wheel as an inspiration for the form of the leg rest carrier to create a cohesive product solution.
