Add Personality, Practicality, and a Bit of Fun
Mobility equipment is an essential part of daily life for many — but that doesn’t mean it has to look cold or clinical. In fact, a little personalisation can go a long way toward making your gear feel like yours. Whether you're looking to add a bit of flair, make your equipment easier to identify, or improve safety, here are some clever, creative, and practical ways to personalise your mobility aids.
✨ Add Reflective Stickers for Style and Safety
One of the easiest (and most functional) ways to personalise your wheelchair or walking aid? Stickers! Allied Medical offers Reflective Stickers that not only add a pop of personality but also improve visibility at night or in low-light environments. Perfect for those who are out and about — especially during early morning strolls or evening events. They’re also weather-resistant and designed to last!
🧳 Add a Luggage Tag — Genius for Shared Spaces
One of our favourite real-life user tips came from Sandra L who left a product review on the Premium 8" Heavy Duty Rollator: "A solid walker and perfect for my elderly Dad. We even put a name tag on it so it doesn’t get mistaken for someone else’s. Super fast delivery. Very impressive." - Thanks Sandra!
Simple, clever, and easy to attach, a luggage tag makes it super easy to identify your walker, rollator, or wheelchair in crowded spaces like hospitals, aged care facilities, or community events.
Pro Tip: Go for a tag with a waterproof window and consider adding an emergency contact number too.
🏷️Get Personalised Name Labels
Just like kids have on lunch boxes or backpacks, custom name labels are a great way to keep track of mobility aids — especially if they’re being used in group settings or care homes.
You can order custom waterproof labels online with your name (or a fun message) and stick them to:
- Wheelchairs
- Canes
- Walking frames
- Shower stools
- Bedside tables
This adds a personal touch while preventing mix-ups. If you're a label lover or perhaps work at a facility that manages equipment for multiple people, you may even want to consider purchasing a label maker such as the Cricut Machine.
🌟 Even More Ideas to Make It Yours
Want to take your personalisation to the next level? Here are some extra ways to make your walker, wheelchair, or cane truly stand out:
- Patterned spoke guards
- Spoke charms
- Fabric covers & cushion wraps
- Colourful bags or pouches that attach to your chair or frame
- Funky handle grips for walkers or canes
- Themed seasonal decorations (yes, we’ve seen festive tinsel on walkers!)
- Embroidery or Iron-On Patches
These little additions not only reflect your personality — they’re conversation starters too.
❤️ Why It Matters
Personalising your mobility equipment isn’t just about how it looks — it’s about how it feels. Adding your own touches makes mobility aids unique, easier to identify, and a reflection of you. It helps create comfort, builds confidence, and brings joy to everyday life. And if there are little ones in your life, personalising your equipment can be a lovely way to make it feel more playful and familiar to them too — helping them connect with it as just another part of the world they know and love.
🛒 Ready to Make It Yours?
Start with something simple — like our Reflective Stickers — or get creative with your own custom tag or label. Whatever your style, there’s a way to make your equipment feel a little more “you.”
