A walking frame is often seen as a straightforward piece of mobility equipment — a stable aid to help with balance and support. But with a bit of creativity, it can become much more than that. The right accessories can transform a walking frame from a basic support tool into a personalised companion that makes daily routines easier, safer, and more enjoyable.
Small changes, like adding a tray, a carry bag, or even a phone case, can remove the need to juggle items or rely on others for help. These modifications aren’t about luxury — they’re about independence, convenience, and maintaining confidence while moving around.
Quokka bags: secure storage on the move
One of the most common frustrations for people using walking frames is carrying personal belongings. Pockets can be hard to reach, and holding items in your hands can affect balance. Quokka bags are designed to solve this problem with various durable, easy-to-attach storage options.

The Quokka Horizontal BagThe Quokka Horizontal Bag is wide and compact, ideal for everyday items like glasses, a wallet, or a small book. Its rectangular design makes it easy to open and organise contents without rummaging. This design has a quick-release clamp system that clamps to your walker so it can be locked in place or removed easily. |
The Quokka Small BagThe Quokka Small Bag provides a lightweight and discreet solution for those who only want to carry the essentials. It’s perfect for quick trips where you just need your keys, phone, or a card. This product features an easy-open ring pull and a handy carry strap. |

The Quokka Smartphone CaseThe Quokka Smartphone Case is another thoughtful option. Designed to keep your phone close at hand, it protects your device while making it easily accessible for calls, messages, or emergencies. This provides peace of mind for many people, knowing they won’t struggle to reach their phone if needed. |
The Quokka Vertical BagThe Quokka Vertical Bag offers extra depth, making it a practical choice for carrying taller items such as a water bottle or medication containers. Its upright shape keeps belongings secure without tipping or spilling. |
Note: these products require an adaptor (sold separately). See the Quokka Adaptor for Straight Frames and the Quokka Adaptor for Angled Frames.
Net bags: a flexible everyday carry option
While Quokka bags offer zippered security, sometimes a simpler option is best. The net bag is lightweight, spacious, and stretches to accommodate different items.
Many people find it especially useful for grocery shopping, as the open mesh design allows you to carry produce, bread, or clothing without adding much weight to the frame. Because you can see what’s inside at a glance, keeping track of what you’re carrying is also easier.
The netting folds flat when not in use, so it doesn’t get in the way if you prefer to keep your frame clear for walking.
Cup holders: keeping drinks safe and hands free
One of the trickiest tasks with a walking frame is carrying a drink from one place to another. Trying to balance a mug or bottle while steering the frame can be unsafe.
The Quokka Cup Holder is a simple solution that clips onto the frame and keeps beverages secure. It’s designed to hold both hot and cold drinks, so you can move around without spilling your morning tea or a bottle of water.
For many users, this small addition makes a big difference in maintaining independence — you no longer have to rely on someone else to bring you a drink, and you can stay hydrated throughout the day.
Walking frame trays: a portable surface for daily tasks
Carrying plates, bowls, or multiple items simultaneously can be almost impossible without help. A walking frame tray changes that by providing a stable, flat surface that fits securely on top of your frame.
The tray is strong enough to hold meals and includes an integrated cup holder, making it useful for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Instead of making several trips between the kitchen and dining area, you can transport everything in one go. It also doubles as a handy surface for reading, knitting, or doing puzzles while seated.
Unlike balancing items on the frame, the tray is designed to stay level, reducing the risk of spills or accidents. For many, it becomes one of the most valuable accessories for day-to-day living.
The everyday difference accessories can make
The beauty of walking frame accessories is that they turn a standard mobility aid into something personalised. A person who loves gardening might use a net bag to carry tools, while someone else might rely on a tray to enjoy meals more independently. Meanwhile, Quokka bags keep essentials secure and easily accessible, and cup holders and phone cases reduce daily frustrations.
Each modification is small in itself, but together they can reduce reliance on others, improve safety, and make life feel less restricted. These aren’t luxury add-ons — they’re practical solutions designed to restore confidence and independence in daily living.
Small changes can make a big difference. By choosing the accessories that fit your lifestyle, you can transform your walking frame into a more versatile and supportive companion. Browse our collection of walking frame accessories online now!
