In reply to Juliana J Tilden. If I can get him to cooperate it goes inside and under the straps. He is getting older though so sometimes we just tuck it behind as best we can and call it good! Pre-teens, am I right?

I noticed that your son in the picture has a chest strap like my son does in his chair. My son uses a butterfly strap. Where does the coat go in the back? Outside the chair or inside around the straps? Could you show a picture?
Thanks,
Juliana

In reply to Natalie N. We use them to close the edges of the jacket together. But having them attach to the chair is a GREAT idea!!!

Just a quick question: are the magnets meant to fasten the jacket edges together, or are they meant to magnetically attach to the back of the wheelchair?

I am an Occupational Therapist and I regularly recommend a similar idea to my wheelchair using clients. It makes life so much easier.
