Hands Free Umbrella Holder BRELLA BAG: A Mobility Enhancer for the Elderly and Physically Challenged

We are an aging society. As the elderly population grows so does the need to make sure they have a healthy and comfortable life style. Nothing is more depressing than to lose one's mobility and strengths to do jobs that were a breeze only a couple of years ago. All societies are judged by how they take care of their elderly, infirm and physically challenged segments of their population.
We have come a long way from an era when the cane was the solitary accessory to support the elderly and physically challenged. Advances in technology and introductions of lifts, chairs, motor chairs and a broad array of mobility products has resulted in vast improvement in the mobility of this population and as a happen a much better quality of life. Emotionally and psychologically it means a great deal to be independent and mobile.

Innovation, technology and entrepreneurship in US continue to make it achievable to improve the quality of life for completely with our elderly and physically challenged population. One such, simple but very effective innovation comes from a single MOM with two kids who found a solution to the inconvenience of having to hold an umbrella while carrying her child and plethora of items, groceries, shopping bags, purse and more.

With simple genius she came up with a terrific solution that, as it turns out, is a very effective enhancer of mobility and functionality in the elderly and the physically challenged. The solution, a bag that is an umbrella holder and aptly named as Brella Bag. This Brella Bag is a patented bag designed to hold an umbrella while at the same time allowing the user free use of his/her hands to carry different items or just relax them. Brella Bag is not only an umbrella holder; it is a bag to conveniently carry your important items e.g. cell phone, keys and wallet.

For the elderly and disabled, walking with an umbrella neatly tucked in the Brella Bag makes their walks all the more enjoyable with their hands free. If they are shopping or coming back house they able to carry their belongings with both their hands. For physically challenged using the Brella Bag gives them the ability to steer their wheelchair or scooter or push a walker. They could walk with a cane or on crutches while their umbrella solidly tucked into Brella Bag is protecting them from rain and shine with little extra effort from them.

The unique umbrella holder the Brella Bag has been designed and crafted with care and thought. It is light weight, made of nylon, yet strong enough to hold most sizes of umbrellas steady even in windy conditions. A sturdy pouch on the bag holds an umbrella so that the user's hands are free. The pouch has a snap so that an umbrella with a shorter handle could be safely tucked and used. The front straps are adjustable and it is easy to slip on and very comfortable to wear. As a bonus the bag is large enough to comfortably accommodate your essential items such as wallet, cell phone, keys, a book and other such things. It is large enough to even carry a bottle of water, a snack and such other items. For More information and details on this valuable invention and how to get one you can visit www.brellabag.com.
