Excellent way to carry your purse or other light weight objects. Downside is if you travel by air you will need to remove this before you give the walker for gate check in as the chances of the hook being broken are very high as the plastic is not strong enough; that would require carrying a screwdriver which would never get through security. A solution to that would be a product that maybe this site would carry is called The Mommy Hook which is quickly removeable without tools BUT it is not as low profile and nice as the Handi Hook. So the two together would enable you to do air travel (that way you can take the Handi Hook off at home). The Handi-Hook is awesome regardless it is just you would need something else as a back up if you do air travel. I will show my mom and hope she likes it as much as I do so I can get her a pair of Handi Hooks.
