“I’m trying not to cry. Jansport has made an entire section on their website to buy bags that are designed for mobility devices,” Bre Rider said in her social media post.
. While Rider has grappled with POTS for a while, she recently learned it is more severe than she thought and has started using a walker and wheelchair.
The mobility devices makes life easier for her but using them has highlighted the problems with many backpacks. When adjusting the length of the backpack, the straps can become so long on the bag that they drag on the ground and can get tangled in wheels. She says with these bags that’s not an issue.
“There’s pockets at the top where I can real quick grab something easier than I would with a different backpack, which is great because I prefer being able to do a lot of stuff by myself,” Rider says. “I don’t want people to take care of me if I don’t need them to.” “It’s the small things like that that you don’t think about because it’s not something you see every day,” she says. “Not having a lot of accessibility in terms of items, it’s like either we don’t see it enough to know that this is necessary, or we were taught don’t ask people about their disabilities.”
