Gait Belt for Seniors, Adjustable Medical Transfer Safety Belt with Handles, Quick Release Buckle, Durable Nylon Mobility Assist Gait Belts for Elderly, Disabled & Patient(31.5-54in, 250lbs)

Late stage M.S., can no-longer stand, I fall weekly while transferring. Now I keep my 'BRMDT handled-transfer-belt' within my reach to assist whomever in picking me up, awesome! Doctor office assistants are always delighted when I quickly put it on, to assist them in lifting me (98lbs) from my wheelchair up onto the exam table and off again. At home when I fall, I press my emergency-response-button, and the EMS arrive and are now amazed that I'm awaiting their arrival already with 6 grab-handles strapped around my waist. Now I feel I'm less of a burden, plus it lessens people touching me personally, and it certainly better protects their backs from injury while lifting me. It does take some adjusting to best fit and serve your needs, but after once or twice it is so very helpful and people always want to know where I got it, so I point to the "BRMDT" which is embroidered on it. My 81 yr old mother prefers it for helping getting me in and out of her car, on the rare occasion we go out to eat (I bought a lightweight 18lb wheelchair too, which she is greatful for...anything I can do to be less of a burden).

The belt is well made. It's nice and wide and supportive. We use it for our program for people with Parkinson’s Disease with balance issues. The handles are excellent-well placed and easy to grab when needed. The only issue we have is the clip can be difficult for them to close- But that being said, it's never come apart and seems to be strong.

I bought this for a gentleman that came to stay with us who is immobile, and I didn't want one of those gait belts with the buckle on it. Wanted something I could just snap together quickly. This belt has been great. When I can get him to wear it. The downside to the quick fasten/release is that he can get it off. Since he doesn't like to wear it, that happens all the time. Not the product's fault though.

Ive used this belt as a lift aid for me as well as I use it today 2 years later which is mostly used by my phys therapist as a gait belt when I ditch my walker. I dont know if Ive used it for help in and out of vehicles so cant speak to that but its sturdy and comfortable. Handles are well placed and secure. If you are looking for a utilitarian tool, this might be it. Im currently about 128lbs (down from like 138) and my waist is smaller but its adjustable by me no problem and easy for me to put on myself. Each therapist that has seen me wear it and used it themselves are impressed by it. My self-transfers and stability have greatly improved in 2 yrs and I attribute a lot of that to using this belt a lot early on and reducing its need over time. Ive never tried it but Im sure you could wear this around your chest, under your arms if you needed a lift that way after a fall and it would be comfy and secure during that time. This is way better than those standard gait belts that are made of a strip of cloth and have metal buckles that are hard to deal with without aid. Try it.

This is a great belt because of the multiple handles. It's strong and good quality. We've tried several and this one is very good.

Very sturdy and easy to remove and has sufficient handles BUT hard to adjust for woman's waist size of 34. Also the back of it over time (2 months) folds over and will not stay flat anymore.

Used on husband Works very well

I use this to hold my diabetic pump because sometimes I don't have enough room in my pockets.

Excellent product
