verified ownerAbsolutely life changing. Since having the lapstacker, I haven't dropped a single thing, and have been able to carry all sorts on my knees! I use it for everything from gardening, shopping, cooking. Anything in day to day life. I'm a jeweller and it's been amazing to not worry about my tools, and silver, falling off my knees when I'm going from A-B. If you're a wheelchair user, you need this in your life. It really does make all the difference in the world and has been absolutely life changing!
The installation was so easy, everything came quickly and was beautifully packaged. Thank you lapstacker!!

verified ownerI'm delighted to have found this product. Fitted it yesterday and today have found 2 uses for it, holding my backpack on my lap around town (a bit more secure than just sitting on my lap) and I managed to cart a lap load of firewood over the small doorstep and into the fireplace without spreading it around the floor!!! Thank you Adaptdefy... what an amazing gadget! 52 years in a wheelchair and it's the best thing ever.

verified ownerI would definitely recommend the lapstacker to other wheelchair users. It doesn't matter whether the item you try to carry on your lap is large or small, it is likely to fall off if you have to brake suddenly, manoeuvre over a small obstacle or tackle uneven terrain. With the lapstacker, this is no longer an issue. I originally intended this mostly to transport a laptop in a bag, but it has so many more uses. Mike and Tim were incredibly helpful to get the right brackets for my wheelchair and their response to enquiries is very fast. My only regret is not buying the lapstacker sooner!

Common Questions
How much does a LapStacker® weigh?
The Lapstacker® weighs approx. 800 grams (1.76 lbs.). OR, put another way, about the weight of a small bunch of bananas.
Full details for all component dimensions and weights are available here
Will the LapStacker® work for quads/tetras?
The LapStacker® has finger loops to aid in pulling the straps over your lap. This is particularly useful for those with reduced hand function such as quadriplegics.
Also, the Buckles have a built in magnet that guides the two sides together so all you have to do is get them close and they’ll join like magic!
If for some reason it doesn’t work for your level of function you can send it back for a refund.
Is it easy to install?
The Lapstacker® has a detailed step by step installation guide and comes with the fasteners and allen keys necessary to install it yourself.
Think of it as a mini lego challenge, only useful. We’ve had some people say it was easy, and others say it took them a while to figure it out.
We’re here to help with advice if you need us, but think you’ll enjoy the satisfaction of working it out yourself.
Will insurance pay for a LapStacker®?
Both ACC (New Zealand) and NDIS (Australia) are funding LapStackers® for those covered under these insurance schemes. For more details on ACC funding click here
We suggest contacting your local wheelchair reseller, case manager or occupational therapist to request one. If you are able to submit receipts for reimbursement, then that could also be an option.
