Heard of Fixperts? Come and look at what they do - and tell us what you think

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello. We've recently come across a pretty inspiring bunch of folks at an outfit called Fixperts.

They are design geeks who want to share the creative and social values of design as widely as possible - by sharing their ideas with folks who could do with a clever design solution to something that's making their life difficult.

And they make a little Fixperts film each time to show how it all works out.

So, in this film, for example, you can see how Fixperts helped a London cycle paramedic find a way to stow his intubation tube safely on his bike, and here you can see how Fixperts came up with an an ingenious way to help an elderly lady called Edna who was having difficulty putting on her socks.

So, what we want to know is, what do you think?

Do you like what Fixperts do? And if so, can you think of any design challenges in your life/another Mumsnetter's life that you'd like Fixperts to try to fix?

Please do share.

I"m thinking maybe velcro could be utilised in solving your knob problem, CMOT.

CMOT grating - I have reduced grip and use a box grater on a non slip grip mat that the OT gave me. It takes a knack but works for me. If this doesn't help have you tried an electric grater, which in theory should be easier but never tried one myself so can't vouch for it , have seen them for £10/15.

My food processor has a grater attachment, that's perfectly workable one-handed.
The double buggy board solution is a skateboard with a knotted rope drilled through the front, or two scooters.

Or a granny shopping trolley with the bag taken off and the buggy board attached.

I do use a box grater on a non slip mat, but have to try and hold it down with my elbow which hurts and is not v useful. I did have an electric grater, but it was rubbish. The food processor works, but it narks me to have to wash all that up for a tiny bit of cheese.

For people looking for wheelchair fixes, you can get a cupholder that fits down near the foot plate, my sister got one recently sure she just found it through amazon or a google search. For steps basically you need to tip on back wheels but the 'stops' on the back can stop you tipping far enough, these can be removed and turned other way up so they are out of the way and can be used to step down on to tip the wheelchair. Not sure I have explained this well but as my sister has had to resort to using hers permanently recently I am learning new stuff all the time!

Grate a load of cheese at once and keep it in the freezer to defrost as needed.

PLEASE will somwonw tell me how to make the video play? Pretty please?

RollingThunder - A Segway??!!

RollingThunder you need a suitcase trolley from a posh hotel with a nice gold cage round it.
