Pick your brains please my lovelies

Does anyone know where I can buy a trolley for carting round my oxygen cylinder when I'm out and about? I've actually been out twice this week, becoming a girl-about-town!

Check your oxygen supplier. I have a trolley which can also be used as a bag which was supplied by the company who supply my oxygen.

Hiya 😊 what kind of oxygen cylinder do you have to take with you? You could use a Rollator there have space to carry your oxygen cylinder. I prefer to use the rucksack there supplied me with, because I have my hands free. But if I use my Rollator I can put my oxygen cylinder in there without problems. Hope you find what you looking for. Best wishes 🌺🌺🌺

Hi Kimlu l have an imagen 3 which is handbag size and wonderful when working. However when it is having a hissy fit l use a shopping trolly that has a seat on it which means l can stop and take a breather when l need it and as it is waterproof can be used in the rain a must have living in Scotland l bought it off Amazon x

Hello Kimlu I bought a children's trolley and had a friend make the handles solid in the up position.I have a oxygen concentrator I'm not sure it would work with a cylinder , much cheaper than the ones sold by the oxygen companies.Ragrug

Hi Ragrug? Don’t forget that the portable concentrators rely on fresh air going in (out too but not sure what that is) vents shouldn’t be blocked or restricted. I bought a fancy, rather expensive, shopping trolley to put mine in but was told to take it out by hospital! Joy x

Hi Joy

This is not a shopping trolley rather a kids homework trolley adapted to a concentrator trolley I will take a photo

I have a walking/shopping trolley with a seat. It was not designed to take my cylinder but we simply put two hooks on the handle and it works fine. Prestige about £99 online but try for a free one from your supplier first.

My trolley was supplied by my oxygen provider. Slim trolley with bag for the 02 or you can use the bag as a back pack. Jax🐶x

I use a lightwieght (aluminium frame) 2 wheel shopping trolley that is easy to manouvre, and can carry either some shopping as well as oxygen bottle or additional bottle when out visiting and needing more than the 1 1/2 hours that one bottle gives me

Ask the oxygen company but if not the backpack it’ll be a two wheeled job that they use in hospitals. Not very attractive or practical. Joy x
