How to Safely Use Mimi Wheelchair Blankets

• Secure the Blanket: Ensure the blanket is properly fastened using the provided straps or fasteners to keep it in place and prevent it from slipping into the wheels.
• Keep Blanket Opening Clear from Headrest: Do not fit blanket head opening over the headrest of a wheelchair user as this can result in risk of choking. Place the back of the blanket between head and headrest.
• Avoid Excess Length: Use a blanket size appropriate for the wheelchair to avoid excess fabric that could drag on the ground or get caught in moving parts.
• Keep Wheels Clear: Make sure the blanket does not cover or interfere with the wheels, brakes, or footrests of the wheelchair.
• Avoid Obstructions: Ensure the blanket is worn as intended and does not obstruct the user's vision, breathing, or movement.
• Supervise Use: Always supervise the use of blankets for babies or individuals with limited mobility to ensure they are worn safely.
• Only Fit Head into Blanket Opening: Only fit head into the blanket opening and ensure there is plenty of room around the neck.
• Check for Proper Fit: Adjust the blanket snugly around the user for comfort and warmth without restricting movement or circulation.
• Monitor Temperature: Regularly check the user’s comfort level to ensure they are not too hot or cold, especially in changing weather conditions.
• Inspect Regularly: Periodically check the blanket for signs of wear, such as fraying edges or loose fasteners, and replace if necessary.
• Avoid Covering Controls: Ensure the blanket does not block access to wheelchair controls or electronic devices.
• Follow Care Instructions: Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cleaning and maintenance to ensure the fabric remains in safe, optimal condition.
• Avoid Proximity to Heat Sources: Keep the blanket away from open flames, heaters, or any high-temperature sources to reduce any risk of catching fire or melting.
• Supervise in High-Risk Areas: Always supervise the use of the blanket in environments where fire hazards are present, such as near candles or stoves.
• Ensure Safe Use with Mobility Aids: Make sure the blanket is securely fastened to the wheelchair, stroller, or other mobility aids to prevent it from dragging or coming into contact with hot surfaces.
