I'd like to preface this by saying I am a self-proclaimed lurker on this site who also just endured what to me, in my limited little world, would consider to be the worst three weeks of my life. Out of respect for those who have a confirmed dx of this terrible disease, I never did dare to start...
I will appreciate ANYTHING at this point. Thank you guys so much and I am truly sorry if this post comes off as ignorant or annoying or disrespectful to the people with ALS. But I have to get this off my chest! It's consuming my life really. I'm living a nightmare I feel.

We all need some way to secure our wheelchairs in our wheelchair conveyance (minivan, full sized van, etc.). For most of us, that seems to boil down to either a system that straps the wheelchair in (such as QStraint) or one that automatically locks the wheelchair in place (such as the EZlock)...
