Hello. Looking for a hospital tray table on wheels and asking for recommendations. I’m not looking for one that slides under a bed, I’m looking for one that goes over/under a recliner chair. The bedside tables that slide under a bed don’t slide over/under a recliner because the recliner base is in the way. Do you have any recommendations of products that can function as a tray table over a recliner chair? Thank you so much!

We purchased one from Amazon that’s working great for us. My husband has a lift recliner and the base of the chair is about 2”” too short for us to fit the base of the tray table under it but perhaps your recliner’s base is higher. My husband has a tray that is attached to his walker that he prefers to eat from and the rolling tray table stays positioned on one side of his recliner to hold his other essentials

My parents had these. They're very good in several ways. Firstly, the parts are replaceable free of charge by Stander. Secondly, they're heavy duty and have a cup holder.

The not-so-great aspects are that the heavy bases move away from under the recliner frequently and must be maneuvered back in place. Since they have a handle on top for the elder to hang onto, that means the equipment must stay sturdy at all times.

If the elder is not cognitively alert, they'd keep pressing the button on the remote to move the chair further back to a sleeping or reclined position, not realizing the tray is in the way. This causes the tray to literally crack in half. Yes, I've replaced a few trays with Stander over the years. And holes in the wall from mom insisting she wanted to recline past the wall. 😑

All in all a good product if you realize the downsides.

This might work:
Search Amazon for "Overbed Table with Wheels Laptop Desk Cart Table Over The Bed Table Adjustable Height and Length for Hospital and Home use"
There are a few good options.

You can search online under mobility aids and serving tray tables. There are some basket trays that are available from the company Medco, amazon has a few options, a lot depends on the shape and size of the recliner. You can also search your local hardware store or medical equipment stores. Walmart has had some selections in the past. Costco has had some options but that varies. Hope that gives you some places to start. You can also check with your local doctor or department of aging for slightly used or rentals that may be available if your looking for short term options. Some home health care companies also provide home assessments by therapists to determine durable medical equipment needs. Hope you find this information helpful in your search.

They are often found in durable medical equipment places, so you can look that up online. Pay careful attention to the measurements and measure each chair and bed it has to go under or above.
