Using Usual Things: "Bungee Cords instead of baby gates. I found that two substantial eye hooks screwed into the door frames with a bungee cord strung between them effectively kept Tom out of any room off limits. The baby gates actually created a hazard, in that they were too short for his height and he could fall over them. They were also a pain in the neck to open and shut for my access to my own space. The bungee cords allowed me to keep doors open throughout the house while securing his walk space. They also gave Tom a signal of resistance when his body touched on them, he never tried to get over or under them, and he was unable to figure out how to detach them.
I bought bungee cord by the yard at a local hardware store and tied them to clasps also bought in the same store. I could adjust length needed myself that way and it was actually cheaper to make my own then buy ready made"

Companion chairs
information from http://www.mobility-advisor.com/transport-wheelchair.html
Companion chairs,
three major factors to take into consideration.
Chair Weight: These chairs are usually made from lightweight aluminum or steel tubing. Make sure the chair you select is easy to lift, fold and move into and out of vehicles.
Comfort: Transport wheel chairs are not designed for all-day use. Even so, it is important to find one that is comfortable. The most common seat width is 19 inches; though, many models are available in 22 and 24 inch seat widths. A cushion or pad can be used to make the chair more comfortable.
Maximum Carry Weight: Many heavy-duty models have the ability to support up to 250 pounds. Always check weight capacity before making your purchase.

carrier current technology
Transmitters that use the electrical wiring in home or office and using carrier current technology. You can spot intercoms and monitors when the sending unit plug into the wall electrical socket. When the sending unit does not plug in, it is not a carrier current system.
Carrier current wireless audio intercoms are transmitter and receiver sets use home AC wiring. They get the power for the units from the outlet. They use the same electrical wiring as a antenna to transmit {on various radio frequencies} and receive the signals from one unit to another. This is why sometimes they don't talk to each other if they are plugged into different circuits. They don't pass though some plug strips and
The signals going out on electrical circuits {carrier current signals can be carried over great distances} can be picked up by anyone nearby who has a wireless idevice operating on the same frequency or anyone with a frequency scanner looking for that type of emission.
You might consider child or room monitors amount to self-installed bugs.
Intercoms and sensors that are battery operated or use transformer power adapters use radio signals sent through the air and not your electrical wiring.
