A travel restricting device for use with a wheelchair of the type having a frame, a seat attached to the frame and wheels mounted for rotation on opposite sides of the frame. The device includes arms having longitudinally opposing outer ends, and hooks at the outer ends of the arms for engaging the wheels. The arms can be extended to move the hooks away from each other or retracted to move the hooks toward each other. A spring biasing the arms toward a retracted position secures the hooks in the wheels such that the device is supported by the wheels for movement with the wheels. The device as secured to the wheels engages the frame upon rotation of the wheels in a first direction for restricting travel of the wheelchair in the first direction and engages the surface supporting the wheelchair upon rotation of the wheels in a second direction for restricting travel of the wheelchair in a second direction.
