They do sell accessories for walkers - like food trays and cup holders, and even big pockets for things like magazines, tablets, and cell phones. Do a search, also check tag sales and flea markets. Sometimes the maker of your specific walker has accessories custom designed to fit their model.
I prefer a rollator - a walker with a seat - but they take up more space when you have to fold them up to put them in your car. Luckily, I have an SUV with a hatch.

shorter lines? that's worth it right there!
i wouldn't go attaching tooooo many things. it still needs to be folded for portability and whatnot, and you never know, some obsessed star wars fanatic might try snatching it from you
my FIL's old HS buddy is using one now and they were trying to think of ways to add a basket in front so he could put his coffee cup and other stuff in there while he walked around his home. they had attached a wire bicycle basket at first, outfitted with a cup holder, but soon realized that wasn't good because if he put a cup and a book or anything of weight it made the walker tip forward!
any added weight on the walker hampers mobility, i'm sure. best to keep it lightweight and easy to lift/move. thing ultra-light. altho i would be funny to see a walker outfitted with little white wings down near the front wheels, like hermes.
Griz is gonna make me a fabric thingy with pockets, I’m deciding on fabric. I can sew, but she’s better at it than me. So I don’t also have to carry a purse. Of course, there has to be the ubiquitous tarot pocket, & a pocket inside for $$ (small) & those all-important cards. Yeah, the foldability is an issue. My grandson now wants one.

lol about your grandson... hot wheels? meet
hot walkers!
griz’s sewn pocket thingy sounds very cool. soft construction is the way to go — with velcro and other forms of attachment it can be easily secured, or removed for washing (and swapping out according to the seasons, haha.)...
