That is easier than a swivel seat or the boards and most comfortable!

Mom has a pad to place on chairs to reduce incontinence accidents staining seats. The backside of the pad is somewhat slippy and works well. I do need to make sure it is angled as it will slide with her bum as she pivots into the car.

I loved a suggestion you also mentioned in another video about transferring from a curb into the seat from a wheelchair. Would you by chance create a video of that. Attempting to transfer my 101 year mother into my tesla that is about 1-2 inches too high for her to just turn around and sit in the seat. Thanks

Is there a video that covers getting in and out if the client can't bend her leg?

What if your surgical leg has to go in first?
