Kickas.org Forums Ankylosing Spondylitis General Discussion Helpful Tips Swivel Cushion for Car seats

Thought I'd pass this along as another source for the Swivel Cushion for car seats...

I purchased one for my Mother, who is in the advanced stages of Alzheimers and no longer can walk, to ease the transfer from wheel chair to car seat... I can no longer do that with her but after reading past posts, I realized what a great aid I have right in the closet. Anyway my point of this post is to advise those interested that you can also order them at http://www.drleonards.com for only $19.99 plus shipping.

I hope this helps someone save a few dollars.

Joan

Several months ago, this was discussed and I think someone mentioned putting a dry cleaning bag or maybe a garbage bag on the car seat and it would allow you to "swivel"
easy and CHEAP!

Darla......here is the post I think you are referring to....hope this reposting is helpful:


Saw your post and I thought back to a site that I once found in my www travels which had an idea that you might find useful......it had to do with a device for helping with the twisiting motion while getting into the car.....it also keeps your clothes from getting twisted in the process too!!!!!....and the materials are virtually universal....got to like that....LOL....here it is:

"ROTATING CARSEAT. I always place a partially-folded, smooth, new garbage bag on my seat before getting into a van, car or taxi. I sit on the side of the carseat and then turn -smoothly and without rumpling my clothing - to face front. My son says I've made a "mechanical bearing." Replacements cost little!

I, too, have used the garbage bag "swivel" to get into a vehicle. It works quite well, actually. However, my larger problem is actually getting in through the door. I have a long torso, so I have to really back in quite a bit and then twist around a bunch. The bag actually makes it easier. However, I don't always have one in my back pocket, so when going in another person's vehicle, I play "Twister" to get in. Anyone else have the problem with a long torso and not able to bend enough to get in "normally"?

Shalom,
Jeff
