What helps you get in and out of a car?

It depends on the difficulty. Grab handles help with balance, swivel seats turn to face the door so you do not have to twist, transfer plates bridge the gap from a wheelchair, and a powered side step lowers the climb into higher vehicles.

What is the best mobility aid for getting out of a car?

For most people it is a swivel seat or a grab handle. A swivel seat rotates towards the open door so you can come straight out rather than twisting, while a grab handle gives a firm point to push up from. Des Gosling assesses what works for you first.

Do car access aids work on any vehicle?

Most do. Grab handles, transfer plates and seat aids fit a wide range of cars and vans. A few aids, such as swivel seats, need a certain amount of door space, which is checked at the assessment.

Can car access aids be fitted through Motability?

Yes. Des Gosling is Motability accredited and fits access aids as part of Motability adaptations, as well as for private customers.

Compact Seat

Economic low built seat.

Compact Seat is a safe and economical alternative to other more feature rich car seats that is designed to blend in with the vehicle’s interior.

The optional Plus kit raises the front of the seat cushion which increases seating comfort and helps prevent users from sliding forward. We highly recommend this kit on all Compact Seat installations.

The Compact Seat is tested and approved according to M1 standards in combination with Turny and Turnout.

PLEASE NOTE! Compact Seat does NOT have a release catch that allows the backrest to fold forward.
