Vehicle seating
This section includes seating equipment suitable for vehicle use.
Seat cushions can be placed on the car seat to provide additional support.
Swivel seat and cushions provide an addition to, or completely replace, the front passenger or driver's seat of a vehicle to facilitate transfers to and from the car.
Seats and backrests replace an existing car seat to provide increased support to the user.
Adjustable seats may be repositioned within the car by fitting an additional adjustable mechanism or by replacing an existing car seat. Adjustment mechanisms may provide adjustment to the seat height or position within the car.
Removable car seats are designed for children who require additional support. They are anchored into a vehicle like standard car seats. Some may have a swivel mechanism and/or a backrest which can be tilted back.
Car seat lift units are situated on the door side of the car seat and can be used to assist a person to stand up from, and sit down onto the car seat. Some attendant propelled wheelchairs have an integral facility for transfer into a driver or passenger seat of a motor vehicle.
Please note that the use of an unsecured cushion increases the chance of the user being hurt in an accident.
