I had surgery on my leg, rendering the leg swollen, painful and useless, and there's nothing I can do for months until the healing is completed. The problem is that I was incapable of getting out of a car, no matter what I did (and no, I'm not fat - well, my leg is. It feels like I've got a side of beef tied to the trunk of my body.)

I was trapped in my house until I did some research and bought two items: the Duro-Med swivel seat and the standers handy bar, both from Amazon. The swivel seat works like a dream. It makes it very easy to swing in and out of the car seat. The handy bar is a device that latches onto the metal loop on the car door frame. It provides an excellent way of pushing yourself off the car seat (just do a search and you can find it on amazon.)

Between these two devices, I'm mobile again! I recommend both of them highly if you're looking for a way to get in and out of a car without using a belt and a fork lift!

Handy, can also be used on the seat of a dining room chair.
So it is easier to sit down and get up and around from sitting at the table.

An awesome seat cusion that gets the job of turning around easy and gentle. A must for people with backache or stiffness.

Well constructed and did the job. Made getting Mom in and out of the car much simpler.

I use the swivel seat in my car. It does help some, but not as much as I had hoped that it would. You have to enter your car by sitting sideways, but then you still have to try to get your legs and feet into the car after turning the small amount that you can on the swivel seat.

The swivel seat arrived on time, and is, for the most part, what the manufacturer has promised. I find it a little too hard to sit on, and to use it in the car, one has to be a rather short person or have a very tall car. I am apparently too tall, because it brings me up right under the roof of the car, which is not comfortable, plus there was no room for my knees under the steering wheel. I very recently had back surgery, so this was my main purpose for buing the seat, to make it easier to get in and out of the car. Now I use it on a dining room chair by the table.

The seat works fine. I have stopped using it as there is not enough padding for my back side not to complain about the dicomfort of sitting on this for any period of time. I like the way it helps me sit higher but the pain (and that is the correct term)keeps me from using it at all. If I fold a towel over it, then I am sitting too high so I will give it away to someone with more fat down there than I have.

Using this cushon as a passenger is great. Using it as the driver is not what I expected. Since most cars have bucket-styled seats, the cushion slips from place. I'm constantly readjusting it and when I find the right spot it only lasts until I get out of the car. The cushioning is minimal making it too hard for long trips.

I ended up returning this item. It does swivel, but the round shape does not fit your bottom well while sitting in the car. It just plain was not comfortable.

Wish I had not bought it. Hard and uncomfortable. There have to be better products out there. Don't bother with this one.
