Why we know this works!

We love this car transfer slide sheet because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we hear caregivers describe the car door as the hardest doorway of the week. How do you get someone with stiff hips or weak legs into a car without wrenching your back? You reduce the friction instead of pulling harder: lay this tubular low-friction sheet on the car seat, have your loved one sit down first, then let them glide back and turn to face forward with far less effort from both of you. At 28 by 28 inches, it stores in the glove box, machine washes clean, and works just as well for repositioning in bed. It is especially helpful for people with Parkinson's stiffness, arthritis, or weakness after a stroke or surgery who can sit but get stuck turning on the seat. If your loved one cannot bear weight through their legs to reach the seat edge, use a Beasy Transfer Board instead and watch our Video Training: Car Transfers before trying it alone.
