Vive gel swivel seat cushion

MobilityMid-range

Safety level: Fall-safety / weight-bearing equipment. Check fit and installation; consider an OT or physio assessment.

Warning: Car transfer aid: check it fits your vehicle (door latch type, window frame or seat shape) and its weight limit before buying. Remove or stow it before driving so it can't shift, get in the way of the controls or the seat belt, or fly around in a crash. An OT can help you practise car transfers.

Who it helps

This may help people who find getting up, sitting down or moving between seats hard; and people who feel unsteady while walking or standing.

Check before buying

Needs at least 15 inches of flat seat; it won't turn well on deeply bucketed sports seats. It raises you by roughly 2 inches, so check head room and that the seat belt still sits low across your hips.
Check the weight capacity, dimensions and installation requirements on the manufacturer's page.
Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.

Limitations

This is safety equipment: a poor fit or installation can make things less safe, not more. An OT or physio can help you choose and set it up.
