My mum has PD approx 15st and 86 years old. I have been unable to take my mum out since she started needing the stand aid for transfer due to the wide door threshold of my car, she is unable to get her bottom far enough back into to seat whilst holding the stand aid to steady her. Has anyone else had this problem? Or do you know of a smallish car with a narrow door threshold. I have a dacia sandero at present.
There is also a gadget that fits into the door closing loop that will assist. Have not tried that yet but it helps if there is a pull handle in the roof then I can lift myself into position. There are also swivle disks that you put on the seat then the person can sit on that and push themselves into position. Don't know how they work
