General most people liked the look of the CarChair.
In the Car the CarChair left very little space behind it for a nearside rear seat passenger.
Using it most found it easy. The CarChair was supportive, but some felt insecure as it swung into the car. You need to be able to move your trunk, neck and head and keep your balance while sitting. One of the CarChair’s levers was near your left leg and some people disliked their helpers reaching over to operate it.
Helpers helpers needed the use of both arms, reach, and moderate strength and dexterity.

Prices include fitting and should apply to most vehicles.
