Circular swivel cushion
What is a swivel cushion?
A swivel cushion fits on your car seat and turns so that you can easily swing your legs into and out of the car.
Lightweight and easy to use, you could take this with you in other modes of transport.
If you find yourself stuck without your swivel cushion, slide a plastic carrier bag under your bottom. The slippery surface of the bag does a similar job as the cushion and is easy to keep in your bag for when you need it.
A swivel cushion is useful if you lack flexibility or strength, find it difficult to get out of the car, or you suffer from pain, or fatigue.
