Getting out of the car

Category: Tips and Tricks

Getting out of the passenger side of a car can be difficult when one is off meds or moving slowly. A good first step is to try and end up sideways in the car seat with your knees pointing out of the car door rather than pointing forward. To assist in rotating on the seat some find it handy to leave a plastic garbage bag on the seat prior to sitting down. The plastic bag on the seat makes it very easy to swivel in place and get in position to make the next move of pulling yourself or getting an assist to step up and out of the car.

Comments:

Some pharmacy supply stores have a circular disc which swivels, and which you can place on your car seat. The trick is to remember that you own this, and to take it with you when you travel in others' cars!

There is an aid, "Handybar 3 in 1 Car Aid," that can be used to aide entering and exiting the car, and it is not expensive. The person would no longer need to grab the top of the care of the door frame to get out of the car. As with the swivel that Leonore suggests, it is portable, not permanently attached to the car, so it can travel with the person.
