Glory has found it much easier to get in and out of the car since we covered the seat with a sheet of thick clear plastic. The plastic we used is .016 thick and comes in sheet form 54 inches wide. Costs about $1.50 per running foot and for an average carseat requires about three feet. We cut the sheet into roughly the shape of a Malteze Cross with the center large enough to cover the seat and four extentions that can be folded down at the sides and the front and back. We applied 1 1/2 by 3" strips adhesive-backed velcro to the plastic and adhesive-backed felt to the sides and front and back of the seats to hold it in place. We have been using this for about a year in cold and warm weather and it has proved very satisfactory. Glory justs sits down on the seat with her back to car and then I can left her legs up and rotate her into the forward position and buckle her in. Getting out is just the reversal and usually only requires her to take my hand and pull herself around to facing the open doorway. The plastic is heavy and firm to move on, dosn't bunch up and stays flexable in the winter and not gummy in the heat. We obatained ours from Orchard Supply Hardware. The manufacturer is Kittrich Corp., 14555 Londra Bld., La Mirada, Ca 90638 or Keettrich Corp., 4500 District Blvd. Los Angles, Ca 90058. Other manufactures may be available. Best local source would be general hardware not a home improvement store. Sorry if I have been a little long winded. I guess if you had wanted to know the time, I I would have told you how to build a clock. John Strauss C/G Gloria 76/20 [log in to unmask]
