While this method may make it easier to get in and out of the car, it can also add a danger since the person remains sitting on the plastic during the trip. The plastic bag can cause potential danger if the driver hits the brakes harder than usual.......the person sitting on the bag may slide forward (not bending at the waist, but essentially sliding under the seat belt). So, if you choose to use this method, do so with extreme caution! Sincerely, Bonnie Cunningham, R.N.

Barb This is one almost too easy, but someone in our PD Support group suggested using a large plastic garbage bag over the car seat to aid in the PWP sliding in/out of the vehicle. Our van has leather seats and it works quite well. I would guess it would help also on fabric seats. Duane & Patt
