Re: -Turny Seat w/corony base

[Guest guest]

The front passenger seat (or rear seat) is removed from the vehicle

and an aftermarket seat is placed in the car. Looks like a regular

bucket seat. The seat sits on a rotating base.....lift a lever and

it will rotate 90 degrees so the person sitting in it is facing out

of the car. Then you use remote switch and the seat moves out of the

car and lowers so it is easier to transferr from seat to wheelchair.

Or....one can use the corony with the seat. This is a base that

hooks into tracks on the seat. The corony has wheels on it and when

the chair is then moved via the track onto the base it becomes a

wheelchair. Leg rests and handle are attached and off you go. No

need for transfers. When Jerry and I are going out in the car he

will often transfer to the car seat in the house using grab bars and

then I can put it on the tracks and send it into the car. The base

is light enough for me to lift easily and put in back. We never need

to transfer again until returning home. It makes it MUCH easier on

me in and out of the car. I don't know if I could handle the cross

country trip we are making without this seat. You can see some

pictures of it on bruno's web site. Seeing it in person is the best

way to get the true picture of how it works. Also nice that if I

take the car out and Jerry is not with me there are no missing seats

in the vehicle. With this seat he can also sit up front with me

rather than in the back. No back seat driver for me!!!

Jan:

What a neato setup! Help me with " bruno's web site " as I don't recognize

the lingo. Terry is not yet in need of such a device, but I can see it

coming. My present car is a station wagon which handles the transport

chair well. However, the car has many miles on it and I can see that a

minivan is in my future, probably sooner rather than later. The setup you

describe is the most functional and feature rich I have seen described so

far. Thus, would appreciate more info.

Thanks for the insight.

,

If you look at minivans, be SURE to consider that Terri will have trouble with

higher seats. The Dodge/Chysler has the lowest seat height as it is built

more as a car than a truck like most minis. I learned that from a fellow

engineer whose wife had a stroke AND boy was I glad as MSA progressed and

Charlotte got shorter. Of course if you get the lift seat, it should not

matter.

Take care, Bill

Jan,

Thanks so much.

Can you give me directions to bruno's? I did a search on google ( " bruno's

website " ) and the bruno's they came up with was for a policeman in Guam!

Hi ,

Here's the site. www.bruno.com Click on " Products " on the top bar.

Then click on Turning Automotive Seats (TAS). They show the Turny

with the Corony base in one of the pictures. Not a great look at the

product but they will send you information if you request it. There

are several vehicles it will work in and some it will not work in.

We were purchasing a new vehicle so we only looked at products that

could be adapted. If you prefer cars over mini-vans it can go in

some GM cars. We ended up with a Toyota mini-van and Toyota gave us

$1000.00 back on the adapting of the vehicle. Most companies now

have the $1000.00 adaptation refund. The product is expensive but of

all the things we have bought this is the most useful product when it

comes to mobility. If you need additional info let me know, I could

take some photos of us getting Jerry in and out of the car and post

them for you if it will help.

Good Luck, Jan

I would like to add that the mini van was perfect for Jack because he was tall.

I

would help him stand and pivot and then he would just sit. However, my Dad is

short and he finds it a little high for him at age 92 to get into the van and on

the seat. So how tall a person is will make a difference on how easy the mini

van

is to get into. Hugs, Judy

Jan,

Thanks about the info on the turny seat w/corony base. My husband has

me sitting in the passenger seat next to him but he still tells me he

doesn't need a back seat driver. hmmmm wonder why? hehe

God bless,

Belinda

Can't imagine why he would say that. You are so quiet, never talk

unless spoken to, without opinion and basically, well boring????

He,he,he!!!! I think he has you sitting in the front cause you are

way to much fun to waste on the back seat. Keeps him awake, aware

and always on his toes.
