Car adaptations – your guide to seating solutions

Sirus fit a wide range of car adaptations for disabled drivers and passengers. Whether you require an automated swivel car seat for a disabled person, or a simple, cost-effective transfer plate, we have the solution. Our car adaptations will enable you to remain comfortably seated in your car, whether you are the driver or passenger.

Swivel Seats

Car swivel seats are designed to give you easier access to your car. The entire seat comes out, lowers to a suitable position for easier transfer to or from a wheelchair. We can also fit a swivel seat which is specially designed to attach to a wheelchair base, turning your car seat into a wheelchair. (Please note, these are suitable for passengers as opposed to drivers as you will require assistance to fit the base into position).

Person Hoist

To assist in transferring from your wheelchair to a car seat another popular option is an in-car person hoist. This compact system is permanently mounted into the car with three sections that clip together and form a frame and a specially designed canvas sling seat. The sling is slipped onto the hoist and is raised automatically by pressing a push-button control. When not in use it can be detached in seconds and stowed in the boot completely out of the way.

Transfer Plate

If you are struggling to transfer, this simple and cost-effective transfer plate provides a surface between your wheelchair and your car seat. Fitted to the side of the car seat, once you are seated, it assists a safe transfer from your wheelchair. They are completely discreet and can simply be folded out of the way when not in use. Available in either a manual or electric option.
