[AD] Making The Most Of Your Mobility With Car and Travel Aids

As we look forward to a time after this extended lockdown period when we can all start to get out and about a lot more, it’s a good idea sometimes to look at our level of mobility when considering travelling, or driving in particular, as there are many aids on the make that can make these tasks easier.

Many people suffer from a lack of grip and this can be due to an underlying condition, such as arthritis or recuperation from an injury, other times it may just be the effects of not being able to exercise as you would wish to, and the effects of older injuries coming back to the fore.

 The Car Support Handle is a handy little aid that has been designed to help users when rising from a vehicle. For ease of use, the Car Support Handle simply fits into the door bracket on the car’s door frame, working as a supporting handle that protrudes at an ideal height to assist the user in sitting or standing.

This can help with providing reassurance to vehicle users, making balance and coordination easier while alleviating the risk of injury from falls or slips, due to lack of the correct support.

The Car Support Handle has a soft, comfortable, slip-resistant handle which can double up as an emergency tool, with built in seat belt cutter, and a hammer feature that can easily break glass in the case of emergency.

When travelling longer distances in cars, the lower back can become uncomfortable and it can be hard to alleviate the pain from this lumbar strain just from adjusting the seat itself.

The beaded car seat cover helps to keep you cool by allowing air to circulate freely between the body and the car seat. The wooden beads of the cover also provide a gentle massaging sensation to optimise your comfort whilst driving.

The seat cover can be easily adjusted to fit almost all car seats and you can even use on other seats in the home, the non-slip back ensures a good grip to the surfaces where you need to place the cover.

The Super Swivel seat makes it easier to get either in or out of the car by gently rotating the body on the seat into a driving position when entering the car, or being able to turn towards the exit door to leave the vehicle.

 This fleece lined comfortable cushion is adaptable to many types of seats, not just in the car, but also for dining seats in the home. The Super Swivel Seat allows the ability to turn more easily in tight spaces when in a seating position so it’s easier to lift from the seated position. 

This cushion is compact and lightweight, so it’s very easy to take into other rooms, or when travelling, easy to store when not in use. the cushion also gives a little extra height, so can help with the best driving or seated position at the table.

 If you’re a blue badge user, you’ll know that sometimes it can be difficult to find just the right place to keep it, so that its kept safe and in good condition, but also ready for immediate use and display when required. 

The cloth blue badge wallet holder is a great idea, as the wallet fits the new permit and is hologram safe. In a navy drill this wallet fully complies with Department of Transport guidelines and the inclusive timer clock can be dialled without having to remove from the permit.

From The Blue Badge Company, this wallet will give great performance for many years and is UK manufactured, guaranteeing your permit is displayed legally and keeping it in good condition with regular daily use.
