The optional Brotherwood TRANSFER SEAT makes transferring into the front passenger seat easier, by rotating the seat out over the door sill of the car, enabling easy access. The seat can then pivot back into place inside the car smoothly and without effort. Passenger transfer is made easier without the need to stoop or stretch, and without extra lifting on behalf of the carer.
