• Rotary pad:

The conventional rotary pillow is suitable for people who are somewhat limited in mobility, but not dependent on a wheelchair. The rotary cushion turns with the own body movement in the desired direction. It simply rests on the standard, integrated seat and is transportable. It can be used for all positions in the car, whether front or rear. However, the pillow must be completely free to work. It must not knock on the backrest and lateral licking on the thigh support should be avoided. As a result, the seat can be permanently damaged and the function of the rotary cushion is at worst no longer available. A rotary cushion should facilitate the exit and not complicate it.
