Getting Seated Turny HD/Orbit BraunAbility
Turny HD/Orbit BraunAbility
- Description
Take a seat, on the outside.
The Turny HD and Turny Orbit are seat lifts. They will rotate the seat, move it outside the car and lower the seat as far down as you need. This means that you can get seated on the outside of the car. Now, all you need to do is push a button and the Turny HD / Orbit will lift you inside the car.
Transferring to a high built car can be very difficult or even impossible. However, the Turny HD and Orbit aren't just for wheelchair users alone. Anyone that finds getting in and out of the car difficult can benefit from a little help of the Turny HD or Orbit.
In short, the Turny HD / Orbit is a simple way to make your car more accessible.
Easier transfer to and from your wheelchair
By using the Turny HD / Orbit you not only get the seat outside the car, but you also lower the seat to your level. This makes transfers even easier as you can always transfer to a lower point. When transferring from the wheelchair, simply lower the seat below the wheelchair seat. And when transferring to the wheelchair you stop lowering the seat above the wheelchair seat.
Not just for wheelchair users
You do not have to be diagnosed with a disability to find it difficult to get seated in a car. With the seat on the outside of the car getting seated is as easy as taking a seat in a chair. You can back up against the seat and let gravity do the work as you let yourself fall into the seat. You can hold on to the door for support. Once seated, the Turny HD / Orbit will get you inside. To get out of the car, rotate the seat out and lower it down until your feet touch the ground. Now you can stand up in a forward motion like you would from a chair. Again, use the door for support if needed. You can also use the height adjustment to help lift your butt out of the seat.
Second-row seating
The Turny HD / Orbit can just as well be installed in the second row of seats. In fact, in a lot of cars, it might even be the best choice for second-row installations. For example, in the Ford Grand C-Max and the Citroën Space Tourer there simply is not enough room for anything but the Turny HD / Orbit.
HD or Orbit?
The Turny HD and the Turny Orbit are essentially the same product but there is one key difference that sets them apart. The Turny HD has manual swivel and the Turny Orbit has powered swivel. Thanks to bearings rotating the seat out using the Turny HD does not require much strength. It does, however, require you to lift a locking lever before you can rotate the seat. One benefit of the manual HD is that the swivel can be performed quicker than on the powered Orbit. In the end, it's really only a question of personal preference.
Easy to use hand control
Are you going in or out? The intuitive 2-button hand-held control of the Turny HD / Orbit is clearly labeled and easy to use.
Lifting a child in and out of the car is heavy work and twisting motion guaranteed to take its toll on your back. As your child grows the risk of injury increases rapidly. By using the Turny HD or the Turny Orbit you can perform ergonomic lifts and save your back.
There's also a great social benefit of having your child close to you in the front seat. You see everything that's going on, you can talk to each other and you can enjoy the ride together. This is not quite as easy with a child riding seated in their wheelchair in the back of the van.
Build self-esteem and independence
Having the car seat on the outside is not just beneficial for adults. For children that want to transfer it can be the difference between possible and impossible. If and when your child is ready to start making their own transfer to and from the car seat, the Turny HD / Orbit can be used to help build technique and muscles.
Choose your seat.
Transferring without lifting
If you combine the Turny HD / Orbit with the Carony, you have a solution that totally eliminates the lifting when moving from wheelchair to car seat. As a user you simply stay seated while the entire seat slides from wheelchair into the car. It's as safe and comfortable as a standard car seat and it's as versatile and easy to use as a transport wheelchair.
