THEThe Carony is about being able to go places, to do things and to be spontaneous. It will give any user and their carer more independence. It's the freedom to go wherever you wish and to be more active. Everyday things, like shopping or spur of the moment things, like having a picnic by the sea.The Carony is a system that lets you transfer from wheelchair to car seat without lifting. It takes away all the difficult, heavy and dangerous parts of the transfer. It's as safe and comfortable as a standard car seat and it's as versatile and easy to use as a transport wheelchair.If you're a wheelchair user and have trouble doing the transfer by yourself. If you're a carer and lifting your partner, parent or child, between wheelchair and car seat is difficult or impossible. Then the Carony might be the thing you need.It can also be about being able to stay together. For users and carers that live together, there are many aids to help them manage independently at home. The Carony is an extension of that independence that will take you as far as you're willing to drive.

THE SYSTEM
In short the Carony system consists of three parts: the seat, the wheel base and the swivel base. Together with the wheelbase the seat will become a standard transport wheelchair. Together with the swivel base the seat becomes a tested and approved car seat. This means anyone, wheelchair user or not, can sit up front in the Carony seat, use the car's original seat belt and enjoy a safe and comfortable ride.

THE SEAT
This is where the user sits, safely and comfortably. It is the moving part of the Carony that slides with the user between wheel base and swivel base. The seat has many different features for good posture and pressure relief. For example, raising the front of the seat cushion and reclining backrest. It also has integrated carer handles with brakes. Take a look at the Features section for a closer look at these and other features of the Carony seat.

THE WHEEL BASE

This is the wheel base. Together with the seat it forms the Carony wheelchair. This is where you find details such as foot rests, the crank for height adjustment and the parking brake. To make it easy to move around and safe to park, it has premium 16" wheels with disc brakes. The height adjustment crank helps to match the height of the car when docking, but it can also be useful for various situations in and around the home.

THE SWIVEL BASE

To enable the wheel base to dock and to hold the Carony seat, the swivel base takes the place of the original car seat. As the name suggests it can rotate towards the door opening so that the wheel base can dock on. Depending on the height and size of your car the Swivel base can look and function differently. In a higher car it could rotate out and lower down before docking the seat. And then lift both seat and user into the vehicle.

Regardless of how they look and work, all our compatible Swivel bases are crash tested and approved in combination with the Carony seat. We do these tests according to the same standards as car manufacturers.

THE BIG FEAUTURES:

The Carony’s purpose is to make it easy to transfer from wheelchair to car seat. However you will likely spend far more time seated in the Carony than you are doing transfers. That’s why usability and comfort were in focus when designing and adding features to the Carony.

Combine these features with our seating accessories to make the Carony a very comfortable car seat and wheelchair. For anyone, regardless of individual needs.

Push handles with brakes.
The Carony now features integrated push handles with brakes. When used as a car seat the handles fold into the back of the seat. It provides more space and clear impact surface for anyone seated behind the Carony seat. To achieve the greatest brake force with minimal input both rear wheels have disc brakes. If you need to let go of the handles but want to keep the brakes engaged you can flick a switch to temporarily hold the brakes. For longer stops and after docking, use the parking brake on the side of the Carony.

Highly adjustable.
Almost everything on the Carony is adjustable. From top to bottom you can adjust the height of the headrest, the thickness of the lumbar support, the height and angle of each individual armrest, the depth of the seat, the recline of the backrest, height of the front of the seat, the seating height of the Carony, the length of the foot rest as well as the angle and direction of the foot rests. Furthermore, we have the optional elevating leg support.

The little details.
While these aren’t exactly the deal makers or the unique selling points of the Carony, we still think they’re nifty enough to brag about.
