Vehicle Assistance Products

As the population lives longer, multigenerational families continue to sprout up across America. It is very nice to accommodate your elders at your home, but sometimes people forget that just like you, elders want to get out of the house every now and again as well. ActiveForever carries a wide variety of products for the older individual to make it out of the home without hassle. A number of products for assistance in vehicles, such as the Harmar Inside Scooter Lift or Universal Power Chair Lift, are perfect for the family van or sport utility vehicle and designed to carry a variety of scooters and wheelchairs with occupants.

Using assistive devices such as a scooter or wheelchair is useful for anybody who wants to get around the house, but disabled travel for long distances can be difficult; getting in and out of the car can be too daunting of a task to the point that feelings can get hurt when it comes to a family road trip. Additionally, something as simple as a trip to the store can be too difficult if car accommodations aren't made for every member of the family. Depending on how bound to a wheelchair or scooter you are a loved one are, there are a variety of products that can help you get around town.

Assuming you have a large car, you can use a wheelchair ramp such as the Harmar Single-Fold Safety Ramp as a disabled travel aid to make the process of getting inside of the car an easier task. It easily folds for carrying in your car without adding something exterior to it. The EZ-access Trifold Ramp performs a similar function, but provides more versatility; it helps the wheelchair or scooter user to transverse steps and other outdoor settings.

Other handicap lifts such as the Harmar Hybrid Platform Lift and Silver Star Quad XL Scooter Lift are designed to attach to the exterior of your car. These are useful if you or your loved one frequently use the car to the point that you constantly need something to facilitate transfer into the car. Also, depending on the weight of the scooter, you can use the Harmar AL065 Micro Inside-Out Lift; the lighter your scooter is, the better the Micro works on it. People who usually get scooter lifts will frequently purchase the Harmar Swing Away Option, as it allows easy access to the trunk of your van or SUV.

If you don't desire using any mechanical wheelchair or scooter lifts for your car, the Tilt-a-Rack Scooter Carrier-350ARV is perfect. For ease of use, these assistive devices stabilize themselves after the scooter rolls on it. Another easy to use wheelchair carrier is the Silver Star Caddy Wheelchair Carrier, which essentially serves the same function as the Tilt-a-Rack scooter Carrier, but is solely for wheelchair use.

If you or your elders only need to use a scooter for long trips (i.e. their short term walking is fine), the best assistive device is the EV Rider Tzora Elite Folding Scooter. With the ability to quickly fold up for easy placement in your car, it is designed to easily assemble without much effort so the user can be on their way without spending time putting it together or using a disabled travel ramp. It can even be folded up and checked in on an airplane. Additionally, there are no heavy parts to lug around; the lightweight design makes it easy for anybody to use, young or old.

Don't let your limited mobility by foot hinder your trips outdoors. Take your kids and grandparents out at the same time using one of the many vehicle assistance products by ActiveForever. You'll open up new doors for yourself or a loved one in terms of mobility.
