Swivel Seat FAQ's
What type of vehicles can be equipped with swivel seats?
Our swivel seats can be fitted into hundreds of different cars ranging from hatchbacks, people carriers, SUV’s and others. For specific vehicle compatibility, we always recommend contacting our team to check and confirm.
If you are purchasing a new car, we recommend exploring our Adapt & Drive scheme.
Can a swivel seat be installed in any position of the car?
Swivel seats are often installed in the front passenger door, but they can also be installed to the front drivers side and either rear seat in certain vehicles. For specific vehicle compatibility, we always recommend contacting our team to check and confirm.
How much weight can a swivel seat support?
The weight limit for all swivel seats is 150 kgs.
How do I clean and maintain a swivel seat?
We recommend cleaning the swivel seat as you would with any other standard vehicle seat. Although it is not a requirement, we do advise that your swivel seat is serviced every 12 months to ensure it is in top working condition. Please get in touch with us to arrange yours.
How much space is required to install a swivel seat?
Certain models of the swivel seat do require a longer footprint than the original vehicle seat. This can be determined and discussed at point of assessment to ensure you get the right swivel seat for your needs and car.
Can a swivel seat be transferred if I change my car?
When the time comes to change your car, we recommend contacting our team to check compatibility of your swivel seat with the new vehicle and confirm if we can facilitate a transfer. A new installation kit is typically required.
What is the purpose of a swivel car seat?
A swivel car seat is designed to make getting into and out of a vehicle easier for people with reduced mobility. By rotating the seat towards the door, it reduces the need to twist or bend when transferring into the vehicle.
More advanced swivel seats can also extend and lower outside the vehicle, helping wheelchair users and mobility device users achieve safer and more comfortable transfers.
Is it worth getting a swivel car seat?
For many people with reduced mobility, a swivel car seat can significantly improve comfort, independence and accessibility. By bringing the seat closer to the user and reducing the effort required during transfers, a swivel seat can make everyday travel much easier.
Swivel seats are particularly beneficial for wheelchair users, people with arthritis, joint conditions, neurological conditions or anyone who struggles to access a standard vehicle seat.
Are swivel car seats legal?
Yes. Professionally installed swivel car seats are fully legal in the UK and are widely used to improve vehicle accessibility for drivers and passengers with reduced mobility.
All installations should be carried out by qualified vehicle adaptation specialists to ensure safety, compliance and correct operation.
Which is the best swivel car seat?
The best swivel car seat depends on your mobility requirements, vehicle type and transfer needs. Some swivel seats simply rotate such as our Turny Manual, while others can rotate, extend and lower to assist with wheelchair transfers.
For users requiring maximum assistance, powered swivel seats such as the Turny Evo and Turny Orbit are among the most advanced solutions available.
When should you consider a swivel car seat?
A swivel car seat may be beneficial if getting into or out of a vehicle is becoming difficult, uncomfortable or unsafe. Many people choose a swivel seat when they begin experiencing reduced mobility, difficulty transferring from a wheelchair, joint pain or balance issues.
The earlier accessibility challenges are addressed, the easier it can be to maintain confidence and independence when travelling.
