The act of stepping out of a car seat may seem like one of life’s easiest chores.

Yet for some — those afflicted with arthritis, those recovering from injury or surgery, perhaps a mother-to-be in the last month of pregnancy — that swiveling move to swing out of a car seat may be a challenging and painful feat.

Here’s where a personal assistant might be handy, someone to help swing the legs around and enable the body to pivot in the seat to set up an easy exit strategy.

The Swivel Seat Cushion can provide that helpful assist. It’s a round cushion that has a built-in swivel mechanism that allows the seat to rotate completely around in either direction.

The cushion, about 15 inches in diameter, is wrapped in a removable cover that’s washable. It’s sturdy — rated to support up to 300 pounds — but also light in weight (2.25 pounds), so it’s easy to pick up the cushion and take it away as you leave the vehicle.

Order the cushion by calling 888-940-0605 or by visiting www .dynamic-living.com for $25.
