    Helping a weak or frail person get into a car with upholstered seats can be difficult. Try tucking a vinyl tablecloth or a plastic garbage bag into the seat. That way, you’ll create a surface that’s slippery enough to slide on. Or, purchase one of the many transfer disks available through home health stores. Simply place the disc on the floor, bed, or car seat and use the swivel action to turn into place. The fabric conforms to the user and folds for easy storage between uses.
