Use case
Car transfers
If you load your chair into a vehicle often, your loading routine is part of your mobility system. Make it sustainable.
Quick checklist
What to prioritize for car loading
Repeatability beats “best-case” performance. You’re doing this tired, rushed, and in bad weather sometimes.
Must check
- Total lift effort: chair weight and how it carries
- Wheel removal speed and reliability (daily use, not showroom)
- Frame behavior: rigid vs folding and how it fits your car opening
- A technique that doesn’t overload shoulders over months/years
Nice to have
- A predictable place to grab (balance point feels natural)
- Less fiddly parts (fewer steps = fewer mistakes)
- Setup that still feels stable once reassembled
Red flags
- A routine that already feels sketchy or painful
- Lightest possible setup that becomes unstable
- A fit that requires awkward twisting every time
