Transfer In & Out Of A Van

From start to finish, this paraplegic demonstrates how to transfer in and out of a minivan.

He starts by pulling his wheelchair out of the front seat of his car and attaches the wheels before lowering himself onto it from the driver’s seat. After his seamless transfer (complete with his adorable kids running around), he reopens the door and shows how he gets in. Using his hadn on the door frame to get extra lift, Erik transfers to the driver’s seat, removes his seat cushion and wheels before throwing hte frame in the front seat. Off he goes!

Erik’s method is one to consider if you’re a paraplegic looking to transfer into a vehicle. Share this with someone looking to master a transfer in and out of a minivan!
