I have used these swivel seat cushions for about a year. I love them. The hold up well and save your back. I have gotten my friends to use them also.

I ordered this swivel seat cushion over a year ago and am still using it.I use it on my kitchen chair and find it very helpful when getting up from the table.Would recommend this from RealiTee to anybody that has had surgery or arthritisand has trouble getting up from the table.

I gave it to my 91 year old friend to help her get out of her car. She loved it.
Yvonne Kaneshiro
Got this to help partially paralyzed husband get in and out of car and it’s worked really well. He scoots his butt right up and into seat and swivels forward facing while I lift his paralyzed leg into car. No more pushing and tugging into place. He says it’s comfortable enough for an hour or so but I wouldn’t suggest using it on long car rides. Really happy with this and have suggested to other care home families.
Cindy Fruge
This swivel seat is a perfect fit for the bucket seats in my car. Following hip replacement surgery it's a must have!!!

I bought this for my grandmother she loved it

Purchased this for my mother in law to help her exit her car seat a little easier. She is 83. She loves it. Comfortable and turns easily.
Jimmaresa
My brother has chronic back problems. He has not been able to safely drive for over a year. I hoped this swivel seat would help. It works beyond expectations. He can now drive and move about without the pain he use to have and is out and about like never before. His spirits are up and he feels less 'in a prison' for a long time. I highly recommend this for anyone with similar back or leg problems.
Cameron
I am short legged and it has made getting out of my kitchen chair so much easier. I plan on using it in my car which I believe will help greatly.
Katherine
Nice seat to use to get in/out of car with. I do not like that it is not very comfortable, especially on long trips it makes my back n hips hurt worse. Now if they made one that is comfy and swivels...
Frank Leahy
I like the improved cushion on this one. I have another about 7 years old and it still works great, but this one is more comfortable. Well priced.
poo
This is a great product for someone that is disabled. It is very easy to use and it works great.

Awesome , helpful !!! Great purchase

The idea of a swivel seat is great for someone with lower back problems or piriformis symptoms (tend to throw your back when you just turn wrong and never figure out why? might be this). The problem, however, is that each car seat is different and so you must work with the swivel seat product to make it right for your situation. Here's what we did: first the car's bucket seat prevented the swivel seat from nesting securely within it. No matter how much I adjusted it, the edges of the swivel seat rested on the edges of the car's seat and the center was lifted, creating movement and a bad fit (imagine the car seat as a wide U and the swivel seat resting on the uprights of the U, but not the bottom curve). Solution: a small folded towel placed in the center of the bucket seat leveled it out (filled in the U) and the swivel seat now nests flatly. Second problem: even though it sits flat, it still slides around. Solution: I placed a strip of 3M safety walk, indoor/outdoor tread tape across the bottom of the swivel seat. It now sits securely in place and my mom can get in and out of the car better. I can't yet comment on the durability of the swivel seat because it is new. If it breaks or malfunctions, I'll update this. Update 11/2013: it's still working great. Note: I also purchased The Stander's Handybar (see my review on that product page). Once mom turns to the side, she simply drops the handybar into the door frame slot (where the car door connects with the frame) and boosts herself up and out. Update 09/2016: still working great!

I purchased the 'drive medical swivel seat cushion' for my husband. He drives a Silverado truck all day long for his job and had developed pain in his hip from constantly having to exit the vehicle to do his job. He absolutely loves it and says it really works. It even helps when he has to reach into the back seat for equipment. I'm so glad I ordered it after seeing an advertisement for swivel seats. I would recommend it to anyone who has to drive for a living.
Guli
It arrived yesterday. So far has worked very well in one of the cars and on regular chairs. It is not a good fit for cars with seats with raised sides as it interferes with the proper fit.
Rusty
My mother is quite disabled. This really helped her to be able to get into the front seat more easily. Thanks.

Works great, it helps my wife get in and out of the car.
Pam Frazier
Perfect for getting in and out of the car. Got it for my dad. Great product
Linda
Bought this as a gift for a friend with back and leg problems. She says it helps her get in and out of her car, and also raises her up a bit which helps with driving.
juneybug
Perfect for my hip needs getting in and out of my car.
Melanie M. Willige
Works well
Margaret Y.
Great product for my 103 year old mother.
Gayle L. Boc
Great product!
J Squared
I bought this as a 'Rube Goldberg' type thing, not for the car. I use it beside my oversized sunken bathtub so that I can sit, turn, and lift my feet into or out of the tub easily. I had to build a base for it so that it was even with the top of the fancy tub, but it works great. I may eventually get one for the car!
Musa
Exactly as described. I use it in my car as I have a bad back and it is great to get in very easily but also helps when trying to turn your body to see side views when driving.
OLIVIA E.
Excellent product for people who needs help while sitting in the car.
Michele C.
This worked well. My niece had surgery on her thigh bone & can not put any weight on her leg for 3 months. She said it is was a lot easier to get in the car with it then without. It easily swivels & very good padding but we've only had it for a week so not sure if the cushion will hold up for awhile.
Kimmers
Perfect for swiveling into the car if you have back issues. The bonus is that it's very cushy too.Grandma loves it so much she keeps it on her kitchen chair and uses it daily.
perfectcoffeeseeker
Perfect for after knee or hipo surgery to assist getting in and out of car.
A.T
Very useful for mother who just had stroke
Krane
Extremely helpful getting in and out of the car
CONSUMER Advocate
Pretty nice construction. Now I am 6'2' and 205lbs. and when I sit on cushion, I wish it was slightly bigger. Secondly, this cushion does not have a sturdy base or ball bearings. Expect 1 year before it breaks. There are several brand seats with same basic design out of China.
D. G. Goeritz
This swivel cushion fits perfectly on my Honda Civic driver's seat and is very helpful in getting in/out of the vehicle.
VA in NH
Used on my dining room chairs, the swivel works well as long as I pay attention to where it is on the chair seat before I sit down. The cushion is not tall, so it leaves plenty of room under the table.
Tom Howley
I got this for my mother in law who has a bad back. Makes the phrase 'take it for a spin' all the more funny!

My mom broke her pelvis and was in rehabilitation. In order to preserve her sanity and to transfer her to physical therapy we needed to transfer her in and out of the car. This made this process 100% easier!
Gram
Isn't easy to use for handicapped individuals. It gets in a position and the person has to actually get out to readjust then try not to move it when they go to sit back on it.
BJG
I bought this for a frien who fractured her pelvis. It's a big help for her to get in and out of her truck. Well worth it.
Lil Gal
This is a great tool for helping my mom get in and out of the car. It makes everything easier.
Phlssc
My mom (has Parkinsons) and my Grandma (95) both use the seats in their kitchens and considering getting more for car, etc. They both have said they love it.
RJswanee
I bought 2 of these, one for my grandmother (she has a bad back, she's crazy short, and it's hard for her to get in and out of her car), and one for my father (he has a bad back, so kind of the same deal). My grandmother LOVES her Swivel Seat. Not only is it easier for her to get in her car, but it also gives her a much needed height boost behind the wheel. She was using a pillow so she could see over the steering wheel, but this is tall enough that she doesn't need the pillow anymore.My father likes it, but his amnesia prevents him from remembering it's there, so he occasionally forgets and is surprised by the swivel action under his rear. When he remembers it's there, though, he likes it. We use it in the house so he can get up and down from the dining table easier, and he takes it with him on his trips in the car.My only issue with it is that it doesn't grip the seat it's sitting on as well as it could. If there's any shape to your car seat, I recommend putting a towel under it so it can fully grip the seat. It works great and stays put on completely flat surfaces (like a dining chair), but it took a bit of tweaking to get it to stay put in my grandma's car seat.Overall, I'm glad I bought this product. It helps people with bad backs get in and out of areas that we young, healthy people take for granted. 8/10, would buy again.
Mary Louise Roberts
Gave this as a gift to my 89-year-old neighbor .... She commented that it is comfortable and she enjoys getting in and out of the car now so much easier.

Allows my wife to get in & out of the car.

It fits nicely in the front bucket seat of my vehicles. Swivels well under my 200 pound weight. Kind of firm to sit on for any length of time.
Love-N-Kindness
EXCELLENT PRODUCT! WORKS FLAWLESSLY SO FAR ON MOST ANY SURFACE..CAR, KITCHEN CHAIR AND SOFA. DURABLE AND FOR THE MOST PART COMFY. SPINS VERY EASILY... FOR ADDED TRACTION IF NEEDED WE JUST CUT A PIECE OF RUG GRIPPER PAD & THAT WORKS GREAT FOR ME! - 2/23/18 Bought a 2nd, might buy a 3rd / 4th, Price dropped 30%! $15-
Just an Indiana Girl
We have bought 3 of these. My mom has used this for years. She had broken her hip and getting out of her chair at the kitchen table was hard. She can spin right around with no problems. This has lasted her several years and we just got the 2nd one out and ordered another to have on hand.In a car, it's a little harder to spin depending on if your car seat slants or not but it is useable.
Blondie G. Marslender
This did not serve the purpose we intended it for, but the grandkids love it. We purchased it for my mom to use on a long trip getting in and out of the car, but it was too uncomfortable for her to sit on.
Mae
I use this seat to turn aged person around in the bed, works real good!
WalkingDeadFan
Due to a bad back I purchased this in hopes of making it a little easier to get in and out of my truck. I actually don't find that it turns as easily as I was hoping it would. You kind of need to position yourself just right for it to turn when entering the vehicle, I guess you could say there is a learning curve involved. It's is much more useful when exiting the vehicle. My only real complaint is that I wish it had a little more padding or perhaps a different type of padding to make it more comfortable over long periods.If you have found this review to be helpful please click 'yes' below so that I know writing these reviews serves a purpose and I'm not wasting my time.

I have a small Chevrolet Sonic and getting in and out of the driver's seat was a challenge. Even though my new swivel seat doesn't fit perfectly, it is still so much easier for me to get in and out. My legs don't bend and that is my problem. The process has been much improved and for that, I am grateful to my new swivel seat. Greatly appreciate the prompt service as well.
M. Papadolias
This is a great seat cushion. It empowers me to get in an out of the car without strain. It fits well in a bucket seat and actually helps me see better over the dashboard. I highly recommend this to people with hip problems or people trying to avoid getting hip problems.
Christine S.
Because of my husbands' illnesses, he had a painfully, difficult time getting in and out of the car. Someone told me about this swivel seat so I, of course, looked at RealiTee first and found it. It was amazing how much easier it was for my husband to maneuver after getting it. Sadly he passed away in January of this year. I will save it for the day when I may need it myself. It was a God send for him.Christine C. Schubert

I tried the swivel cushion in several ways until I found the best way for me t0 get in the driver's seat of the car and getting my seat belt fastened. I had left shoulder replacement recently so this was a challenge. I found sitting on the 'plush' side did not work for me because the friction made it hard to swivel. So I turned it upside down and sat on the 'smoother' side. Then I could swivel to the left and grab the seat belt and swivel back to face the steering wheel. I hope this helps someone who is having trouble using this nifty gadget.
CHERI TUCKETT
Purchased this for my elderly mom, so she could get in and out of the dining room chair. The swivel makes it really easy for her and the little extra cushion gives her a little more comfort on that hard wooden chair.
joseph Van Note
i liked it and it did help me get out of car faster as i placed it on my seat and i could swivel and get my left problem foot out of car.
imsocrazy
I bought this for my husband who has arthritis and suffers from hip problems. It certainly has made getting out of the car easier but the getting in part still takes some practice. I think after all the ones I researched, this one is the best of the lot. The only problem he has is he says it is not too comfortable to ride on for long periods of time, but worth it to be able to swing out of the car when he gets where he is going. It is well made and the swivel seems to work very good, unlike some others I have encountered. All in all pretty happy with this product.
Susan Perrier
purchased for my 87 yr old mother. She uses it to get in and out of car. It works well. She has gone on two hour rides sitting on it and said she was comfortable.
