FAQS - SWIVEL SEATS

Please reach us at info@caruna.in if you cannot find an answer to your question.

A. CSS (Caruna Swivel Seat) A mechanism fit below vehicle seat carefully brings out passenger approximately 120 degrees swivel outside the door. Nearly half of the passenger’s body is then outside the vehicle. This makes it easy for a passenger to easily get in and out of vehicle. Swivel seats are suitable for persons having a minimum range of locomotor mobility. Completely paralyzed persons might find it difficult to use a swivel seat alone. For such cases, we recommend use of additional accessories to enable wheelchair to swivel seat transfers.
B. CMS (Complete Mobility Solution) A complete solution where vehicle seat with paraplegic passenger can be pulled out of vehicle and slid onto a wheelchair trolley. It can be used as a normal wheelchair from there on out.

Swivel seat mechanisms fit into most types of vehicles. The mechanism is of standard size. The vehicle structure or electronics are not altered during the fitting of these mechanisms.
The CMS wheelchair is compact size and fit into boot of even the smallest of cars. Interested buyers will need to let us know your car size, model in advance. The vehicle structure or electronics are not altered during the fitting of these mechanisms.

Swivel seats may be used by persons who are able to walk / stand with support and have hand grip potential.
Complete Mobility Solution may be utilized by persons with more acute locomotor mobility issues i.e. use wheelchairs, gait devices for walking, and other accessories.
