When transferring from a wheelchair to a vehicle, having a car seat on a swivel base outside makes a great difference. With the Turny® Manual, you can easily rotate the seat towards the car's door and move it over the sill and through the door.
The Turny® Manual is a hand-operated swivel base designed for today's cars. Thanks to its unique movement capabilities, it provides more space – and it gives you a more comfortable riding experience.
With most of the seat cushion on the outside of the car, it's much easier to transfer to and from a wheelchair. In its outermost position, the Turny® Manual locks firmly into place, giving you a stable point to hold onto while transferring.
Getting seated in a car can get tricky for car users of all abilities. Having the seat on the outside means you can back up against the edge of the seat and drop down. Then use the Turny® Manual to transfer yourself into the car. Getting out is just as easy. Rotate out and get up in a forward motion like you would from a chair. You can even use the door as a brace.
The advantage of using a swivel base is that it allows you to choose from many more car brands and models, unlike lowered vehicle floor solutions. It doesn't matter how well a car fits with the Turny® Manual, the combination has to work for you.

The Turny® Manual is a hand-operated swivel base for low built cars like Hatchbacks, Coupés, Sedans, Station Wagons and MPVs.
With only two levers, the Turny® Manual is very easy to operate. Lift the lever on the side to engage the rotation and push the lever in the front down to move the seat backwards or forward. Both swivel and lengthwise movement can be done simultaneously giving you perfect control.
Our Turny® Low Vehicle is a powered swivel base that offers similar functionality as the Turny® Manual. It's fully automatic and operated via a wired remote or your mobile phone.

Combining the Turny® Manual with the Carony®, creates an accessibility solution that eliminates the lifting when you move from a wheelchair to a car seat. You simply stay seated while the entire seat slides from the wheelchair into the car. This combination is as safe and comfortable as a standard car seat and it's as versatile and easy to use as a transport wheelchair.
Turny® Manual puts you in the front seat, where you can experience the ride like everyone else. Our solution is designed to let you see the scenery passing by through the windshield. It lets you tune in your favourite song on the radio. And it lets you have a conversation with the person next to you, as a driver or passenger.
We developed the Turny® Manual in parallel with the Caroseat® Flex. Both products use the benefits of the other to achieve the best performance, due to their efficient use of space inside the vehicle. This not only allows to optimise the use of space, but also the flexibility to install it in a greater variety of modern cars. As they were designed to operate together, combining the Caroseat® Flex with the Turny® Manual ensures optimal functionality.
Our car seat has been successfully crash-tested to ensure you and everyone else inside the car enjoy the same level of safety.
As with all our Turny® products, the installation is completely reversible. In most cases, it requires no permanent modification to the vehicle. In other words, it will not affect the resale value of your car. You can even reinstall it in your next car.
We take safety very seriously. That's why we put all our products through rigorous testing. The Turny® Manual has passed crash tests, as well as flammability testing. We are very proud of this innovative product and every little detail it has to offer.
