Does it work for sitting in a wheelchair for extended periods?

As long as you can adjust your foot rests accordingly to make up the difference in hight I would say it would work great.

Sorry, I only use for plane rides, and it works great for long hauls (5+ hours). It definitely makes plane rides bearable now, highly recommended.

If the wheelchair's wheels have bicycle style spokes and hub, it should work. These would be a perfect night time safety feature, I would recommend giving them a shot, especially since they're so affordable. Cheers!

No, I wouldn't recommend it. It gets too tight when you sit very long. It works better when you are up moving around doing something.

I have never seen one on a wheelchair but if there is an 1 1/4" tube somewhere on the seat or armrests it would work.

I haves used this chair for doctor visits and once for a short trip to the mall and we were happy with it, but we were not longer then an hour. I believe he would become not as comfortable as in a wheel chair.

I like the cushion on my wheelchair to raise me up...thus making it easier to get out of the chair and into the car, it is comfortable for me. The longest I have used it has been a five hour stretch.....(I use a power chair at home) But for all day I cannot say.

It might work, but I think that in order to have it last for some time period, the weight of the person should be no more than 150- lb. It works real well with wheel chair.

If you mean one of those extra-wide wheelchairs, probably not. The straps won't read around anything wider than a standard chair.

YES! I bought it for a family member who is disabled and she has had no trouble with it and takes it everywhere. It did get stuck in the mud at a baseball game, but she felt safe sitting in it. It's a great purchase. I will probably get another one this summer for myself!

Perhaps if you sew some binding tape to two corners and then tie it around your seat in the car it might hold it. Obviously you have fabric seats and if Velcro doesn't work. I was happy to see you had used this for two years without problems. It helps my husband immensely in the wheelchair. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

It doesn't have any cushion, but it wasn't designed to have a child in it for extended periods as a regular wheelchair. I have two cerebral palsy grandkids and us it to bring them back and forth from car and trips to mall or short walks. It is still a little big for my grandkids but serves its purpose well.

If you are asking if you can use this to lift someone from a wheelchair, yes. You have to get the sling under the patient in the proper position, attach the loops and slowly pump the handle. The same technique can be used in the reverse slowly lower the person in the chair. It works because the bottom legs of the unit can spread fairly wide, sliding them to either side of the chair. I hope this helps.

My only additional thought is it depends on how mobile the person in the wheelchair wants to be. If he/she is on a flat floor & mostly wanting a place to rest the glass, it should work if the base fits measurements Jan provided. Going over door sills between rooms may be more difficult. I wonder if a napkin circling the glass will increase stability? Another option might be a fine quality (translate "attractive & a little special") flat bottom juice glass.

Sure you can, if your legs reach the floor and you use your feet to 'walk' along. As you can imagine not a great wheelchair alternative for anything other than short distances. However it works fine to sit in and have your caregiver push you with the handles. I do this with my lady friend all the time.

Yes. That is how I use it and it works well. I use an inflatable exercise ball as a "bench" to sit on.

I don't know for sure but I imagine it could. It certainly is strong enough to. I'm not driving a car any more. What I use it for is to carry bags of groceries on my walker. I'm not in a wheelchair yet.

Yes. It has worked out well as a cushion in my husband's wheel chair. He says it is more comfortable for him than a softer foam cushion we tried.
