Wanted it to work, but TOO SLIPPERY!
I had very high hopes for this transfer disc.  My mom has Parkinsons, and she sometimes freezes when doing a transfer, especially in and out of the car.  I ordered an 18&#34; size because she spreads her feet far apart for balance when standing.<br /><br />We tried it yesterday in her room, and she was very unsure.  We tried it today getting in the car, and it scared us both!  I followed instructions, and put the front of my foot on the disc before lifting her, to control it.  We slid all over the place!  I also have to spread my feet when picking her up for balance, and I guess I was unable to put enough pressure on that one foot to help anything.  Instead, between the two of us, there was only one steady foot.  I put her right back down, and accomplished the transfer without the disc.<br /><br />This thing is just too darn slippery!  Maybe that's not an issue with a smaller sized disc, or a closer stance, but unfortunately, it just doesn't work for us.
