Upfront Seat Systems

 

With CARONY you can move in and out of the vehicle without actually needing to rise from the seat. It’s the seat itself that moves from the wheelchair wheel unit to the swivel base inside the car. It’s easy and comfortable for both the passenger and the person assisting. The low built seat is crash tested and fulfi ls current vehicle regulations and the passenger travelssafely strapped by the vehicle seatbelt.

CARONY is available with two differentwheel alternatives: 12” rear wheels, which is a transport wheelchair for thoseunable to drive themselves and with 24” drive wheels, for those who can.

The CARONY system, 12” and 24”, consists of a wheel-unit, a comfortable seat, which is used both inside and outside the vehicle and the swivel base TURNOUT fitted to the car.

By means of a couple of simple manual operations, you move the seat and passenger from the wheelchair frame to the front passenger position in the car. The compact wheel unit is stored in the boot when not in use. For vehicles with a higher step up, such as MPV vehicles etc., CARONY can be combined with the car seat lift TURNY.

Smooth and easy to use, even at home!

Apart from being a transport wheelchair, the CARONY 24” is also a comfort wheelchair, smooth and easy to use in the home, outside and in the car. It has all the advantages of the CARONY system including practical accessories for various needs and functions.

The total width of the chair is 67 cm (26½”) and therefore passes easily through door openings in the home. The ergonomic design of the CARONY gives a good sitting position - as good as an armchair.

It is possible to have the drive wheels in three alternative positions to adapt the chair to the needs, balance and driving ability of each individual user.


The chair that grows with your child!

CARONY Kids does away with having to lift the child and simplifi es transport to and from the car. CARONY Kids adapts to your child as the length of the seat cushion can be adjusted to follow to the growth of the child. The cushion and backrest can be washed and changed, if you wish.

When the child has grown out of the chair, it can be converted to adult size with the help of a kit from Autoadapt.

CARONY Kids is available in three alternatives:

  • with12” rear wheels, a transport wheelchair.
  • with 24” driving wheels for children who can drive the chair by themselves.
  • as a CARONY Fixed wheel unit, which is of a standard fi xed height.

CARONY Kids consists of a wheel unit, a comfortable seat with an adjustable neck cushion and body support, as well as a foot rack, facilitating turning in and out of a car. The chair is combined with either the swivel base TURNOUT or the car seat lift TURNY.


A power wheelchair that finally enables you to travel in a standard small car!

CARONY GO will take you from your home right into your car. A Turnout swivel base needs to be installed in the car, onto which the power wheelchair seat slides from its wheel unit. CARONY GO can also be combined with a Turny car seat lift for use in MPVs with higher fl oors. The wheelchair is easy and practical both in the home and outside on uneven surfaces. It has been tested and approved by the Swedish Handicap Institute and fulfi ls modern power wheelchair requirements.

You sit safely strapped in by the seat belt, in a collision-tested chair base

People in power wheelchairs usually have to travel by minibus without being securely strapped in. But now you can sit as safely and comfortably as other passengers.


The Turny System is a swivel motorised car seat lift, especially designed for cars with a little higher floor level - mini buses and vans.

Turny is available for both left and right side installation The Turny makes it remarkably easy to enter or exit a car and it is also beneficial as a standing-up aid. Turny's variable raising and lowering function is ideal for wheelchair users who can easily place the seat to the correct height to be able to transfer themselves sideways to or from their wheelchair.

The design and the variable height possibilities make this seat easy to use both for the user and the helper.

Turny can be used both in the front or back and on the near or off side. Depending on the user's needs and the car model.

It is advantageous to combine Turny with a Carony transport wheelchair If more head or leg space is required we recommend a special low built seat (The BEV-Seat). Other practical accessories make it easy to equip the seat according to your special requests or requirements. The lower seat is available as an option.



The cars original seatbelts are used.

Modifications to the car are minimal and the car can easily be returned to its original condition, when the time comes to change vehicles

Installation must be done by trained technicians who are responsible for the functionality and safety both inside and outside the car.


Turnout is a swivel base which makes it possible to turn the seat out over the car's doorstep when entering and exiting the car. The base is mounted on the adapted bracket, which itself is mounted on the car's original foundation on the floor.

A low built seat, such as a BEV seat, is mounted on the swivel base. The BEV seat is designed for maximum leg and head space.

Turnout is an improved edition of the Caro swivel base. Many years of experience has been taken into its development.The result is a new swivel base which appeals to both the user and the installation technician.
 
Using the swivel base simplifies day to day living for the user who has reduced mobility as well as saving the back strain of the person who helps with the lifting in and out of the car.
 
The goal has been to develop a well-designed, crash safe, easy mountable and functional swivel base. We believe that has been achieved 


TURNOUT 2
Turnout 2 is designed for cars with two doors. This model can easily be installed in the majority of car models available on the market, and can be mounted on the driver or passenger side.
In position in the car, the original seatbelts are used. Changes to the car are minimal and can easily be restored when it is time to replace the car. Turnout can also be transferred to the next car.

TILDA - Makes entering the car much easier!

TILDA combines excellently with the seat swivel TURNOUT and makes it even easier to get in and out of the car. By keeping the feet on the footrest they automatically follow over the threshold.

In combination with CARONY, TILDA will provide more head space as the seat slides over from the Carony wheel unit to the swivel base inside the car.
