TOWSON, Md., April 23, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Ruby Slipper, LLC, announces that the Ruby Slipper Car Seat Cover<\/a>, a deceptively simple product that grew out of a common frustration, has become a comfortable and affordable solution to a problem faced by many persons with limited mobility: the inability to enter and exit a car. The Ruby Slipper re-opens the door to more freedom and mobility.<\/p>\n

\nWhile most people take getting into a vehicle for granted, being unable to do that can severely limit the quality of a person\u2019s life. For individuals whose mobility is limited by age, injury, disability, recent surgery or weakness, getting in and out of a car easily can pose an insurmountable challenge. Many people with limited mobility are deeply saddened by the thought of giving up a lifetime of independence. And for others who are rehabilitating from an injury or surgery, difficulty getting in and out of a car can pose a roadblock to recovery.<\/p>\n

Ruby Slipper Developed Out of Necessity<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ruby Slipper creator Katherine Miles developed this mobility device in response to her own mother\u2019s lack of upper and lower body strength due to injuries and other health conditions. Miles\u2019 mother\u2014Ruby, of course\u2014was no longer able to push herself back in to sit in Miles\u2019 passenger seat. \u201cMy problem was I did not have\u00a0the strength to get her back\u00a0into the seat either,\u201d said Miles.<\/p>\n

Facing the prospect of no longer being able to take her mother for errands, appointments and drives, Miles got to work. The solution she arrived at is a fabric seat cover that fits virtually all passenger cars and trucks and works on both cloth and leather seats. The Ruby Slipper\u2019s heavy-duty double layer of cloth over the seating area creates a unique sliding action that allows an individual to pivot smoothly into a comfortable sitting position.<\/p>\n

Explained Miles, \u201cIt was\u00a0no longer difficult to get my mother into the car safely, and did not\u00a0take super powers to do! I thought this was a type of \u2018swivel car seat for seniors\u2019 that other people with aging parents could appreciate, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ruby Slipper Offers Fast Installation, Simple Use<\/strong><\/p>\n

The installation of the Ruby Slipper is quick and easy. Once placed into position on the car seat, the Ruby Slipper can be strapped securely into place in moments. To use the Ruby Slipper, the top layer of nylon fabric is rotated over the seating area toward the door to hang over the side of the seat.<\/p>\n

Then, it\u2019s just sit, turn and slide. The individual sits on the edge of the car seat, and because the two pieces of fabric slide over one another, swivels into the car to place his or her feet on the floor. (If help is needed, a caregiver can grasp the individual\u2019s legs and rotate them into the car.) Once facing forward, the individual can slide back in the seat and buckle the seatbelt. These steps are done in reverse to exit the car.<\/p>\n

Because it\u2019s so lightweight and simple to install, the Ruby Slipper can be moved from car to car as needed. The rugged nylon fabric, straps and buckles are built to last. The nylon fabric is comfortable and doesn\u2019t grow too hot when in use, as other makeshift solutions can. Easy to care for, the Ruby Slipper can be cleaned by using a damp cloth or by hand-washing. It\u2019s available in original red, as well as black and gray to coordinate with most vehicle upholstery.<\/p>\n
