What Is a Turny Evo Seat and Who Benefits from It?


The Turny Evo seat is a specialized mobility seat that rotates, extends, and lowers outside a vehicle to assist individuals with limited mobility in entering or exiting with greater ease and safety. It is ideal for seniors, wheelchair users who can transfer, and caregivers assisting someone who has difficulty stepping into higher vehicles like SUVs or vans.

Mobility challenges shouldn’t mean giving up comfort, dignity, or independence. The Turny Evo seat is a practical and empowering solution that brings the car seat to the user.

Understanding the Turny Evo Seat

The Turny Evo is a motorized seat that makes vehicle access easier and safer for people with limited mobility.

The Turny Evo seat is designed to swivel out of the vehicle, lower to a safe transfer height, and then return smoothly into the vehicle at the push of a button. It transforms vehicle entry into a more secure and manageable process for both the user and any assisting caregiver.

Key features of the Turny Evo seat include:

  • Motorized operation: Moves in and out of the vehicle using a handheld remote or optional smartphone control.
  • Custom-fit installation: Works in many SUVs, trucks, and vans without major vehicle modifications.
  • Multiple adjustments: Seat height, rotation, and recline can be fine-tuned for maximum comfort.
  • 300 lb. weight capacity: Accommodates a wide range of users.
  • Optional child seat and heated seat upgrades: For added versatility and comfort.

Who benefits from the Turny Evo?

  • Seniors with limited flexibility or strength.
  • Wheelchair users who are able to transfer.
  • Individuals recovering from surgery or injury.
  • Caregivers assisting someone with mobility impairments.
  • Families with children who have special needs.

Why it matters:

  • Safety: Reduces risk of slips, falls, or awkward transfers.
  • Dignity: Empowers the user to stay involved in travel and daily outings.
  • Convenience: Works with existing seating configurations and doesn’t require a wheelchair-accessible van.
