Ateco Razor Back Seat Lift
ILC Reference NO 51:21:008
Item sourced from ILC VIC database
Factors to Consider
The foot support platform is not adjustable in depth, and users should ensure they can hold their feet in position on it. Users with difficulty bending their knees or hips may have difficulty with this.
The entire seat can sit outside the van to assist transfers.
· The entire seat can be moved out of the van to provide increased access to the rear row of seats, however hardware attached to the floor may cause a trip hazard.
Some ankle movement may be necessary to allow foot rotation to the left or right to clear the feet of the door opening as the seat rotates to ninety degrees
Short Description

The seat manually swivels ninety degrees, and then is powered using a push button switch mounted inside the van. This automatically slides the seat outside the van and lowers it to pavement level. It attaches under the existing car seat, or onto a retro fitted car seat which can replace a bench seat. A pull out footrest is situated under the seat and and is activated with another lever control. Designed for use with the Kia Carnival and Toyota Tarago. A mechanical lever operated model is also available.
