Question 1

My mom is unable to walk or straighten her knees. Can she be transferred from bed to wheelchair using this? Can this be used with a Hoyer lift?

Accepted Answer

To clarify, while the Comfort Carrier was designed for manual transfers when permanent lift equipment is not available, the Comfort Carrier CAN be used with a Hoyer-type lift when one is available by adding optional 18" nylon loop straps of the type used in rock climbing. I have done this myself when traveling. These straps are looped through the handle by the knee and shoulder and can then be hooked over the hooks of a hoyer-type or ceiling lift.

Question 2

Do you have these with small imperfections? Pethaps the price could come down. ;-) its very cool but expensive for most di9sabled people like me.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question and interest. I'm sorry we do not have any units with imperfections. All units must pass a rigorous quality inspection test before being packaged for a customer.  We have only had 1 Comfort Carrier returned in 10 years that was from a woman who ended up walking out of the hospital and consequently very legitimately not needing it. Once a while someone decides they prefer another size which case we have done a few exchanges. If we ever do have a unit that cannot be sold as new,  listed here on Amazon appropriate status such as Used, Like New.

Question 3

My Mother when she was able to walk was 5'6 1/2. What's the difference in size between the small and medium?

Accepted Answer

The difference between small & medium is 1" in length.  The small is great for children and adults 5' 6" and smaller.  I would suggest the Medium size for your mother.

Question 4
