Everytime I help her reposition it takes sometimes a half hour to get her situated. Even then she isn't comfortable...she just says "it'll work." We have tried everything. She was fitted for her current chair at Walgreens...but they did a terrible job. She can barely stand it anymore. There has to be someone out there that is in the same situation that can guide me in the right direction. She is in a wheelchair 24/7....is it that hard to ask to be able to get her comfortable? Someone...please help.
As a chair user myself, the first problem most likely is she was not fitted correctly. Most chair users are fitted and measured by suppliers that are certified to do this. There are many options available to help position someone in a wheelchair ie, head rests, lateral supports etc. The best option would be to make an appoinment with a seating clinic that can evaluate what is needed to help in positioning. Hope this helps.

no "lip" (wall) at the bottom of the boot door on the inside, to lift the wheelchair over, and about the price of a basic ford focus
I would find a used Honda Odyssey or CRV. Can the person get out of the chair and into a car seat or immobilized in chair all the time. If immobilized the 2001-2005 odyssey is very nice and has back sliding doors so it is easy to get the chair into and out of. If they can get out then you could get an older odyssey with some miles that would be cheaper.
around the price of a ford focus
Go for minivan, like ford galaxy, vw sharan or Vauxhall Zafira which one is cheapest. These cars are not to big not to smal, will fit not only wheelchair user, but you'll have space for four more people and baggage. Can be fitted with lift to get in.
my chair is turned OFF during charging. The charge takes all nite. The indicator on the charger registers-empty 1/2 charge, fully charged. In doubt call the manufacturer.

HENRY QUEEN'S BLOG: FAST FLAWED ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR
Back then wheelchairs didn't have automatic braking, or the fine direct control they have now, so if you let go of the joystick the chair would coast uncontrollably, and the only thing slowing you down was the friction within the motor and gearbox. There wasn't enough friction to slow you very much, so in order to go downhill safely you had to gently hold the chair in reverse and slowly descend. This technique had a relatively high pucker factor, because if your hand slipped you could run into some real problems, so when you came to a steep ascent or descent there was no other choice, but to guts up and go for it. Nowadays it's a whole new ballgame. Electric Wheelchairs are directly controlled...
