To avoid lifting, the Banana and Boomerang Board is used to move a client from a car seat to a wheelchair. You can enter a car using the Boomerang Board as well. The Banana Board is not as effective for transporting clients into a vehicle because it is built of flexible P.V.C. Before purchasing any winch, make sure you are familiar with the brand and have a full information about the brand and its product. Each brand winch has its own unique set of characteristics and advantages.

@sfkettles‍ was it the swelling that did not allow you to use the board before yesterday? Or what was limiting you?

Also, I am sure you will be so happy once you get some shoes that fit without causing discomfort or pain! That is another accomplishment for you!

The swelling in my feet didn't stop me but I had to get approval from the physio before i could use the board but once they saw us using it they were happy for us to use it when i needed to but it will be better with shoes especially as it is getting colder

I've heard that the Boomerang Board is particularly useful for getting into a car, whereas the Banana Board is better suited for general transportation. I do want to emphasize that it's important to research any winch you're considering before making a purchase. Each brand has its own unique features and benefits, so you'll want to make sure you choose one that meets your specific needs. Speaking of transportation, if you're in need of car transport services, there are plenty of options out there to choose from. Just make sure you do your research and choose a reliable provider that can get you where you need to go safely and comfortably.
