ABSTRACT:
A seat accessory is used to assist a user in entering and exiting a vehicle and includes a seat element mounted on a base element by a bearing, such as a lazy-susan bearing. The seat element includes a planar center section, a wall section and a leg support section. The seat is saddle shaped and tilts a user back toward a rear section of the wall which is sized and shaped to support that user in a comfortable traveling position. The accessory includes stops so the seat element will tend to remain in a transfer position or in a traveling position as desired without the user exerting force on the seat element. A second form of the seat accessory includes a front section that is nearly planar and has a back section that is higher than the back section of the first form of the seat accessory.
