| Sit N Lift for Seniors |
|
 As baby boomers age, it is becoming more difficult for people to get into and out of vehicles. Now, automakers are responding by offering vehicles with built-in help, such as power seat lifts.
A new device called a Sit N Lift seat is being offered in General Motors' midsize vans, which allows easier access into the vehicle for anyone, including seniors and the disabled. The seat is a fully motorized seat which lifts and rotates the passenger - yet it looks like the other seats and fits without altering the vehicle. The seat comes as a dealer installed option - which means it comes with the same warranty as the vehicle and the cost can be wrapped into the same financing plan. The new seat is part of a broader mobility effort by GM, which includes looking at all aspects of vehicle design and functionality for ease of use. Courtesy of Medialink
