If you can get yourself into the chair, and hold yourself upright while you\u2019re sat down, it could be the right solution for you. But if you can\u2019t, a stairlift might not be what you need.

If you can get yourself into the chair, and hold yourself upright while you\u2019re sitting down, it could be a good solution for you.<\/p>\n<p>But if you don\u2019t have the mobility to get in and out of the chair safely, a stairlift might not be what you need. Our distributor&#8217;s stairlift advisors can give you advice about stairlifts, but they can also suggest the right appliance for you if a stairlift isn\u2019t a good fit. Give them a call to schedule your home survey. Their stairlift advisors will be more than happy to help you find the mobility solution that meets your needs.<\/p>\n<h3>What makes a Stannah stairlift safe and easy to use?<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s a very important question, but it means different things to different people. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve made sure our stairlifts meet the highest international safety standards. That way, they\u2019re sure to meet everyone\u2019s idea of what safe feels like.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>An easy-to-use seatbelt<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>One of the main safety features included on every stairlift we make is an\u00a0easy-to-use seatbelt.\u00a0It\u2019s easy to use because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>it clips in easily;<\/li>\n<li>you can fasten it using only one hand;<\/li>\n<li>it\u2019s a big buckle, which makes it easy to hold, even for arthritic fingers;<\/li>\n<li>the seatbelt is placed on the armrests so you don\u2019t have to reach behind you to grab it;<\/li>\n<li>the belt can be fitted to either side of the chair, which means that if one of your hands is stronger than the other, we can adapt the belt to your needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong>Simple controls<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>To make a stairlift move, all you have to do is press a lever in the direction you want to go in. The lever can be fitted to either armrest, whichever side is intuitive and comfortable. That means you can use either hand or wrist, whichever is most comfortable for you.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Easy access<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Your stairlift unfolds easily. Just flip the armrests down, lower the seat and press the footrest fold button and the footrest flips down automatically (availability of this feature varies among some models). That means no bending over at the top of the stairs and no help needed to get your chair set up. The armrests are sturdy, so you feel safe leaning on them while you get in and out of your chair. If you want even more stability, our wide-arm models come with even longer armrests, giving you added support.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Power swivel<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Power swivel is an option offering the added security of your chair turning automatically at the top of the stairs. Just hold the lever and the chair turns to place you squarely on your landing, meaning you can get out of your chair with the added security of the chair blocking the stairs behind you and you don\u2019t have to swivel manually. If you\u2019ve had a stroke and have limited mobility on one side of your body, this option could provide the extra peace of mind you need getting in and out of your chair.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Schedule your free, no-obligation mobility assessment today<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Before you get your free quote, one of our distributor&#8217;s stairlift advisors comes to your house to meet you.
