While this method may make it easier to get in and out of the car, it can also 
add a danger since the person remains sitting on the plastic during the trip. 
The plastic bag can cause potential danger if the driver hits the brakes harder 
than usual.......the person sitting on the bag may slide forward (not bending 
at the waist, but essentially sliding under the seat belt).  So, if you choose 
to use this method, do so with extreme caution!

This is one almost too easy, but someone in our PD Support group suggested
using a large plastic garbage bag over the car seat to aid in the PWP sliding
in/out of the vehicle. Our van has leather seats and it works quite well. I
would guess it would help also on fabric seats.
