About the solution
Sindy developed this invention after her father asked her to come up with a way to get his disabled neighbor into the car.
“My dad was being called next door to help, so he asked me to up to came up with an idea to help get his neighbor into the car”, the inventor explained.
The harness, available in several sizes, was first created in 1995, and has been available online for sale since 2009, being less expensive that other systems for this purpose on the market.
