I have a WL with a buddy seat and my girlfriend is having trouble getting her leg up and over the seat. This is more pronounced when she is on chemo as her hip joints hurt and she doesn’t have the leg extension to raise her leg high enough or the ability to rotate her hip joint much. Once she is on the seat she is comfortable, it’s just getting on or off.
The buddy pegs are mounted to the rear strap support rod which will not support much weight since the rod has no support out that far plus the buddy peg is only on the last ¼” of exposed thread.
What solves the problem is a small step about the same height as the left buddy peg located right where the derby is the widest. Unfortunately it is impractical to carry a small step around and there is nothing solid to mount a small step to in that area.
Anyone have a suggestion that can be easily implemented to resolve this?
