XL-Seat by Adapt Solutions – Wisconsin
Vehicle Transfer Seating for Easier Entry and Exit
The XL-Seat by Adapt Solutions is a vehicle transfer seat designed to make entering and exiting a vehicle easier for individuals who have difficulty transferring directly into the original driver or passenger seat. The compact transfer board folds down from the vehicle’s door opening, allowing you to transfer onto the board before being raised to the original vehicle seat.
Once seated on the XL-Seat, the retractable support arm helps provide stability and balance as the system lifts you to the vehicle’s original seat. You can then transfer onto the original seat while retaining its factory features, including seat adjustments, reclining functionality, and compatible power or heated seat functions.
The XL-Seat can be installed in the driver or front passenger position of compatible minivans, pickup trucks, SUVs, and select crossovers. It mounts to the vehicle’s original seat floor bolts with little or no vehicle modification, subject to installation requirements.

What Is the XL-Seat by Adapt Solutions?
The XL-Seat is a compact powered transfer seating system that helps users move from outside the vehicle onto the original vehicle seat.
The transfer board folds down when the vehicle door is opened and can lower to the height of the rocker panel or vehicle floor. It can be stopped at different heights according to the user’s transfer needs.
After transferring onto the board, the user can use the retractable support arm for additional balance while the XL-Seat raises them to the original vehicle seat. The system is designed to preserve the factory seat’s functionality rather than replace the original seat.

Transfer Onto Your Original Vehicle Seat
The XL-Seat is designed to allow users to transfer onto a board outside the vehicle before being raised to the original vehicle seat.
After opening the vehicle door, the transfer board folds down and lowers to a suitable transfer height. Once seated on the board, the user can use the retractable support arm for additional balance as the system raises them toward the vehicle seat.
The user then transfers from the XL-Seat onto the original seat, allowing the factory seating features to remain available.
Keep Your Vehicle’s Original Seat Features
One of the key features of the XL-Seat is its use of the vehicle’s original seat. Instead of replacing the factory seat with a dedicated transfer seat, the XL-Seat raises the user to the original seating position.
Depending on the vehicle and installation, the original seat’s features can remain operational, including:
Seat adjustment functions
Full seatback reclining
Power seat functions
Heated seat functions
Specific functionality should be confirmed during the vehicle compatibility and installation assessment.
Adjustable Transfer Height
The XL-Seat can lower to the height of the vehicle’s rocker panel or floor. The board can be stopped at different heights according to the user’s needs.
This adjustable positioning allows the transfer board to be configured for a range of transfer situations. The appropriate height depends on the user’s mobility, transfer method, and vehicle configuration.
The transfer board features a vinyl surface with slight cushioning to support a more comfortable transfer. It is also removable to help accommodate different drivers and provide easier access to the vehicle.
Compact Design and Installation
The XL-Seat is designed to be compact while providing a powered transfer solution. It can be installed in the driver or front passenger position of compatible:
Minivans
Pickup trucks
SUVs
Select crossover vehicles
The system installs into the vehicle’s original seat floor bolts with little or no modification to the vehicle, depending on the application and installation requirements.
A professional compatibility assessment is recommended before purchase to confirm that the XL-Seat is suitable for the vehicle and desired seating position.
