Moving Doll in a Wheelchair is not Easy
I even have a patient lift.
If she were a real woman, I'd be charged with elder abuse.
That is why me and my sister put her in a nursing home.

Re: Moving Doll in a Wheelchair is not Easy
To move my doll around I usually use an old beat up office chair that doesn't have any arms. Lets you plop them down into the chair or heave em out without needing to avoid chair arms, etc.
Also helps if the pneumatic still works, getting the seat of the chair level with say, the bed you are putting her on/off helps a ton.

No, We put our mother in a nursing home. She's 90 years old with Alzheimer's.

Re: Moving Doll in a Wheelchair is not Easy
Hollywu has this issue with me too and I weigh about 70 lbs. Zebo, I like this suggestion to build up the seat. She already got a cushion for the wheelchair that is about an inch thick to pad it more for my bottom but I will suggest she try this. The other thing that she does is wear a weight belt when she lifts me and also, knee braces. We have been considering trying to have some sort of simple pulley installed over the bed to help making my getting in and out of the wheel chair easier but we need to find someone who knows what they are doing to help us do this. Right now she can't lift any of us due to a hurt tricep tendon which I know is bugging her but I keep telling her she's lucky nothing was torn. This injury wasn't even due to me but it reminds me that we have to think of alternatives to heavy lifting cause she will risk injury.Zebo wrote:I have been in this hobby 9yrs and this is a constant problem. I used to have a body D enhanced and it was #110, that's freaking heavy. I ended up selling it after I developed a back condition. I have been using wheel chair get my dolls around the house, I built up seat so that the doll sits very high and is much easier to get out of chair. Try this and I think you will find it better..
We saw this really cool invention of an exoskeleton for humans to wear to enable them to lift more but I think it's in development and likely if it was for sale it would be out of our price range. Great idea though as it could be quite handy.
Hope you can come up with some ideas to help in this area as a lot of us face this same challenge.
Hugs,
Rari

Re: Moving Doll in a Wheelchair is not Easy
Interesting concept Rari, and I only recently became aware it over at the Android Love dolls site. They mentioned that it was still in development, but their design is to add the ability to walk for a doll with AI, for those that already have an existing doll, or for whatever reason, won’t be able to purchase the upcoming fully mechanical version. I would imagine that a similar design to add mobility to the arms would soon follow.Rari wrote:We saw this really cool invention of an exoskeleton for humans to wear to enable them to lift more but I think it's in development and likely if it was for sale it would be out of our price range.

I think that it’s worthy of mentioning to the development team over at Real Robotix for their consideration.
