Jury is still out. We'v e tried the board to transfer our disabled daughter from wheelchair to bed or chair in the house. Worked fairly well. Tried to use it to transfer from wheelchair to car and that was a bust. Couldn't get it positioned properly to make the transfer without endangering the person using it. Gave up due to fear of it coming away from one end or the other and the person falling. Not sure I would trust it to make these transfers. Our daughter is not a terribly large person so not sure it would work at all with a larger disabled individual. Our daughter is 5'3' and not heavy. I couldn't really recommend this for transferring a disabled person. We will continue to test it out. Hoping with time(and more experience) it might come in handy.
