The restroom situation is not really broken at all. Think not only of the user of the chair, but the primary carer. This eliminates a large portion of the manual handling. Yes you still need to maneuver clothing, but you don’t need to shift the user from the chair to the toilet, and then return them from the toilet to the chair. If you can eliminate large portions of the manual handling you improve the quality of life for all parties. Though given the suggestion of price, its not an elegant solution yet, as families with disabilities are the most financially stressed, as their disabilities cost them in medical bills, the primary carer often has to stop working, and they often have to pay for modifications to home and vehicles, so anything too far out of the ordinary price range is merely a nice theoretical device and not very practical at all. Thumbs up for thought though.
