Will this tip if help onto only on one side? My Dad has only the use of his right side. Also... is there slipping issues?

I tested it and it is very stable and can be used with one hand without tipping. It doesn't seem to slip. The back bar rests against the toilet tank keeping it from moving backwards.

We have not had any tipping problems, even just holding onto one side. But, if you put all of your weight on one side, then like anything else lightweight it could tip. Overall it is sturdy and stays put on our carpeted floor, has not tipped over for us and it really does help.

It doesn't slip really, it has rubber on the feet, but you might want to consider the kind that screws onto the toilet. My husband could only use his right arm also and it was a bit wobbly but really depends on his balance. With the four legs it's pretty stable and getting the height adjusted correctly helps too. hope this helps.

I tried using one hand with it and it seems to stay in place if pressure is exerted straight down. In other words, it doesn't seem to tip, but I wasn't putting all my weight on it. Also, it is not fastened to the toilet so I can't say it may not slide at some time. Overall, it seems pretty secure, but I don't know for sure how he would do with it.

no it is a very stable unit. At first my mom was nervous with it because since it is not bolted in it rattled a tiny bit. Does not slip at all and another plus is you can easily grab it to go to another home if you are visiting someone else's home (ex a holiday etc)

Jack makes a good point. When I started using mine I kind of had to find the feel for it and pushing your weight forward on the waist pad (while keeping your back straight) helps a little too. It's kind of like moonwalking in place hence his tip on not picking your foot up, just the heel.

No concerns about the possibility of the trailer tipping as long as you're on a somewhat level surface. HOWEVER--YOU should pull your trailer onto the Trailer Aid BEFORE you actually have to use it in an emergency. Tandem axles are not the same for each trailer and may have different suspension componenets. I actually use a 2 x 10 under my Trailer Aid to give me the correct clearance needed to get an inflated tire off the ground !! Notice that I said INFLATED tire.....if I were to use the Trailer Aid WITHOUT a 2 x 10 under it, I would then NOT have the clearance for an inflated tire !! These are also the best for doing brake and bearing maintenance. Good Luck No concerns about the possibility of the trailer tipping as long as you're on a somewhat level surface.

My mat slides a little, but the chair still stays on it and it doesn't go far, so have not worried about it. Maybe double sided tape in corners?

This was a gift for my daughter but her and I have both used it. Neither of us have had any problems with the balance, and have always used with one hand without difficulty.

No, the attachment point is too low for him to tip the bike. He could pull it forward enough that it is no longer perpendicular to the wheels but that doesn't keep it from working

I have only used it on my right side, however i am sure you could use it for either side.

Rough side up is how I placed mine. Makes sense to me to have traction for moving around in an office chair. The mat doesn't slip on the floor.

It might tip. If your small appliance is slight heavy and towards the front, I would be very careful.

bottom arms can't handle 38 pounds. Top arm, maybe. Tipping forward probably less of an issue than tipping sideways. If you put 38 pounds on the other side, might work. might.

I have no problem with it slipping once the Velcro is strapped down! This is one of the best inventions ever!

I haven't had any problem it doesn't shift or fall or slide at all, but my dashboard has some texture, if yours is very smooth or has a very steep slope it might, maybe?

I don't know but would love to know the answer. We are having the same issue! Ours only slips off the right side.

Hiya, Hmmm. I think that would depend on how steep of an angle. The "clamps" on this are straight, so if you're really depending on this for full weight support, I'd be hesitant to put it on unless the angle were slight (&lt; 10-20%)

I function on a senior level. I have not noted problems with the chair wanting to tip. I think it would require a significant effort to do that. The legs are fairly wide and seem stable. I guess if you were extra heavy it could happen.As with any chair one could slide off, but I don't see that is very likely here either.

I think it might slip. Our branch is not horizontal either, but we have a smaller branch coming off of the bigger branch forming a "Y" that keeps the strap from slipping.

I have found that both sides are useable. It helps that the mat doesn't slip easily on the floor thereby providing for stability. Let's both enjoy our mat for a long time.
