Hi, my family and I are new to Germany although we dont live in Berlin I an looking for friendly advice regarding a disability rise and recline chair. Does anyone know the german phrase for this and do you know where we could purchase one urgently. I dont know where else to look now and am desperate for this chair. Please help....

I'm sorry, I don't know the phrase either but I would have thought it is some sort of "Behindertenstuhl". There is some information on disability in Germany here which might be of some help: http://berlin.angloinfo.com/information/32/disabled.asp

Thank-you Louise, its nice to know these messages do actually get read.

I just asked my German flatmate - he says "Behindertenstuhl" too - the rise and recline he just called "Sonderfunktionen" - special functions.

Thank-you both sooooo much!! Big hugs x x x
