As I don't have my Traveling St. Angel with me that often,
I've chose to just turn the reg seat around when necessary.
I keep it in the reverse position
to use as a table & desk.
and don't turn it all that often.
( and as it faces backwards .... well you've seen the movie !!!  ;o)
(time, the final final frontier)
& Scott's right they're higher by about 2 inches
(and more comfy!)
I keep a gel seat underneath the seat cover too.
And really don't want all of that height any who.
& I even have 2 or 3 swivels kicking around.
