Hi Jen,
Firstly nice to see someone local, I am over in West Lothian. Your sliding forward could be to do with the way your chair is set up, the chair should be set up with what is called bucket, this is where the back of the seat base is lower than the front, this means that your butt is deeper into the seat at the back this should prevent you from sliding out.

You need to ask your doctor about getting your chair properly fitted to you. i move sideways as well as slide forward. I've had my chair orthepedically corrected.
I believe the new Roho seat stopped my sliding forward. My chair tilts in space and reclines, also. This is a great advantage.
Best of luck,
john

Try getting a piece of DYSON to sit on. It stops slipping.
