MobilityBudget-friendly

Safety level: Fall-safety / weight-bearing equipment. Check fit and installation; consider an OT or physio assessment.

Warning: Car transfer aid: check it fits your vehicle (door latch type, window frame or seat shape) and its weight limit before buying. Remove or stow it before driving so it can't shift, get in the way of the controls or the seat belt, or fly around in a crash. An OT can help you practise car transfers.

About this product

A nylon strap with a 5-inch rubber grip that buckles around the top of a car's window frame, so you have a handle to pull on at head height when getting in or out. The strap adjusts from 7 to 16 inches, it fits either side of most cars, trucks and vans with a framed window, and the maker lists a 250 lb weight capacity.

Brand: Stander
Typical price (approx.): approx. US$14–17

Who it helps

This may help people who feel unsteady while walking or standing; and people who find getting up, sitting down or moving between seats hard.

Check before buying

Needs a door with a window frame (not frameless coupe windows). It's a pull handle, so it suits people with good arm strength; pair it with a HandyBar if you also need something to push down on.
Check the weight capacity, dimensions and installation requirements on the manufacturer's page.
Check return policies in case it doesn't suit you.

Limitations

This is safety equipment: a poor fit or installation can make things less safe, not more. An OT or physio can help you choose and set it up.
