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.

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

Check your car has a U-shaped striker held by two bolts or screws; it will not fit a single striker bolt. Make sure it doesn't press on a door light switch, and remove it before closing the door.
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.
