Have you ever hopped into a friend or family member’s car, only to be… surprised by how difficult it was to get out of that car…? Doesn’t make sense, getting in wasn’t easy, I almost simply fell in…almost. Getting out, now that is a different story some cars, especially the more modern cars are either too low to the ground…
or to high off the ground to easily get both in and eventually our of the car. There are a handful of options that are available to aid those that are struggling “climbing” out of a vehicle; they range from a handgrip to a hydraulic seat and everything in between. Over the next few weeks we are going to take a look at a few of these options.
The first option we are going to explore is a great product known as the Handybar; this is a great innovative product that makes both exiting and entering a car safer. The Handybar Mobility Handle is a tool designed to provide extra support for you when entering and exiting your vehicle. Equipped with a seat belt cutter and side-window breaker for emergencies, the Handybar is perfect for people with limited mobility due to recent surgery, back or leg problems and pregnancy. Use the car door Handybar in vehicles that are low to the ground, as well as trucks and SUV’s. The Handybar car aid is a useful tool for the elderly, helping them to avoid strain while leading a more independent life. Simply insert the end of the Handybar Mobility Handle into the striker plate on the car door pillar and you have a secure handle to help lift yourself up with. Best of all, the Handybar can be used on either side. The Handybar is a great addition to your glove box and a great safety tool if you transport anyone who has difficulty jumping in and out of the car.
