I bought this for my mum after watching her struggle to get out of the car more and more. She hated asking for help and would always grab the door or my arm to pull herself up. Now she keeps this in the side pocket and uses it every time. It's given her back a bit of independence, and it's one less thing for me to worry about.

I never realised how much getting out of the car had become a chore until I started using this. Bad knees and a stiff hip meant I'd have to rock myself forward a few times before I could stand up. This handle gives me something solid to push off, and I get out in one movement now. Small gadget, but a huge help.

Dad is stubborn and didn't think he needed it. After the first day using it he admitted he should've had one years ago. He says it takes the pressure off his knees and makes getting out of the ute much easier. If you've got ageing parents, just buy one. They'll probably pretend they don't need it until they try it.

My husband and I both use this every day. We both have arthritis, and getting in and out of the car was becoming the hardest part of going anywhere. We keep it in the centre console so whoever is driving can use it. It's sturdy, feels safe, and we've recommended it to several friends already.

I bought this for my nana after she nearly lost her balance getting out of my car. She was always trying to pull herself up using the door, which never felt safe. This gives her something secure to hold onto, and you can see how much more confident she feels now. Such a simple idea but it makes a real difference.

At 78, little things become big things, and getting out of the car was one of them. I have a replacement knee and not much strength left in my legs, so standing up wasn't easy anymore. This handle gives me the leverage I need without putting all the strain on my joints. I wish someone had shown me this years ago.
