Great for getting in to my van if it is wet or my boots are muddy so you could slip. Also amazing for my mum who is disabled to get in and out of her car.
I have it attached to the middle head rest in my van and works a treat really strong and sturdy.

Hubby is a post-stroke invalid who always needs something solid to hold onto to help pull himself upright. Our newest van didn’t have any handholds so I got this thinking we could attach it to doorframe with window down.
It’s easy enough to attach. The problem is that it slides around & I can’t snub it enough to hold steady in one place. IF it slides, it’s not steady enough for him. Worthless!

The perfect item to use if you need extra help entering a vehicle. Easy to attach to door window frame, and adjust for proper use. Can be moved to another vehicle if needed. Wonderful invention!

I think that for many people this item has the potential to work pretty well depending on their age, medical condition and strength. However, in the case of my crippled and elderly mother it’s not so great and she doesn’t even use it.
My mother is very short (under 5 feet now due to her illness), crippled and not terribly strong. Due to her age and condition I am always right there to assist her should she have any trouble or slip – I’m a bit on the paranoid side when it comes to my mother’s safety and well being. Despite the ability to adjust the straps, she finds it difficult and uncomfortable to grasp to assist her in entering or exiting the vehicle. It just moves around too much for her. She actually prefers to grip the door frame itself as she gets into or out of the vehicle and has completely given up on the product.
I must also question the recommended positioning of this product on a window frame. Although it may work in some cases, it could potentially be a hazard if the window is not fully closed and can become annoying at times while driving.
I probably should have returned the product before the return window expired, but I kept it installed in my vehicle during the time it took me to move her and part of her household almost 1000 miles after my father had died. I kept it installed as a possible backup thinking that it might work out for her over time, but this did not turn out to be the case.

The product is sturdy, hold lots of weigh, and allows both drivers and passengers ease of exit from sedan vehicles where the floor of the vehicle is lower than the threshold of the door jam. An especially accessible need for passengers and drivers who have mobility issues with their knees and or who need a grip to pull themselves out of the vehicle and on to the pavement generally, Car Caddy Safety Grab Handle does the job and is a welcome addition to easily install on the window of your vehicle. Ergonomically assist exit from sedan cars. Reasonably priced and well thought out to function as an assistive device.

This bar is perfect. We have limited space in our bedroom. this bar just works wonders. It could be a bit more stronger but it is working great for my husband he has support by the bed and it gives more freedom getting around. Thanks for a good purchase. It was well worth the price too!

I have purchased this item twice. It arrived quickly both times. I like this product so much that I only deducted one star for it breaking after three years. My mom used it almost daily and she is not a small woman. It was also installed in her black car, in the heat and cold of Tennessee.
The price is so reasonable and the product is so helpful to my mother, I wouldn’t mind if they only lasted a year.
It is well made and easy to install. You roll down the car window and wrap it around the top frame of your door. then snap it in place. Then close your window and adjust it according to your needs.
It is very well made, yet the strap is thin enough to allow the car window to go all the way up. There is no gap that would give a thief easy access to your car.
I would highly recommend assisting an elderly person or with anyone with bad balance to install and learn how to use. It needs to be in the correct place to work safely.
When adjusting for individual needs, you can easily pull the door closed on yourself or injure your arm/shoulder when using it. Also, it takes some testing to utilize it in the best manner. If it isn’t in the right place, it can actually make it harder to get in and out of the car. You also have to adjust the length to allow enough reach without the caddie hitting the driver in the face or obscuring your vision while driving. (You could remove it and place it back each time you needed it. I would recommend marking the spot to reinstall it. You can’t get the best use of the product if it’s not in the correct spot).
When installed correctly, you actually use the top of the door frame to pull yourself in an upward motion when exiting your car. It is this pulling upward motion that allows you to lift or hold yourself without slamming the door on yourself. When entering your car, you can steady yourself with a bit more fluid movement as you are using it to close your door as well.
Once it is in place and you have gotten used to the body mechanics of using it, you will find it to be a tool that you can’t live without. My mom may not be able to continue to drive if she didn’t have the Stander Car Caddie.
