Handybar is an Affordable Way to Help Seniors In & Out of the Car
INSIDER TIP: Assist a senior’s entry and exit from a car with Handybar, an easy-to-use and inexpensive product that provides seniors an extra handle to grip.
 Handybar, which can help seniors enter and exit a car easily, requires no installation or vehicle modification to work. All you need to do is place one end into the door stroker plate—the U-shaped latch that is located alongside the car door seam—and grip the handle. The door stroker plate’s purpose is to withstand a side-impact collision and, as such, is a very sturdy piece of your car’s hardware. The Handybar works by allowing two points of contact: both the interior door panel and the Handybar can have weight placed on them while rising from or coming into a seated position.
The Handybar can be exceptionally helpful for:
- cars which are low to the ground
- SUVs that ride higher up
- seniors with arthritis
- seniors with back, hip and/or knee problems
- anyone currently recovering from an accident or surgery.
The company even has a Check Fit section, complete with photos, so you can judge if the product will work with a particular vehicle model. Handybar also performs double duty; it can both cut a safety belt and break open a window should you be trapped in your vehicle as the result of an accident
