Parking Aids Stop Accidents
INSIDER TIP: Used as a system or individually, the Maxza Park Right system can make parking in your garage easier and safer.
 For those aging in place, who live independently at home, driving a car is an essential part of independent living. A trip to the grocery store, movie theatre, or to visit family can bring fulfillment and satisfaction to our lives—not to mention dinner and entertainment! Even under ordinary circumstances, parking can be a two-person job, but after a day of activity it can be particularly taxing, especially for those with arthritis or back pain that can make getting in and out of a vehicle a chore. Installed together as a system or used separately, Maxza's Park Right products can restore ease and simplicity to docking the car, be it after a big day out or a quick trip to the store.
The first component of the Park Right system is an innovative device called the Garage Lazer Park. The Lazer Park guidance system automatically activates when your car enters your garage, projecting a single red beam that allows you to align your car and park by sight from the driver's seat without a craning your neck or getting an outside opinion. Installation is of the Lazer Park is easy, requiring only the attachment of either special tape or screws and no new wiring. A Dual Lazer model is also available for family garages, featuring two independent laser guides.
 The second part of the Park Right system is a universal Parking Mat, sized to fit the wheel of any vehicle. When used with the laser park or as part of a pair, the mat gives you physical feedback, confirming your wheels are safely where they belong. It can be purchased in high-visibility yellow or a more low-profile black, and is backed by anti-skid tape that prevents it from shifting.
If you're a hobbyist or live in a home where children play, you know how tools or toys can end up in and around the garage area; Maxsa also offers a Convex Mirror that can be a life- and time-saver for backing out without damaging anything precious, including people or pets.
For an added level of safety, padded Car Door and Bumper Guards with reflective strips are also available as part of the Park Right system. All the products in the Park Right line come with a 90-day limited warranty and can be purchased through their website.
Refresher: Simple, easy-to-install Maxsa Park Right products can take the guesswork out of parking.
Extra Credit: Check out the Handybar, another inexpensive modification that can help make driving easier for those with back pain or arthritis.
