HandyBar Car Transfer Bar

Very cleverly designed gadget for help with getting in and out of any car. It was recommended by an Occupational Therapist when I was recovering from a broken hip.It easily fits into the door frame then easily stows in the door pocket so the door can close.It’s sturdy, comfortable in the hand , very easy to use and to transfer from one car to another. It gave me access to cars with low or high seat when my hip was very sore and stiff. I would definitely recommend it.

We bought two of these for aging parents, and they really are very helpful. Sadly, one of the cars, A Peugeot 3008, has a mount which does not allow the bar to be used as it was intended, but we have kept it for use in other cars. It is very heavy and sturdy, and can be kept in the door pocket when not in use. It also includes a window smasher, and a seatbelt cutter, for use in accident situations. I would recommend this for any car, and we may get one for our own car for when we are transporting family who can avail of it.

Great quality and a nice idea, however it may not help depending upon the support the user needs. My Mum does find it quite useful but also finds it can get in the way of getting out of the car (maybe she just needs to get used to it more - early days).

I recently purchased one of these for my very elderly, stroke disabled Mother. It has transformed our lives (O.K. just the getting in and out of the car thing - but all of you carers know what I mean!) Then I had cause to purchase a second one as my husband had leg surgery that requires him to be non weight bearing for twelve weeks. This product is brilliant, no more groping filthy car doors, no more unsteady exits from vehicles, no more undignified, messy hauling out into wheelchairs or onto crutches. So easy to use, so stable, cannot recommend it enough, it does exactly what it says it will, has fitted every vehicle (from large pickup to tiny 2 door and is simple enough for an 85 year old to use. Brilliant.

A very handy item which assisits those with reduced mobility when getting in and out of the front passenger seat. It will fit most cars, but make sure that the fixture attached to the door pillar has the "loop" which the curved metal end has to pass through. The bar can be positioned "in-line" with the seat or at right angles - the latter position is especially helpful when someone is trying to get our of the car, because it gives support without impeding movement. All in all, a worthwhile buy.

Great concept. Unfortunately, when installed in my Vauxhall Meriva, there was very little of the bar's length available for use because of the front edge of the car's back door. Poor old dad would have been trapping his fingers to properly grip this handle, and it just doesn't sit right if mounted pointing towards the front of the car so isn't stable enough to provide the intended support.Sadly, I had to return this item for a refund.

The handybar is a secure solid stable fit in the striker plates on both my 2015 BMW 5 series Touring and my 2016 MINI Clubman enabling me to give elderly neighbours lifts to events in and around the village without the struggle to get them in and out of the car. The metal hook is designed to fit into the striker and remains clear of the door posts on both cars so there is no risk of damage to the cars bodywork/paint finish. Although more expensive than rival brands the handybar is solid and well designed so I am pleased with my purchase.

My husband is disabled this item is very handy now and makes it a lot easier for him...
