Carcaddie

Product details

The CarCaddie provides a convenient extra handhold for anyone who needs a little more support when lowering themselves into a car or rising from the seat. It can be particularly useful for older users or people whose mobility makes vehicle access more difficult.

Installation takes only a few moments. Lower the car window, loop the strap over the upper window frame and secure the buckle before adjusting the handle to a comfortable height. Once the window is raised again, the CarCaddie is held in position and ready to use.

Strong nylon webbing gives the aid a durable construction suitable for regular journeys, while the cushioned rubber handle offers a more comfortable surface to grasp. The buckle has also been shaped for easier operation, helping users fasten and release it without unnecessary fiddling.

Key Features

CarCaddie

The CarCaddie is a simple vehicle transfer aid designed to provide extra support when getting into or out of a car. It attaches around the upper section of the vehicle’s window frame, creating a secure hanging handle that can be positioned at a comfortable height before the window is closed.

Made from durable nylon and finished with a cushioned rubber grip, the CarCaddie can be particularly useful for older people or anyone who finds lowering themselves into a car seat or rising back out more difficult than it used to be.

Extra Support During Vehicle Transfers

Getting in and out of a car involves a combination of bending, turning and standing movements that can become challenging when strength or mobility is reduced.

The CarCaddie provides an additional handhold above the seat, giving the user something to grasp while entering or leaving the vehicle.

It may be especially helpful for people who:

  • Find standing up from a low car seat difficult
  • Want an extra point of support when sitting down
  • Experience reduced leg strength
  • Have limited balance
  • Prefer additional reassurance during transfers
  • Struggle with the twisting movement involved in entering a vehicle

Quick Installation Without Permanent Fittings

No permanent vehicle modification is required.

To fit the CarCaddie, lower the window, place the strap around the top of the window frame and secure the buckle. The handle height can then be adjusted before the window is raised again to hold the strap in position.

This straightforward setup means the aid can be fitted when needed and removed again without altering the vehicle.

Adjustable Handle Position

The hanging handle can be adjusted to suit the user.

Changing the strap length allows the grip to be positioned at a height that feels comfortable when transferring between standing and sitting.

This flexibility is useful because car seats, door frames and individual reach can vary considerably between users and vehicles.

Comfortable Rubber Grip

The CarCaddie incorporates a rubber cushion grip to create a softer and more comfortable holding surface.

A padded grip can be easier to hold than a narrow strap alone, particularly when the user needs to place some pressure through the hand while rising or lowering themselves.

The shaped gripping area also provides a clearly defined place to hold during the transfer.

Durable Nylon Strap

The supporting strap is manufactured from hard-wearing nylon.

This strong material is well suited to a product that may be installed, adjusted and handled regularly as part of everyday travel.

Its flexible construction also allows the CarCaddie to remain compact when it is removed from the vehicle.

Easy-Open Ergonomic Buckle

The fastening buckle has an ergonomic design intended to make opening and closing simpler.

This can be especially useful for people who have reduced dexterity or who find small, awkward fastenings difficult to operate.

The buckle secures the strap around the window frame while still allowing the aid to be removed when it is no longer required.

Compact Enough to Take With You

Unlike fixed car adaptations, the CarCaddie is small enough to keep in the vehicle or take with you.

Its portable design means it can be useful for regular journeys, visits with family or situations where the user travels in different compatible vehicles.

When not in use, the strap can be stored without taking up significant space.

Helpful Alongside Other Car Mobility Aids

The CarCaddie can be used as part of a wider setup designed to make vehicle access more manageable.

Depending on the user’s needs, other products such as swivel cushions, transfer aids or leg lifters may address different stages of getting into and out of a car.

The most suitable combination will depend on whether the main difficulty involves standing, turning, lifting the legs or repositioning on the seat.
