Is there anyone out there with information on helping to put your LO in the car? I have an Honda Pilot and it's getting harder to put mom in. She has ALZ, plus arthritis in her back/neck, her feet are turning in and her legs are growing weaker. I can not sell my car. I've seen portable devices that hook onto the metal bars between the door and the car but those are $6,000. Any help would be appreciated.
There are all types of after market items that are made for things like this but today's vehicles may not be able to accept them.
I had trouble with Luz getting into and out of our minivan. So I built a step/platform for her to step onto that raised her just over two inches and really helped her. For her it had to be low since she had trouble steping higher than about 3 inches. It was a full platform not just a little piece of wood. It is big enough for both of her feet to stand on and regain her balance.
You might be able to find a carpenter or handy man to build something similar. If you need a larger one it probably should be made to flod up so yucan put it into the vehicle.
Also check with the vehicles dealer to see if the hand holds can be installed to help her pull herself a little.
Best of luck to you.
