Whether you’re recovering from surgery, pregnant, nursing an injury or just need some help, having items on hand that can make it easier to get from point A to point B can make a big difference in your quality of life. Simple movements like getting out of bed, off the couch or into the car can require a Herculean effort for some people. Luckily, there are products out there that can assist with these kinds of tasks, like this simple handle that makes getting in and out of cars easier and safer.

Those of us who experience mobility issues of any kind can greatly benefit from a simple, small device like this one. It’s as functional as it is portable and discreet. You can leave it in the glove compartment or stash it in your purse, making it easy to store and carry around.

The car door handle is made of high-quality materials, including forged steel that can support up to 400 pounds. It’s designed to be rust- and corrosion-resistant, durable and long-lasting, making it well worth the investment. The handle has an ergonomic, spongey sleeve that reviewers say is cushy and lightweight, so you won’t hurt your hand no matter how hard you press down on it.

It’s also surprisingly multifunctional. It has a hidden blade that can cut through a seat belt, and it can even break a window in an emergency situation. Everyone should have one of these in their car! Reviewers noted that this is definitely not just for older folks; even those without mobility issues should have one of these in their car for peace of mind. It’s “extremely solid”, reliable and a “game changer” for people with bad knees and backs.
