A Guide for NZ Buyers
At Mobility Plus NZ, we often hear from people who find it harder to get in and out of cars — sometimes for years — without realising how much difference the right car aid can make. A little extra support can make getting in and out of a vehicle easier and more comfortable.
This short guide introduces the three most common mobility car aids available in New Zealand — including swivel seat cushions, handybar support handles, and seat belt extenders. We’ll explain what each product does, who it’s best for, and how to choose the right solution to make travel safer, easier, and more comfortable — whether you’re the driver or a passenger.
Why Use Car Aids? Safe, Easy Vehicle Transfers for Everyday Life
Getting in and out of a car is easier with a little extra support. A secure handhold helps you steady yourself when getting into or out of the seat.
That’s where mobility car aids come in. These simple, affordable tools are designed to make car transfers easier, safer, and more comfortable — whether you're the passenger or the driver.
✅ Car Exit Aid/Bar – Fits into your car door latch to create a solid, secure handhold for standing up or lowering yourself into the seat
✅ Easy Reach Seatbelt Grabber – Assists with lifting your legs into or out of the car, ideal if you have limited strength or flexibility
✅ Cubro 'Leg-Up' Leg Lifter – Extends your reach and makes grabbing your seatbelt easier without twisting or straining
Used together or individually, these aids reduce the risk of slips, strain, and falls. They’re ideal for everyday travel, hospital appointments, or just visiting friends and whānau.
At Mobility Plus NZ, we’ve selected the best car mobility aids trusted by Kiwis — with practical support from our experienced team. Whether you’re buying for yourself or a loved one, we’re here to help you stay safe and comfortable on the road.
