About the solution
The tool consists of an extendible stick, with a soft handle and two hooks. The first one for in the wheel, the other one for in the door handle. It automatically assumes the correct length by the spring system inside.
“So I ended up talking to my grandmother. After some observation, I learned that getting out of a car is not always that simple for elderly. Many people have trouble getting out. The car is too low, the handles are too small... I often see people struggling in such situations and this is why I have chosen this issue to continue with”, the inventor explained.
The innovator started prototyping, testing with people getting out of the car, and with other products.
“The final prototype (the Grip'n'go) has become an extendable stick with two hooks. One for the door handle and one for the steering wheel. Inside there's a spring that always makes the Grip'n'go spring back to its original length and makes it fit in every car. In the middle is a ridged handle that ensures a perfect grip”, the designer observed.
The product is still a prototype, and the design is not available on the market.
