The car door
Is getting out of the car the hardest part of every appointment?
It folds down and rides along in the car. When you arrive, the lower handle gives you a steady push point as you rise from the seat.

Designed around the moment you stand up.
Everything about this cane is built for two jobs: getting you up from the seat, then getting you where you're going.
The second handle
A handle right where getting up is hardest.
The lower handle folds out from the shaft and sits much closer to seat height than a normal cane handle. Push down on it as you rise from the car seat, a dining chair or a low sofa, with your other hand on the chair arm or the main handle.
Once you're up, fold it flat against the shaft and walk with the main handle as normal.
Folding design
Folds down, so it comes along.
The shaft folds into 4 sections, compact enough to keep in the car or carry in a bag. That means it's with you at the appointment, the lunch and the visit, not leaning against a wall at home.
Unfold it, let the sections click into place, and it's ready.
Four-foot base
Four rubber feet instead of one tip.
The base spreads onto four rubber-tipped feet rather than a single tip, and a rubber shock-absorbing system sits in the shaft to soften each step.
Built into the handle
A light, an alarm and a soft grip.
The T-handle has a soft EVA foam grip, an LED light for dark car parks, driveways and hallways, and an alarm button that makes a loud sound to get the attention of people nearby.
Once you're up, you're fine. It's getting up that's hard.
The car door at the doctor's office. The low chair at lunch. The soft sofa at a friend's. The restroom with nothing to hold.
So a family member becomes the handle. And if outings have started to feel like something to get through, that's a completely normal way to feel.
This cane adds a second, lower handle to push on while you rise, right beside the seat. Once you're up, it folds away and the main handle takes over for walking.
Built for the three moments that wear everyone down.
For anyone who finds getting up hard, and for the family who help them up.
Something to push on that isn't a person.
If getting up means reaching for someone's hands every time, a second handle gives another push point, and gives the helper's back a break.

Another push point for the weeks when every chair and toilet feels too low.
Choose your setHow to use it
Four steps, and you're up.
Set the height
Standing straight with arms relaxed, the top handle should sit level with the wrist crease. Follow the supplied instructions.
Place it close
Stand the cane right beside the seat, base flat on the floor.
Fold out, push, rise
One hand on the lower handle, the other on the chair arm or main handle. Lean forward, push down, stand.
Fold away and walk
Fold the lower handle up and walk with the main handle as normal.
Practise a few times at home before the first day out.
Two handles. One for walking, one for getting up.
- A regular cane only helps once you're already standing.
- The lower handle sits closer to seat height, so there's something to push down on at the very start of standing up.
- Pushing down gives an extra point of leverage alongside the chair arm or the main handle.
- It's still a cane: a handle to push on, not a lift.

What it is, and what it isn't.
No big promises. Just what it does.
It is
- A walking cane
- An extra push point for standing from a seat
- Foldable for the car or a bag
- A four-foot rubber base
- A light and alarm in the handle
It isn't
- A lift. It gives you something to push on; you still do the standing
- A replacement for a walker, if one has been recommended
- For getting up off the floor
- A medical device that treats or prevents anything

How it compares to what you're doing now.
| This cane | Chair-mounted handle | Car door handle | A helping hand from family | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Works at home | Yes | On the chair it's fitted to | No | Only when someone's there |
| Works in the car | Yes | No | Yes | Only when someone's there |
| Works at restaurants, waiting rooms and friends' homes | Yes, it comes with you | No, it stays fitted | No | Only when someone's there |
| Also a walking cane | Yes | No | No | No |
| Folds to carry | Into 4 sections | No | Small, car only | Not applicable |
| Setup needed | Unfold and set the height | Fitted under a chair | Clips into the door latch | None, but it's someone's back |
To be fair: chair-mounted handles are very stable on the chair they're fitted to. If most of the struggle is one favourite chair at home, one of those may suit better.

Questions families ask.
How do I use the second handle?
Stand the cane close beside the seat with the base flat. Fold out the lower handle. Put one hand on it and the other on the chair arm or the main handle, lean forward, push down and rise. Then fold the lower handle away and walk with the main handle.
Will it help on a low sofa or car seat?
It adds a push point close to seat height, which is what's missing on most low seats. Very low or very soft seats are still harder to get up from, so practise at home first.
Can it help with getting up off the floor?
No. It's designed for standing up from a seat, not from the floor.
Will it fit your height and weight?

How easy is it to set up?
It arrives folded. Open out the sections until each one clicks into place, set the height as the supplied instructions show, and it's ready to use.
How sturdy is it?
The shaft is aluminium alloy and the T-handle is soft EVA foam over a plastic core. It's built as a walking cane with an extra push point for standing, not as a lift. Stay within the weight rating in the specifications, and if any part ever feels loose, stop using it and contact us.
Is it a good gift for a parent?
It makes a practical gift. You can send it straight to them by entering their address at checkout, and if they'll use it at home and in the car, the two-cane set covers both.
Does it stand on its own?
Yes. The four-foot base lets it stand by itself on a flat floor.
What are the light and alarm for?
The LED light helps in dark car parks, driveways and hallways. The alarm button makes a loud sound to get the attention of people nearby. When fitting batteries, match the + and − marks. If the handle ever feels warm, take the batteries out and contact us. Batteries: .
Is it a replacement for a walker?
