Mobility Step

My husband cannot step up into the house from the garage w/o having to brace himself into the door and manipulate himself up into the house even though the step is not very high. We got this and he is so loving how easy it is now for him to get into the house from the garage. This gives you just enough height to step up much easier and then step into the house. Not very tall, but it doesn't have to be. It turns out it's perfect for him. Handy to throw in the SUV after he steps up and light enough for me to grab it and throw it on the ground so he can step out easier too. Seems so simple and yet it is so helpful. It's very sturdy and can hold a lot of weight. Both of us were on it at one time and we are not light people. It's not real stiff either which my husband thinks helps him be more comfortable stepping on to it and away from it. Great deal all the way around.

UPDATE: After three years of GA weather, my two steps have seen better days. But they were a great investment, and I am ordering them again. They held up well. We ended up placing an outdoor rug over top of them because they were a bit slippery when wet, and the plastic bumpy top piece wore off after about 2 years.I still wish they made a step that would cover the entire length of the door opening. PS - the chipmunks love to hide under our steps! My elderly miniature dachshund was having trouble getting out the door, so I bought this 19x15" step for her. I really wish they would make a longer version as well (36 or 38x15") because I ended up buying a second step after my dog refused to use the single step, and was going to hurt herself trying to avoid it! After I got the second step and placed them side by side she had no other choice but to use it. They are working well, and they feel sturdy even when I step on them. However, because I'm using two, I noticed that they would slide apart sometimes, leaving a gap in the middle that the dogs could get their legs caught in, so I duct-taped them together. Good product, but it would be nice to have a few different sizes to choose from.

Oh My goodness! I am so happy I bought this product because it was getting harder for me to step up into the house with my bad knees. It is so much easier and less painful. I love this product , I should have bought this a long time ago. But now that I have two of them I'm happy I went ahead and bought them both. One for the front door and one for the back door. It's very sturdy and it hold up to 440 lbs. I'm not at that weight, but I wanted something sturdy and would hold up for a long time. You can use it to get into your truck or car if you have problems with your knees to where it's difficult getting into them. I'm tickled I bought these. If it's raining out this product has holes in the top so the rain goes through and does not stay on top causing you to possibly fall. I am extremely happy with this North American Health Wellness Mobility Step.

I recently bought two of these to help my 88 year old mom enter and exit from two sets of stairs we have (entryway at front door and to the garage area). They are very sturdy, safe steps and I would give them 5 stars except for one thing. I noticed as I moved the step that one of the little rubber stoppers had fallen out of its hole. There are four of them around the outer edges at each corner and then two at each interior support post for a total of 12 rubber stopper style feet. Losing one is probably not a major deal but several of them were loose! Since we will be moving these when not in use (too many kids in the neighborhood who are a little more curious than we would like them to be, not that they'd be mean or cruel about it) the few times I tested it out and moved it back inside I saw how these rubber feet can fall out so easily. Solution: Simple... I bought a tube of $3 Plastic flexible adhesive and put that on the removed stoppers for all four outer corners and that fixed the problem. I was going to use generic rubber cement but the hardware store I went to was out of simple rubber cement. So when you get yours (they are an excellent product, I WANT to give them 5 stars but I can't unless they include some rubber cement in the package) use some glue / rubber cement / plastic flexible adhesive on the feet and put them back in and in less than 30 minutes you will have a 5 star product that will make it much safer for you and your family to enter / exit using steps. There was only one rubber foot on the interior supports that was loose but the glue helped there too... So I used the glue on 5 out of 12 feet so far though later I will get all of them now that I see how well the glue worked. Sometimes even the best products out need a little personal touch to make them even better! I still very highly recommend this product and am very thankful they are available. It has taken a lot of fear out of my mom's mind when entering or exiting the house.
