I’m not elderly, but sometimes when I first awaken, I’m a little unsteady going down the stairs. I can imagine how much harder it would be if you were older and/or handicapped. Really amazed by the simplicity of this aid. Good for her! This is sheer brilliance. I’m not elderly, but sometimes when I first awaken, I’m a little unsteady going down the stairs.

Going up the stairs will be clearly easier, but coming down..i don`t know, look at the video you can clearly see it is unconfortable, difficult, and pretty dangerous. If you`re elderly, the last thing you want is dieing from coming down the stairs. I don`t want to sound like i`m giving medical advice but, i really am concerned about this contraption.

Old people definitely could use some help climbing the stairs. This seems like an affordable option that is still very safe. I just wonder how many times the person would forget to bring the aid back down to the bottom of the stairs. Great product Ruth! Old people definitely could use some help climbing the stairs.

Think there's a way you can have two stair steadies attached to the handrail in case there are two people living together in need of the device? I think this is a brilliant idea.
