ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The Car/Shower Step is made from extra-strong polystyrene foam and weighs about 0.55kg / 1.2 lb. It has a heat-sealed waterproof cover with non-slip material on both the top and bottom.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?
It is designed to provide an additional 10cm / 3.9 in of height to assist shorter people when getting into high vehicles such as SUVs, and to help people step safely into a shower. The Step can have up to 330kg / 727 lb of weight standing on it.
HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
Using the Step with a Car:
- Place the Step beside the car door. The person steps onto the Step.
- The strap can be attached to the loop on the side of the Step. Position the strap behind the Step so it cannot tangle around the person.
- Once the person is safely seated, the carer can pull the strap to lift the Step without bending.
- The strap is optional and only needs to be used if bending is difficult. It can be removed if it is not needed.
- A Car Seat Slider is also available to reduce friction, making it easier to slide and turn onto the car seat.
Using two Steps in a Shower:
- The strap is usually not required for shower use.
- Place one Step outside the shower and one inside, next to the entry.
- When using in a shower, the Non-Slip material should not slip when there is weight on the Step. Do not cover the drain hole.
- When using on tiled flooring, as an extra precaution, we used some double-sided sticky tape/carpet tape to stop the Steps from sliding. Simply put a strip under the Step and press it onto the tiles.
- The Step can be prized off for cleaning underneath. After the tiles have been cleaned and dried, the double-sided tape may still be sticky enough to keep the Step in place.
- Remove the Step that is inside the shower periodically to clean underneath and prevent mold.
