What car has high seats and is easy to get into?

7 years ago

We would like to replace our car with a car that will be easy on my aging hips and frame. I want a car that has high seats and a very low sill at the driver's door. I am tired of struggling with my shoes getting caught as I try to slip my feet over the sill and needing to drop so low into the driver's seat. I don't want an SUV and I don't want a tiny car. Any suggestions?

Everyone, whether an oldster or not, has different body needs and quirks and mobility issues. There's no substitute for pounding the pavement, checking out different brands and models on your own and see what seems the most comfortable within your desired price range.

(I've never understood the appeal of unnecessarily large cars, trucks and SUVs. Watching cars on the road that can't complete a U-turn, can't park in a parking lot without taking up two spaces, crowding neighbors so that doors can't open, or sticking out into the aisle, or of a size or type that the driver is unable to maneuver safely, makes me scratch my head. I've worn a bald spot on the top of my head from what I've seen!) .

That's a tough one because my first response was a small SUV but then read you don't want an SUV.

Well, stay AWAY from sports cars. Getting into a Camero or Mustang is a challenge. It's like sitting in a bathtub.

I have a 2015 Nissan Altima. It sits really well, but I still think it's low getting in and out of.

I've had 2 SUV's so I really feel the difference when I went back to a car.

Maybe a Buick LaCrosse or Chevy Impala?

What about a Kia Soul. It's neither a car or SUV. My uncle has one and says the step in height for Grandma is good.

I agree with Pawprint, but can't comment on the Kia. We've had a Nissan Rogue for 8 years but the front seat is not adjustable and I had to sit on a cushion to get better visibility. We had to rent sedans following an accident. One was a Nissan Altima. I forget what the second one was but similar body, and both were miserable for getting in and out of - killed my knees. We now also have a 2017 Subaru Forester and love it. Front seat is adjustable (manual) and my knees are ever so thankful. Visibility is excellent.

Need easy recipe--harvested peaches and Dad in car wreck today

Carol, interesting that your dad went through something similar. I think God allows those things to happen (and keeps us protected from harm within them) for a purpose--maybe to let us know a tiny fraction of what He protects us from each day so we know how loved we are, and how dependent we are, though we sometimes think we're self-sufficient. Maybe different people get different messages, too. Still, it's all good. Thanks for the added info on the peppers/acidity. I'm definitely trying the recipe you've just posted, and I think I'll go with the variation, since I like peaches better than mangoes, and I have so many of them! I'm also going to try something else, but I don't know if it will work. I like the flavor/texture of the uncooked freezer jam, but I want it spicy. I think I might put the cooked habanero/orange mixture from the "Cold Mornings" recipe in the fresh peach freezer-jam recipe and then freeze it. It may work, or it may flop, but if it flops, I think I'd still be able to use it as a glaze. We'll see! Thanks again for all your help!

My oldest daughter did not sleep well as an infant, and I bought a noise machine at a friend's recommendation. It made a huge difference, and my daughter started sleeping much better. The book "the happiest baby on the block" also recommends white noise as it simulates the womb. I have now moved the noise machine into my youngest daughter's room, and my oldest daughter, now 4, no longer uses it. So she is not dependent on it. However, I did find it helpful to bring it when we slept away from home as it blocked out the noises of a new place and was a familar nighttime sound. The noise machine blocks out the noise of the dog barking, my older daughter yelling, my husband clomping down the hall. In the middle of the night, my younger daughter would probably sleep through all that without the noise machine. But in the morning, the noise machine makes the difference between her waking up at 6 or 7:30. As far as breastfeeding, I was kind of grossed out by the idea (for me, not anyone else). I decided I would try, and if it worked, great; if not, I would bottle feed. I went to a class prior to giving birth, and the one thing I remembered was that breastfeeding should NOT hurt. If it does, unlatch and relatch. At first, it would take numerous tries to get the latch right. But, I never had any issues with pain. I also used Gerber's NUK Gentle Moisturizing Balm, which is like a big chap stick. I liked it better than lansinoh as it was not so messy. Plus, it is not harmful to apply and then feed the baby. Anyway, initially nursing did not feel at all natural. But it worked out good for me--so easy and convenient. Our hospital offered a session with a lactation consultant which was very helpful. Good luck with whatever you decide!

A car seat that may help prevent deaths in hot cars

I saw this the other day, and my first thought was, what a silly, ill-thought design. I don't think it will be very effective. You turn the ignition off, it makes a noise. That's it? So every time you go somewhere, you can count on hearing a very annoying noise as soon as you turn the car off (to go with all the other annoying noises), because you can't possibly make it to the car seat to undo the baby before the noise starts. In behaviour sciences / learning theory, it's clear that alert sounds and alarms can only modify behaviour if there is a correct action to take to prevent it, in this case there is not. Not to mention, over time the possibility of becoming desensitized to the "going to happen anyway" sound. It all seems very frustrating. I think it especially won't be effective because people will return the seats / throw them in the garbage. The parents who care enough to buy this kind of seat are the ones who are most unlikely to forget their child. For the person who has similarly somehow forgotten the sound (perhaps gotten out of the car to get something out of the trunk first), this new seat doesn't do anything more for that child. If I were designing a car seat with built-in protection, I would put a pressure sensor under the seat, a high tech thermometer sensing the air temperature, both connected to a transmitter with gps location. If a child is sitting in the seat and the car is over, say, something like 90 - 100 degrees or so, it puts out an immediate signal to police so they can come save the baby.

How do we, any of us, really know the truth about what happens to this car seat over time? We know what we are told by those whose profits are rooted in the industry. I am not advocating putting our children at risk, but let us not be naieve about how manipulative lobbyists can be for a consumer prouduct. Having anxious parents continuely buying new car seats is very profitable. Singer sewing machine company started this back when they offered a trade in for your old machine when you bought a new one. The old machine was still good and they did not want you passing the machine down, so they collected them with trade in value and destroyed them. Amazingly , a number of them survived. This was an early marketing scheme. Please dont paint me as someone who would put any child at risk. And, yes, I do realize that sewing machines are not saving the lives of children. I am not advocating a cavalier attitude towards child safety. However, it is quite evident that one cant put total trust in any baby.child product . Just look at some of the recalls and law suites that have happened . Some awful things had to happen for some of these recalls to be enacted. But, it would not be the first time that an industry got a law enacted to its benefit. That is what lobbyists do. A good example is the seat being renedered as unsafe after a minor accident that did not involve the seat. As for the seat belts....we use the seat belts in our cars and dont give a though to the notion of them being in the hot car. Those things last forever....quite literally. I saw an article in the media this morning about the state of Maine and the efforts to shift the resposiblity of disposal and recyle to the makers of the products that pose so many problems. Maybe car seats need to be made in some other manner than they are currently or the producers need to be held accountable for providing a means of retiring the prouduct. It is not child safety that I am questioning. However, the fleecing of the general public can be nowhere as strong as it can be when a parents fear is part of the equation. That is one of the most compelling marketing incentives that exists. I dont believe, for one minute, that the marketing gurus have not figured that out and used it fully to their advantage. I shudder to think of the old way that kids rode in cars. We used to ride up in the back window when I was a kid. And, my kids had no car seats in the mid 70s. I am not saying it was as good thing . Clearly it was not safe at any speed. But, this way of going about it is unsustainable. We need a better car seat. We need the industry to do better. Our children are going to have an awful environmental lot to deal with. Both their old car seat and their poopy diapers will still be sitting in a landfill long after their child hood has passed, along with all the old juice boxes and plastic straws and plastic pouches that once held some artificially flavored yougurt of dubious value other than the fact that it had a licensed character printed on it. If it were just car seats that we are dealing with, that would be one thing. But, we are dealing with mountains and oceans full of waste of all manner. I really do think that we could deal with the more important things, such as this, in a much more effective manner if we were not so burdened with such frivilous consumption as we are engaged in. The whole world could live better with less.

My first thought was also an SUV. I have one and love it. It's a 2004 GMC Jimmy (not made any more). So easy to get into. Not too big, not too small. Plenty of leg room in the front passenger side. If I were to have to buy another vehicle, it would be another SUV. Cars are way too low for me. I like that I sit high enough to see most of what is around me. I can see further down the street to see what is coming up. And I don't feel like the big 4x4 trucks are going to run right over me.

How about a mini van? I have an aging Mazda MVP that is great for my aging bones, and I love that I can just swivel in my seat and my feet are on the ground. I don't know if Mazda still makes this model, so I will continue to drive mine as long as I can.

I have tried many SUV types and believe me, the sizeof the car doesn't indicate the ease of entering. Pay attention to the width f the door opening.

Also take a look at one of those "as seen on TV" things that you hook into the door frame that will aid you in getting out. Several friends of mine have them, and say they are very helpful.

Be sure to let us know what you decide on.

He rarely drives it. I had a Chevy Tracker and loved it. Up just high enough and comfortable seating. Hubby liked it, too.

We both would rather get up into something a little high than down into something low ;0) I've driven nothing but Ford Explorers in the last 30 years, am about to replace my third in the next few months....

But my mother was comfortable with her Ford Escape until she quit driving a year ago at 89. Recovering now from an osteoporotic fracture (vertebrae) she can enter and exit my sisters RAV most easily although does fine with my SILs Nissan Leaf.

Is there any chance you could reconsider the smaller SUVs? Test drive one?

At this point in my life, I find the heated and fully adjustable electronic seats are deal breakers for me. I wouldn't buy a car without those features and the next truck DH buys will have them too.

I have more problems getting into low vehicles. Many complain about how high my Hummer h3 is but with all the handles I have no problem hauling myself into it. I used to drive low to the ground sports cars my previous car was a Mitsubishi 3000 GT and before that I had Mazda RX7, several Corvettes. Today I would be in serious pain trying to crawl into those cars. I love having multiple adjustments at the touch of a button, really dislike manual seat controls, not easy for bad hands. I too would urge you to look at the smaller cross over suv types. I would make a list of must have items and good power adjustable seats would be at the top of the list along with ease of entrance.

Depending upon your budget, a number of the premium brands have vehicles with adjustable height suspension. Like some busses that 'kneel' when passengers are loading, you can raise or lower the suspension (and thus the vehicle height) while gaining access to the vehicle. Generally the vehicles are SUV's of varying size, but there may be some wagons in the segment too.

I drive a crossover. It's perfect for 5"1" me. I got it after years of driving trucks. It handles like a "sports car". Great turning radius, easy to park, sits four adults comfortable.

I feel like I'm in a bath tub when I drive cars. I don't care how luxurious they are.

We recently bought a new full sized truck. As cars are getting lower, trucks are getting higher. I don't mind stepping up but this is ridiculous. I'd need a step stool. DH is around 6"1". So we are getting the truck lowered a few inches. He is less agile than me and he will be able to slider right in sideways and I will have to step up slightly which is no problem.

Manufacturers are going to have to step up and change their designs for the changing needs of the population. Today we have an aging population that has trouble getting in and out of them and the flip side are the new child safety seat laws. Parents are having to buy larger vehicles just to be able to properly position two car seats/boosters. Those with more than 2 kids really struggle with having to buy over sized vehicles just to find a spot for the third seat or booster. Even with only a single car seat, rear facing until 2 means some taller parents have to give up front seat leg room unless they have a roomy vehicle. With new air bags to keep us safe now children are not supposed to ride in front seat until they are 10 or 12 in a some states. The air bags themselves pose a safety hazard for shorter or slighter built people.

Verrry interesting. I just saw an ad from a local furniture store touting a new brand of leather sofas and chairs that are 'supportive'. I immediately thought how smart that is, to appeal to an aging population. They were very pretty and quite modern in styling, but it was the comfort that was being emphasized.

The seats are high enough so I can see out, but they are not so high that I have to climb in. When I stand outside the Jeep, the seat is almost exactly at the same level as my behind. A perfect fit.

I really liked our last car, a Cadillac, but I had to fall down into it and then climb back up out of it. So I completely understand what you are saying about the level of the seats. Have you ever driven an SUV? Try it. You might like it.

First off, Escape, Forrester and the like are not SUVs, they're crossovers. Having hip issues I find them difficult to get in and out. They're designed for little people.

I'll second the recommendation for a minivan. I had a Dodge and now have a Kia. Nice height for getting in and out, you sit higher, seat height is good and having had hip surgery that's been great for me. Another thing to look for is the grab handle. I find it helpful. I like the size. Not too big, easy to park, maneuver, makes u-turns, yet it's big enough to be more comfortable and give better visibility. If you're looking for a status symbol, then you probably won't want one. If you want comfort, then they're worth considering.

I sure see a lot of Kia Souls on the road. My sister is considering one. A youtuber was talking about hers and how much she likes it and how surprised she is that she likes it so well. Her husband bought it and traded their Town Car and she was very upset about it but she says it's far easier to load/unload groceries and is as comfortable as the Town Car.

A friend has an Impala and I was really surprised how comfortable it was and how easy it was to enter/exit, however, it's very low to the ground which was a bit problematic. I just prefer riding a little higher but not looking for monster truck.

I used to have mini pickups and they too were a nice height and surprising easy to access. However there's not the options there were in the past. I haven't tried out the newer mid-sized pickups. I thought I'd really miss the pickup but I don't miss it that much since the minivan hauls most anything the pickup would and has the benefit of the hauled items will stay warm or cool and that's a big advantage.

As mentioned, the best thing is to get out and try some. What's comfortable for me, might not be comfortable for you.

We're looking at SUVs right now. I have to say if you are having trouble with low seats, I can totally agree since I currently have both a Ford Fusion and a Hyundai Santa Fe! The Fusion is a pain in the b**t to get out of easily, whereas I'm 5'6" (with short legs) and can slide in/out of the SFe without a problem.

I would agree with those that say check out the smaller utes - but also important are the height of the door opening, and how high the vehicle's ground clearance is. Subaru models tend to be high, for example, even on the smaller models, because they are aimed at serious AWD users.

My SFe is 7.3" on ground clearance. I would not recommend the Ford Flex; it's basically a mini-van. Unless you have a real need to haul 7 people regularly there is no reason to own it. I happen to love that boxy styling, but for 2 people it is ridiculous overkill. Best for families who are hauling a soccer team around, LOL.

We are currently looking at the Ford Edge and the clearance is slightly over 9". Getting into that car is definitely close to the 'pull yourself up' scenario for me. For my DH, who is 5'10", no problem. It's nowhere near as bad as a Nissan Titan, for example, but even without being told you know that Edge is taller than the SFe when getting into it, either as driver or second row passenger.

Sometimes ground clearance stats can be hard to find. The Escape has a 7.8" clearance. The Hyundai/Kia have 7.3". RAV-4 is 6.3". CR-V is 6.8". As others have stated, there is no substitute for actually seeing the car and sitting in it. No need to even take a test drive, if you don't want to.

The Ford Escape, Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV-4, Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue, Chevy Equinox, Subaru Forester, Mazda CX-5, and Hyundai Tucson all compete in this market. You should note that many smaller models are going to CVT trannies, and you may either like or dislike them. I live in an area with hills and I find the power lag is too severe with a small engine.

Don't dismiss U.S. mfgs. Due to the strong dollar, the price increases on Japanese and German cars are making a noticeable difference. The 2017 equivalent of my old Hyundai SFe costs $4K more than I was quoted on the top-of-the-line Ford Edge. Back in 2003 when I was buying the SFe, it was the other way around!

I would not recommend the GMC Terrain, Volkswagen Tiguan, or any Jeep or Mitsubishi model. The GMC is little different than the Chevy but priced higher, and the other three have very poor reliability records.

If you are going after a luxury level small SUV, the list on Kelly Blue Book is at:

"Due to the strong dollar, the price increases on Japanese and German cars are making a noticeable difference."

I think you have the effect backwards. The US dollar has been strong versus the Euro in the last few years so a German manufacturer benefits by getting more Euros when converting X dollars, compared to getting fewer Euros before. It's like a price increase, without a price increase in the stated dollar price. Also, Euro-denominated components sold to the US cost fewer dollars and so are cheaper (in dollars).

Don't forget that many "foreign" cars are assembled in the US and so have significant dollar costs that are unaffected by exchange rate changes. That, by the way, is why they're here, to partially reduce how exchange rate fluctuations can impact product profitability.

>>SantaFe have a "lip" on the sides of the seats?...With my hip replacements, I need a flat seat and am having a terrible time finding that.>>

No, I haven't seen any front bucket seats that are flat. Some of them are less molded than others, however. One mention that came up in numerous reviews on the Kia was a number of people found the side bolsters on the front bucket seats very hard and uncomfortable for long trips. Other people were fine with them - in fact, my DH found the Kia seats slightly more comfortable than the Ford, altho we think our old Santa Fe has better seats than any except the GMC and the long-ago Recaro-style seats on our Acura Integra.

I really miss that Integra; wish they hadn't stopped making it. Haven't liked any of the Acuras since (altho my sister has been happy with hers).

It's been interesting to test drive a number of different SUVs. The seats are quite different from one to the other, so you really do have to get out there and look at them. You might want to check the car review sites, however - a lot of times they have good photos of the interior and you could probably weed out models that wouldn't work for you.

But so far the only flat seats I've seen are on pick-ups that still offer front bench seating. Good luck in your searching, hope you find something.

EJFudd, I'm sure you're probably right re the dollar. Was just very surprised to find the Kia priced so high. Nice SUV, but not worth the premium. The Optima is worth a premium but not the Sorento, which is what we were looking at. At this point we're leaning away from the Kia/Hyundai line.

What car has high seats and is easy to get into?
