9 (nine) INCHES. It's a great step stool and has held up well! Hope it works for your mom!

The first step is nine inches from the floor, the second is eighteen inches. This might be a bit high for her but it you put a two by four section of wood on the ground first she would have to step only four inches and then five inches. Good luck.

That STEP to get up on the ramp is 5" tall. I have the same problem with my babies. One is smaller than the step and the others are too old. So, I bought the ramps built by the same people, Pet Gear. They go right on the floor and you can use the ramp folded in half or if you need a longer one to get up on your bed or couch, you can unfold it and use it full length. They are GREAT ! Of course you could always just add a piece of plywood cut to size and cover it with carpet and screw it on the bottom of the ramp so that they didn't have that first 5" step. Hope this helps.

It's as low as a regular table chair. If your person or you have knee problems it might be difficult to get up again. It's takes a moment to get used to the tripodness. A older person should use a walker with a chair but if your stubborn like my mom and not ready for that just yet this might work.

I gave this to my Mother so I can't go measure it, but I would guess the top of the basket is maybe 2 feet from the ground.

There was a instruction sheet .But as I understand from my neighbor it does not go up high and fall immediately.

It's about 20" to the first level. I just took mine apart last night because we are moving but I measures the best I could.

We returned the steps we purchased, when they arrived one of the handles was all rusted . I don't recall the height of the step from the floor , but it appeared to be what we needed . Just wish it was in better shape . Good Luck !

No. It only sits maybe a foot off the ground. If they can't jump that high yet you could always build a short ramp for then to walk up.

The top step is 20 inches However my greater concern is that the steps are more shallow than I think they should be and I feel would present a balance problem especially for an older person if placed too close to a wall. You can move it within 10 inches of wall.

My Dad used this item to move my Mom from car to wheelchair when she was unable to exit the vehicle following knee replacement. She is taller and heavier than the height and weight you've listed for your mother-in-law. If he had not had this transfer seat, he would have likely needed to have our local EMT's called to assist with her transfer. Also, when we had found this and were considering getting it, I had a cousin that saw it, and she exclaimed loudly to us, that "those things WORK and I know because I've used them with elderly patients".

it is very low to the ground not sure how many inches but for an older person it could be difficult.

From floor to 1st step is 8 1/2 inches. From 1st step to second is 9 1/4 inches. I find this very easy to use, unfolds easy and folds back up easy. We love it and my husband has knee issues also.

Almost 5". I have a small dog who is not allowed to use stairs or jump up and down at all either. Since my dog is so small, 12lbs, she tries to run/jump up this 5" gap before the ramp starts. As such, I can't use it with her without more training. But I think it may also be a bit to steep for her to feel like she can walk up instead of run. Maybe it wouldn't be an issue with a bigger dog.

I would say: Yes, it's lightweight and easy to carry on the trunk and/or back-sit. But first, you would have to measure the height of the car's floor to order the appropriate steps (one, two or three steps). The description of the item tells you their height. The first step is about six (6) in. from the floor and the second aprox. 12 in. Please, do this before ordering. Good luck!

It works great for me pushing my 85 year old 125 lb mother. She pushes it when she wants to walk and it is VERY light for me to pick up and put in the car. Hope that helps.

I would say it's about 15-20inches tall, but remember the foot pedals are really wide u got plenty of room.. And you will not be shifting your feet .. You' ll only be riding it like a bike .. U stand and u push down. The air cushions will help u rise .Yes , u could hold on to a chair or any furtniture that's high enough for u.. To start ,, a walker? I think it's too low in height..

The total unfolded length is 44 in. The rise between steps is 7 in. My truck is '01 2500 Dodge Ram, very high and yes the ladder does reach the ground. It has worked well for me.
