I have reached the stage where the steep stairs in my little terraced house are becoming almost impossible. I dread an urgent call of nature! I would be most grateful for any advice on what to look for/take into consideration from those who have taken the plunge. Are there any pitfalls to be aware of? Many thanks.

When choosing a stairlift, consider factors like the staircase type (straight or curved), weight capacity, and additional features like swivel seats or remote controls. Seek professional installation and opt for reputable brands with good warranties and after-sales service. User reviews can provide valuable insights.
