Abstract
The present invention relates generally to an extendible and retractable hand hold device for use on golf carts and other transportation vehicles by children and smaller adults to add increased stability and safety. The extendable and retractable hand hold device is securely mounted to the roof of a typical golf cart. The hand hold device has a graspable handle on one end, a length-adjustable shaft and a hinge on the other end. The hinged end is further connected to a mounting plate for securing the device to the roof of the cart. The device is rotatable downward from a stored position where it is flat along the underside of the roof, to an in-use position where it is extending downwardly from the roof to a position that is reachable by any size golf cart user or occupant.
