Question:
I am trying to find something I can use on the hitch of my Infiniti QX60 to help my 5 year old climb into the trunk, as this is the easiest way for her to access her car seat two younger siblings are in the second row and blocking an easy path to the third row. Would this step be easily folded down by a child without assistance?

Expert Reply:
Hey Amanda. So long as your Infiniti QX60 has a 2" receiver, then the Carr Hitch Mounted Step for 2" Trailer Hitches item # CARR183242 will work great. The step has a 5" long x 2-1/2" wide base and folds up when not in use.
I recommend using the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock item # e98882 to secure the step to your Infiniti.
What year is your QX60?
