A device for assisting a person to climb up or down a stairway. A pair of frame rails extend longitudinally parallel with each other and spaced apart by a distance wide enough to receive a persons knee on a leg support member suspended by the frame side rail members and a transverse front member of the frame. Front legs of the device are shorter than rear legs so that the frame side rail members are horizontal when the device is on a stairway. A stabilizer member extends above the next step above the one on which the front legs are placed, and a handle is supported above one of the side rails to support the users weight during use of the device.
