Wondering if anyone has already installed (DIY or professionally done) any running boards or step bars accessories to their Carnival?

I have elderly passengers that are having trouble with the step-up onto the rear seats. Any suggestions or examples would be helpful. I haven't seen any official Kia accessories in the USA for running boards, but looks like there are some online - not sure about quality or ease of install for a newbie.

I don't believe Kia released Running boards for Carnival in USA/Canada.

I see few after market options although not sure how their quality is. Ex: https://www.amazon.com/Pair-Running-Boards-Carnival-Platform/dp/B08YX2NJ1V

Yeah I've seen these. I've also seen the led and automatic version which is peaking my interest but I want some reviews from people that have done it already as I'm skeptical of quality or if it will be a tricky install

I find any type of running board difficult to navigate for elderly or those with mobility issues. Try a simple portable box or step that has more tread width and depth than a running board. That has worked very well in my experience
