I quickly found out after getting our '14 Sienna in April that mostly older relatives had difficulty climbing into the van and that a six-footer like me could not begin to reach the entire top of the van to towel it off after a car wash.
After I snagged my wife's fixed Rubbermaid step stool out of the kitchen, she found a neat folding step stool at an Ace Hardware here in Kansas. Strangely, it carries no brand mark but maybe that is a convenient way to avoid product liability (e.g. injury) issues. It has been perfect for our needs.
Here are photos - it fits perfectly in the luggage area space meant for storing the middle row center seat in eight passenger Siennas.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the folding step stool cost a little under $15 and is rated at 300 pounds.
