Lightweight Roll-in Shower & Bath Chair - Showerbuddy SB7e Foldable Design

gymdeuce: Chair meets or exceeds the daily rigors of cleaning, showering, drying and dressing to assist in helping my parent. Locking/unlocking wheels with a toe tap, rolls smoothly and easily, turns 360 degrees in the walk-in shower! Light weight, 20lbs, very sturdy, does not flex or wobble with parent in chair when moving! Throw a towel over the chair, move out of shower and complete drying, with minimal puddling!
The draw backs, seat is tall, using the adjustable feet will solve if rider will comply! The seat position is very straight up/down and this position compresses the bottom into the removable cutout in the seat, cushion is about 3 inches and soft which allows bottom to slide too far into the opening which will cause discomfort when not centered. The solution would be to put a firm ring on top of the cushioning and then the waterproof cover stabilizing the area?!
The locking wheels and the sturdiness outweigh the height and possible seated discomfort! Delivery was on the earliest date of the delivery window, about 5 days from ordering!
Delighted with the chair makes the whole cleanup cleanup dressing much much EASIER!

RedRed: This item is worth every penny and because it is a multi use item it actually saves you money in the long run. I’ve been taking care of my elderly father for a few years now and through his decline we’ve needed to make changes and add geriatric items to help assist him. I really wish I knew about the shower buddy chair years ago. I would have saved so much money. My father is now almost 94 and can’t even walk a few feet with his walker to get to his bathroom so with this new chair I can lift him out of bed and wheel him right to the toilet then straight to the shower. No more need for the handicap chair rail around the toilet (which is terrible with company because I have to hide everything) and I was able to get rid of the raised toilet seat and the shower chair. This is a game changer for all of us in the house actually and because it’s only one item, it takes up less space! Also makes life so much easier for the caregiver we have during the day because it’s become a safety hazard for one person to lift him and walk with him to the bathroom. He was needing two people now but with this shower buddy we can wheel him everywhere; even acts as a...

Good MaGood Ma: So glad I took a chance and purchased this shower chair. It has made bathing my young adult daughter with cerebral palsy so much easier. Previously, I had a PVC shower chair that was hard to clean and collected water on the inside. I had to pry the wheels off to let the water drain out or else old water would build up. This chair is solid but surprisingly light weight. The wheels roll exceptionally well even over carpet. The brakes work great and are easy to access. The seat is well padded. The ability to easily break it down for travel is a bonus.
I added nylon webbing straps to the chair that buckle across her chest. I have always done this to her shower chairs for added safety. The only negative is that I wish I could adjust it one or two notches shorter. I am 5'3" and it is difficult for me to pull my daughter back into the chair from behind far enough so that her back rests properly in the chair. Otherwise, out of the four shower chairs my daughter has ever had, this one is the BEST by far.

allaboutthedogs: This is a fabulous shower chair, incredibly well built and beautifully designed. I took a chance on an unreviewed product because the company's website and you tube videos impressed me. They make a variety of high end equipment well regarded by professional PTs (all of which is a lot more expensive than this new model).

While it's designed for travel, I'm using this shower chair permanently at home. I'm fortunate to have an extra large shower so leave the chair as-is in between uses but the fact that it easily folds to fit smaller spaces (and for that matter disassembles easily and quickly) should be a major plus for many families.

I managed to misplace the very clear assembly instructions during unboxing, yet still put it together in 3 minutes flat. It feels rock solid and handles like a dream.

To my surprise, even with Mom in the chair it glides over the medium shag carpet in my bedroom. The wheel locks are intuitive and completely trustworthy. The wheels move so well that even on a level surface, locking is important when entering / exiting.

The seat is substantially padded and while waterproof, is not especially slippery. The...
