The MedMobile bathtub transfer bench allows an easy transfer from your wheelchair to the bath seat, thanks to its rounded end, which makes this transfer more comfortable. For elder persons or for those who suffer from leg disabilities but do care for their privacy, this transfer bench can be a great aid in making them relatively independent, at least in a few private areas of their life. It will also ease the caregiver’s task, as you have to be quite strong in order to be able to transfer a 200 pounds person from the wheelchair to the bath without additional help. The MedMobile bathtub transfer bench has a highly flexible 24” x 15” seat that can be adjusted with 1” increments from a height of 16 1/2” to a maximum of 20 1/2”. One of the features that I like is the possibility to assemble the seat back for either right or left had applications, whatever suits you best. I’m left handed, therefore I appreciate very much when manufacturers care about this tiny buy important detail. The aluminum frame of the MedMobile shower chair is sturdy enough to support up to 250 lbs weight. The rubber feet offer an excellent grip on the bath tub floor, for increased stability when wet.

Carex Round Shower Stool

CLICK HERE TO BUY CAREX SHOWER CHAIR

The Carex round shower stool is suitable for small bath tubs, thanks to its diameter of only 13”. If you only need a little help with your shower, this stool is an excellent choice. It is provided with rubber tips that grip very well to the bath tub floor, therefore preventing you from sliding. Its adjustable aluminum legs allow you to set the shower stool at the most suitable height for your case. Although the Carex round shower stool has quite a sturdy construction, is suitable for persons weighing up to 250 lbs. As I see it, that’s more than enough, as it’s less probable that if you’re that heavily overweight you’ll manage to accommodate yourself on the 13” diameter seat. This stool is white, so if you have sight troubles, be careful when trying to sit, as you may get it wrong and harm yourself seriously. The Carex round shower stool is available for a price which falls in the $35 – $42 range, not very expensive if we think at the independence it offers you in your bathroom. For increased safety in use, you could additionally buy some suction cup bath rails, to help you when you sit or stand up.

We have included some reviews from Amazon to help you.

I put the shower chair together and have been using it for a month now after foot surgery. I notice that rust has started around the middle screw holding all the legs together. I thought this was strange since it is a shower chair and will on occasion get wet. It also said it was adjustable. You must have to be REALLY strong to get those pegs to move because they have not budged. The height is good for what I need now, but I thought I could continue using it as a stool later on. Guess that is not to be. Don’t get me wrong, I do like it. I mean it is the only round one I have found and is easy to move around on it. Just wish it was more user friendly on the buttons and did not have part of the assembly rusting. I don’t think it is the big screw it self that I rusting, but the ring that goes around it maybe.

This is a well-made shower chair that will make life easier for me. Light to move and even has 4 indentations underneath on all sides that act as handles making it easier to grab and move. Many uses including drying off after shower…gives you a place to sit. Great price now!
