With a capacity of up to 300 lbs, the Healthline Shower Wheelchair is suitable even for overweight persons with disabilities. Being 27.5” wide, this wheelchair will provide extra comfort to bigger individuals, thanks to its 17.75” internal width and to the 18.5” clearance, yet we recommend that you measure your doorways prior to purchasing it, to see if it fits inside your home. What we think makes the Healthline Shower Wheelchair a great buy, is the no-rust space age PVC, so easy to clean and disinfect. All bolts and screws are stainless steel, so they are corrosion-proof and very durable. The swing away arm on left side is one of the most useful features, as well as the independent action parking brakes. The rear wheels are all plastic, with rubber tread, providing a good grip on wet and slippery surfaces, while the front wheels are stainless steel, also covered with rubber tread, for increased durability. As optional elements, you can have a seat belt and a sliding footrest. We appreciate that the Healthline Shower Wheelchair fits over most commodes. Being made of the same high quality PVC Healthline use for all their similar products, we see this shower wheelchair as good value for money, at prices that go a bit over $400.

If more people were using a Safe-er- Grip bath & shower handle, 17-Inches, a lot of bathroom incidents could be prevented. Toddlers, elders, or even middle-aged persons in perfect health may slip when entering the wet and slippery bath tub or when they get out of the shower. This grip bath and shower handle costs as little as $18-$19 and it is extremely easy to install by pressing the tab levers which activate the suction cups. When not in use, the handle can be removed by simply flipping the tabs. You might have seen this product advertised on an as seen on tv commercial. You can get this shower handle through the as seen on tv store but also places like Bed Bath and Beyond carry the product. The Safe-er- Grip bath & shower handle, 17-Inches, is designed to help you preserving your balance, so you shouldn’t put all your weight on it. However, being less expensive than other similar products, in case some balance aid is all you need, you don’t have to spend more, as this will fit you well. The handle works best when attached on a smooth and clean surface. When we tried to attach it on the wall, we had to avoid the grout lines, but otherwise it attached firmly and offered a good support. Because of its relatively small size, the Safe-er- Grip bath & shower handle is suitable for taking it with you when traveling, as many hotels don’t offer such facilities for their guests.

I’m left handed, therefore I appreciate very much when manufacturers care about this tiny buy important detail.

We found the large, molded polystyrene seat to be quite comfortable and not too slippery. If you’re looking for a cheap and strong shower stool for your tiny tub, we recommend you the Duro-Med shower tub stool, available in medical supplies shops or at online retailers for an average price of $40.

CLICK HERE TO BUY MEDLINE SHOWER CHAIR

This Shower Chair by MedLine is a good choice for patients who need help in the bath tub, and who can’t support their back without the additional backrest support. An example of use is after leg or hip surgery, when you still need a shower but you can’t stand. Having a very sturdy construction, with wide angled legs and suction cups at all feet, the Shower Chair by MedLine is able to provide you all the comfort for a great, safe shower, even if you can’t use your feet properly. Since this chair is meant to get wet, it features an extremely durable and lightweight anodized aluminum frame, which is rust-resistant and strong. The seat is textured for preventing you from slipping off it. Its height is adjustable from a minimum of 14 1/2” to maximum 19 1/2”, in fractions of one inch each. Another seat feature I’ve appreciated is its generous size. At 20” width by 12” depth, even bigger persons can feel comfortable and shower without fearing that they may fall down and get even more injured than they currently are. At its maximum height, the Shower Chair by MedLine can be used as a regular chair even after your recovery period ends and you’re able to stand again while taking a shower.

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!
