Shower Chair w/ Back & Arms

We love this shower chair because as occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) we would much rather set someone up before the first bathroom fall than after it. When should you start using a shower chair? Sooner than most people think: the right time is when standing through a whole shower leaves you tired, dizzy, or gripping the wall, not after something has gone wrong. This chair has a back and armrests to keep you steady if your sitting balance wavers, adjusts from 16 to 21 inches, supports 350 pounds, and its compact frame fits a smaller shower or tub.

It is a smart first step for people with low endurance from heart or lung disease, arthritis pain, or early balance changes. If getting over the tub wall is the hard part, a chair alone is not enough; use the Padded Knock-down Tub Transfer Bench instead, and for a roomier seat see the Wide and Flat Seat Shower Chair w/ Back & Arms.
