Hip Solution Tub Transfer Bench for Bathtub, Bath & Shower Bench

I bought this after my 88 year old mom came to live with me unexpectedly. Mom coming to live with me was an emergency situation and I am just 6 months past having spine surgery. Mom has limited mobility. She uses a walker to walk in the house and a wheelchair when we go on errands or to appointments. She is a high fall risk. Our master bathroom has a shower with glass doors and was a pain to get her in and such a high fall risk. This chair is expensive but it seems much more durable and has features that make it worth the cost. Our second bathroom has a standard tub and Mom’s not able to step over the rim of the tub to get in for a shower. This allows us to seat Mom on the seat, put the seatbelt on and then rotate her. I can then press the button and slide her over the tub rim and get her in the tub for a shower. She can feel clean and enjoy a regular shower and not have only the cleaning done with no rinse cloths. This helps her feel more like she’s hasn’t given up one more thing to advancing age and decreased mobility and ability. I think it helps her with her self esteem and feeling like she’s able to do some things for herself still. I am still there by her side and can assist and make sure she’s not in danger of falling but she can do most of her own bathing by herself. This chair also saves my spine because Mom can be moved easily, safely and not “fight” me moving Mom when she fears she is going to fall. I recently had cervical fusion surgery and have to be careful not to do certain motions as my spine tries to heal. Expensive....yes.....Worth it.....Yes!!!! Hopefully it will be helpful after Mom has passed and if my hubby has a third heart attack. Hubby is able to do all of his own care now but he’s a heart patient and one day may have another heart attack and be weak enough to need help with bathing.

I bought this for a person who can no longer stand for a shower or sit and get out of a tub. For a standard tub, this seat is easy to rotate for sitting, then turn and lock into position to slide by the rails into the tub area. The arm handles make it easier to stay on the seat and to boost out when getting up. The person I got it for is able to bath themself again with this and a hand-held shower sprayer on a hose. This unit came with extra leg extenders that make it possible to fit any height tub. It costs more than other models, but was worth every penny for the ease, convenience, and independence it returns to a disabled person's life.

I am a recent amputee, and had difficulties getting in and out of the shower and still feel secure. This sliding bench is perfect for a long narrow shower. My 92 year old mother uses it too. She now can take showers alone. This was so easy to put together and set to the right height. I highly recommend this bench. Oh and it has a lap belt for even more security and safety.

With this chair I am able to access the shower. I wish the seat itself was a little larger.

My bathroom is small so has a shorter tub but it is higher on the sides. After being admitted to the hospital with AFIB and CHF, and then discharged and I had severe Covid and returned. After so long in the hospital I went to rehab due to being so weak. Finally I gott home and was too week to get my leg over the tub side. It was easy to assemble. Took my son 15 minutes to get it together and adjusted. Overall, I love it but there are a couple of design issues that make it more trouble for a person of size to use. It has a weight limit of 350 lbs I believe. I am under 300 but had some difficulty with it. You sit on it and start moving back and lifting your legs and soon you are sitting forward facing in tub. The button for starting that process is located on a bottom leg. I was trying to look through my legs to see if I I could find the button. Needs new location. Then I have trouble getting my leg over tub. I bought an accessory that allows you to lift your leg easier. With that device I use it and it becomes very easy. It takes me longer to get in the tub but I can do it on my own., which is good. I think the chair might not be sturdy enough to go over their weight limitation. For me, it works.

This chair has made it so much easier to give my mom a shower. The chair swivels to face forward, then swivels to face sideways, then slides into the shower. Much easier than trying to get her to stumble into the shower and sit on a bench. When finished, the chair slides back out, turn it forward, and she can stand up with her walker. One caveat: I ordered the chair, then found out that the horizontal bars can be sent/ordered in three different lengths, depending on your need. The length that came with the chair was too short, so I spent $55 ordering longer bars. Order direct from the company and get the length you need with the original chair.

We have purchased many shower chairs for my parents and this one so far has been the best. Easy to put together and I really like the different leg options for either an open shower or a tub. The rotating seat is perfect and then the slide bar works great. Now if anything needs to be improved it would be to have an option on seats. I would like to see a seat that has an open bottom for easier cleaning access. I know with the rotating seat that might not be possible however I am sure there is a way to get around that. Come on, I am sure some engineer can create that option for us care givers to take better care of our family members. Thanks

I would give this more stars if I could . Researched for the best shower chair for my 96 year old grandmother with limited mobility. This shower chair clicked every box . I was able to assemble in minutes . Has full swiveling capability, seatbelt, sliding mechanisms , non skid chair and 2 arm rests to assist with standing, which most do not have . It is on the highest end for cost but I highly recommend this shower chair . It’s worth the extra money .
