Does the chair is waterproof?... My dad (Parkinson) is going to use it. Can he take a shower seated? Whats the cover material? Wheels are resistant ..

That's what we use it for, showering. Cover is is a plastic cloth like material. We roll it backwards into the shower. Chuck

Yes he can sit on it in the shower. If he has a small bottom he could fall thru. I had a spare cushion with neoprene on if I used until he put some weight on. The seat is vinyl. The wheels lock. The only thing you need to do is we down right away and turn u it upside down to drain any water in the tubes. Otherwise the chair is well worth. Strong, sturdy and light.

Yes, we use the chair as both a commode and shower chair. It is difficult to push the chair into the shower with someone sitting in it as the frame is not real strong. We do it, but we pull and push from the back, not the sides. The chair is covered with a vinyl type material which is definitely waterproof. The wheels are fairly small and the brake does not really keep the chair from moving. We put it against the wall when transferring my son into it so that it does not move out from under him.

This is my second shower bench chair in well over 10 years. I keep the handrail against shower wall. I would not use the chair without the handrail because I feel it is a safety factor, in case I need a hand hold. There plenty room for in the shower chair in the bath tub. Remember if you need the chair you need the handrail, no doubt in my mind. I hope this helps.

I would think that it's somewhat weather resistant. Like other comments, I wouldn't leave it out all the time and would dry it off when possible. We use them tailgating and it's a decent chair for the money. Yes, not that comfortable but what do you expect for under $15.

2WD and not waterproof. The motor is not completely enclosed, but it probably could be run in a shower, but I won't want to run it thru a puddle too deep. It's a great truck.

My father has the same issue and he enjoys his shower chair. Sits low and seat it pretty wide to assist with comfort and balance. In my opinion it will do just fine. Hope you find it to be the same.

Sorry about your chair - no no no - so far no water getting to the chair and I use it every day since I got it - believe it has been about 3 months now. The suction cups do not suck (could be the tiles in my shower floor) LOL but it is very stable and it does not move around while you are sitting on it and it was easy to put together (I am 80 yrs female and I did it) - I feel very secure using it. Hope this helps.

The wheels appear to be rubber. We've had this chair for about 6 months, and have not had any problems. We often use it on parking lots with uneven, rough surfaces (for the many doctor's appointments) and "off-roading" on grass at the community ball park. There may a scratch or two in the wheels, but they are holding up quite well. I highly recommend this chair.

Hi Susan,The seat is used by my elderly dad and his caregiver gives him a shower. He has a removable shower head so she can direct the water for the shower, not sure how she gets around the curtain issue. I would think you could cut a section of shower curtain out where the chair is and then pull the curtain closed enough to cover the part of the seat near the edge of the tub so the water would fall back in the tub and not the floor.

Since the body of the seat is PVC type heavy plastic and the legs are brushed aluminum, my answer would be an emphatic YES. My mom has been using the chair in her shower for several months and it's showing no signs of rust.

Hi, we have since gotten rid of this chair because we bought it to use outside. When it rained, the frame collected water inside, and the chair rusted badly. If you are using this chair inside, it will probably work. I don't think the chair weighed 11 pounds because I had no problems picking it up, and I'm small and have arthritis. And the frame is hollow and fills with water in the rain. I was not happy with this purchase.

Top is some kind of plastic coating below is some kind of material which may swell if exposed to water for a long time. So watch water exposure. Still like chair have 4 now

Water Resistant! Of course the wheels stick out at the bottom, so water can get in that way. But it did manage to even keep the dirt off my smaller umbrella stroller that was recently gate checked twice at the airport!

Hey sorry I haven't been cheking my emails lately. The chair itself is durable, just make sure you tighten those screws. As for using the chair outside where there is water, personally I won't do that. I bought this chair for aesthetic reasons for a mid century home in Palm Springs. Again, I cannot tell whether this is durable outside, but for inside use, it is not bad at all.

We got this for my mother-in-law as she was leaving rehab. We also installed a hand-held shower head which reduces the chance of leakage. Her follow-on occupational therapist walked her through how to gather and then tuck the shower curtain lining under her leg. I also got a water absorber (made for leaky doors) to lay along the outside of the tub in case there was any spillover. The chair works great in that you can sit on it and then swing your legs over. It was also very easy to assemble. Good luck!

The information sheet that came with the scooter says not to use it in wet conditions. I think it's because the wheels can slip on wet cement.

The chair sits on the tub rim securely you adjust the width based on the width of the tub. The only issue I found was the distance between the seat and the side of the tub made it a little difficult to manover my mom, but that was not a big issue.
