Can this chair be used IN the shower, or is it just a shower transport chair?

Can be used in the shower if the shower does not have any curb (more then half an inch).

It is to be used in the shower and to transport. Also, the chair allows you access to the private parts which is the best for the patient's hygiene. Built to last and it is the best we could have gotten for my Mother. I recommend it.

Yes, you can use it in shower. However ensure that it is not used when it is plugged in to a power source.

Yeah I use it in the shower just don't immerse in the water completely. I use it everyday in the shower. It works great.

I've used mine in a extra large shower, one for wheelchairs and it worked like a charm. This thing works almost anywhere.

I use this in the shower wit no problem, and it is fully washable. When I wash it, I take the top off, submerge it in water and swish it around.

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.

I read the previous response and that is your answer. I keep the chair in the bathtub for we have a shower as well which my husband uses.My husband did the hard part the lock mechanism. By the way I love this chair and it gives me freedom getting in and out of the bath. Have a Blessed Christmas ! Joannie

Yes, it can be used for shower only. That requires a pipe plug to be installed in the threaded pipe connection that would normally go to the tub. All water is diverted to the shower.

I use mine in a shower, not a tub, so I can't help you there. However, I can fold/unfold it by myself. The seat lifts up, then the legs compress together, and then the seat folds down flat. I lean it flat against the shower wall when I'm done, and then unfold it when it's my turn to use the shower. It's light, yet sturdy, and I can either sit on it or use it sort of like a walker to steady myself. Really pleased with it. Hope that helps.

My mother's version of this chair was used in the shower all the time. That is primarily what we bought it for . It seemed to work just fine.

I would not recommend it. You should be sitting with the handle in the front and it would make it difficult to shower.

I'm not sure. The reason why I say that is because it depends on how big your shower is. You may have to keep the door open and the water might run out. However, if the water running is just on a trickle or your shower is big enough for the entire chair, you should have no problems.

The Moen seat does not slip in the tub. It is very stable and allows easy access for those having mobility issues. This design has the wide side over the side of the tub, so the person using the seat must pull the shower curtain around so it is somewhat under their bottom to eliminate water from running on the floor. If this seat were used in an enclosed shower, this would not be a problem. The seat is easily assembled. I have not had the occasion to disassemble it.

It is aluminum and has rubber hand grips and feet. I see no reason why it could not be used in the shower. As one would expect, care should obviously be taken not to slip or overbalance, but that should not be solely a function of use of the walker, just common sense.

I used the chair in the shower. It had been yossrd in the trash. My shower was large enough to accommodate but the workmanship of the chair was not well made.
