how does it keep from slipping if the rubber feet are rounded--doesn't look like there is surface area at bottom of feet for suction to the tub?

I'm certainly no expert, but yes you are correct, it does not suction. This is a heavy duty seat and by virtue of its weight alone (plus the users body weight) I find that it keeps the chair securely in place. Particularly when the tub is dry, before you begin your shower it wont move any more than a patio chair would move when sitting on it. If you have enough mobility to sit on a patio or dining chair unaided then you can confidently sit in this chair. The rounded feet helps it glide if you choose to push it back or forwards (much as gliders on a walker would assist with movement but it would only move if you propelled it to move by pushing it) Side to side the width of the tub, it's not going to move a fraction since with a standard sized tub there is no room for it to move. Length wise, it will move, but only if you are pushing it either with your hands or pushing with your feet when seated. I think its a quality item, but whether it works for you depends on your personal needs and how mobile the user is.

The chair is stable and there is no slipping. The rubber on the bottom of the legs works fine. This was a great purchase.

This is a terrific chair. I just ordered another one yesterday. Going to have knee replacement surgery and needed a dependable chair. Doesn't slide at all. I have to pick it up to move it. Purchased my first one for $29.95. The second one had increased to $34.95. Check around for the best price.

It does slip. I had to put it on a rubber mat; it still slipped. As I said in an earlier review, it is very flimsy. We could not use it and went back to the sturdier bench we had been using. Other reviewers seem to be satisfied. I guess it depends on who is using it. My husband is 84 and partially paralyzed from a stroke. It was not sturdy enough to allow him to feel comfortable.

Yes it stays firmly on the tub by rows of suction cups on the reverse side. it's really rubbery and pliable so it comes up easily if you pull it up but it does not slip under foot. i usually let it dry daily but a rinse w clorox seems to keep mold away. no mold yet. i love it.

It does stay in place. :-) I also don't leave mine in the tub, we remove it after bathing which leaves the suction cups time to dry out and prevents mildew, etc.

I had the same problem. Bigger issues were that the base doesn't roll all that easily.. Almost better off bolting a bench to the tub.. Not great for the tub.. But way safer..

There are very little rubber pads on the legs, but I think they designed more for not marring floors, not skid resistance. I have never had a problem with the stool slipping when someone steps on it. I use it all the time and my pre-school grandkids use it. No falls yet (at least not through any fault of the stool).

When getting up against something like a tub or even the molding on the floor, you might need to reposition it while you are pushing it. I find that on occasion it doesn't move the way I need it to, but it is not a deterrent. It does the job. Also keep in mind that this is very wide. I am not sure how much space you have in your bathroom, but I find it cumbersome in my smaller bathrooms. Hope this helps. :)

Yes it does. I usually dampen the surface underneath for extra staying power, but it does not slip.

it has "live" rubber onn the top, which makes it basically very difficult to slip off. i've never had a problem with it.

It doesn't really suction. It sits on top of the drain. It pretty much stays put. I have a bathfitter tub which is plstic and it works.

It has little feet and I haven't had them slip. Don't know if they are rubber or plastic

The feet have grippers. Mine is also on carpet & next to the hard drive so no slipping.

The surface is pebbled so it is not too slippery, but it is fairly smooth. My wife does not have any issues sliding from the outside into the tub. We had a different type before this which was rough and hard to slide on. Also, I like the simplicity with nothing to break down over time. Hope this helps.

No but it's not a slippery surface either and it has 4 rubber tipson the feet that holds it well on my bath mat.

Suction cups on two tub feet and they are secure. The seat is wide so you can slide out of tub area to stand up. Yes, lightweight, aluminum tubing. My grandmother had been using since install June 2013 and it's happy and works great for her. The truck is to tuck the shower vision under buttocks/leg to keep water in tub and off floor. :-)

It has rubber feet underneath. As long as it's properly set, it doesn't slide. If you put it at an angle it is less stable, but we haven't had an issue yet since we make sure it's straight & set well.

No it's not slippery at all. My son is a maniac in the bath tub and it works just fine for him. The bottom of the tub inflates a little bit, and has the texture of one of those no slip bath mats.

It certainly wouldn't cause the baby to slip. It would also be good for using to keep the baby from touching the tub surface, which appears to be clean, but you never know. I use the item to keep me from slipping in my shower/tub. I had slipped prior to getting it and haven't had that occasion since.
