can it be taken in and out easily? My dad doesn't need it, my mom does so he would want it out when he bathes...is it THAT portable??

Yes! The chair easily comes apart into two pieces that are fairly light once it has been completely collapsed. However it does require being able to reach into the bottom of the tub to release the suction cups. I put it and take it out of the tub every day so the shower can be used by others and store it in the corner of the bath.

The device is not very heavy. Just awkward. It can be used as a shower chair also

You can remove the unit from the tub with little effort. Remove the back rest first [same action used as putting it together] and then the seat. The tabs on the suction cups allow for an easy break of the vacuum. Each section is light-weight and easy to carry. I remove it after each use.

yes. i do the same thing for my dad. the bottom is separate and i put it in first-the suction cups hold it in place. thenthe back slides in the slot on the base-then you plug in the remote control and thechair raises up.(be sure to keep it charged) when finished reverse the process and liftthe base up but be sure to release the suction cups.yes - it is very portable - and if she fallson the floor, sit this on the floor and rollher on to it and you will be able to lift herjust like in the tub but with no strain.

pretty easy to remove. the suction cups that attach it to the tub have tabs that release the lift, if your dad can bend over to reach the bottom of the tub he shouldn't have a problem.

Yes, we remove it to clean the tub regularly. It is best to remove it in the down position. Also the back comes off easily, which lightens the unit. MP

Yes, the parent unit is definitely portable. I take it with me to the backyard all the time!

This product can be used in/on the tub or wall....It is the best one I have ever bought, and as a healthcare giver, I have bought many....This one does not even need to be replaced and removed every day....I put it on and it stays for days, although I do recommend it be removed and replaced every couple of days

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

I would not recommend it in the shower, however if it's definitely necessary please put the unit in a zip lock bag and be very careful not to submerge in the water!

It is portable, especially if you just carry it in the tote. The pump does not take batteries.

You have to carry it to the sink. I haven't had any problems with that at all.

You can leave it out. It dissappears quickly if put in the water stream I.e. Shower. I usually rub it in my hands then use my hands to rub it around. Or on a washcloth.

I think so. It is secure enough to where I would not want to do this in a hurry as it would take two hands, but if you wish to do this from time to time, I don't think it would be a problem at all. I have removed my twice (say every third week or so) just to clean it and it has come out easily enough (not too easy as I wouldn't want that) but went back in with the same security.

You could always use it in the shower. That's what my son did when he had braces.

It is portable, if you are an adult. It is not terribly heavy, but because of the impressive size, it can be a bit awkward. I love mine.

Well... yes you could... but the open water can easily become contaminated with who know what... fly s, shampoo, york kids dirty hands after he /she has gone to the bathroom.. etc... If you want to put your, and your family's health at risk that way.. that is up to you.

Sounds expensive and the tub is so small, you'd have to get a lot of it.... Otherwise it's a great product.... Could be slippery. Good luck.

I don't think of it as easily portable as it does have a plug, a heavyish base to prevent tipping and doesn't fold up (although my daughter brought hers along on a trip we took because she likes it so much for putting her makeup on every day).

I personally think it better to use a diffuser as it remains in the air for quite some time as opposed to washing it down the drainonce you are out of your bath. You also will need to wash the oils out of your tub.

It is a little tricky to get back in, so of you can't easily do it with your child I. It, you could try one of those $2 rubber drain plugs you can buy for a regular tub or sink.

It seems to take in a lot of stuff before you have to clean it. And no, water is not necessary. Easy to pull out, and bang it clean. Do it outside as it traps considerable dust, etc. Really easy.
