A bath chair is one of the most basic necessities for children and adults with special needs. Bath chairs are designed to sit in bathtubs and support people who may fatigue easily during bathing or who cannot support themselves while bathing. They can also help caretakers transfer special needs children or adults into the bathtub. Articulating bath chairs are adjustable to angle the child or adult at different angles for optimum bathing assistance.
One of the most important elements of a bath chair is that it should have slip-resistant feet. Ideally the feet of a bath chair will come with rubberized grips that will resist skidding on the tub floor. Nothing would be worse than being injured during a nice, relaxing bath! Also, bath chairs should be mold and mildew resistant and easy-to-clean.
