The Drive Deluxe Bariatric Shower Chair with Cross-Frame Brace is Drive item 12021KD-1, a shower chair with back for a bathtub or a stall. Westin Healthcare sells it and delivers it for homes in Brampton and the Greater Toronto Area. The frame is corrosion-proof aluminum with width and depth cross braces.

Drive rates 12021KD-1 at 500 lb (227 kg). The seat sits 20 in by 12 in (51 cm by 30.5 cm). A euro-style clip sets the legs in 1 in increments. Drive's current sheet does not print a height range. Authorized Drive reprints print 14 in to 19 in (36 cm to 48 cm).

Who this bariatric shower chair is for

This bariatric shower chair is for a person who stays at or under the 500 lb rating and who wants a braced chair with a back that stays in the tub or the stall. Families usually call us when a 300 lb bench is not enough and they do not need a transfer bench that bridges the tub wall.

If 300 lb is enough and they want a lighter deluxe bench, start with the Drive Deluxe Aluminum Shower Bench without Back or the deluxe seat with back.

• A seated wash in a tub or a stall, with a backrest
• 500 lb (227 kg) rating and a riveted cross-frame
• Euro-style clip, 1 in clicks

Seat height and fit

Sit on the seat in the tub or the stall with your feet flat. Your hips and knees should sit at a comfortable bend. Drive prints a euro-style clip and 1 in clicks on 12021KD-1. Authorized reprints print 14 in to 19 in (36 cm to 48 cm). Match the four legs to the same hole before you sit.

The seat is 20 in wide by 12 in deep (51 cm by 30.5 cm). Drive does not print a width between arms on 12021KD-1. Come into a Brampton or Toronto store if you want to sit on the chair before you order.

Frame, drainage, and assembly

The frame is corrosion-proof aluminum. Width and depth cross braces are attached with aircraft-type rivets. The bench is blow-molded plastic. Drainage holes let water through the seat.

Height uses a euro-style clip in 1 in increments. Drive prints that the plastic parts use recycled materials. We sell the with-back SKU 12021KD-1. The without-back sister is 12022KD-1. We can put it together at delivery.

Capacity 500 lb (227 kg). Seat 20 in by 12 in (51 cm by 30.5 cm). Height clicks 1 in. Unit weight 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) on the with-back SKU. Warranty for a Canadian purchaser follows Drive's printed term: limited lifetime.

Stool, chair, bench, or bariatric

A shower stool is a small round seat with no back. A shower chair has a back, and some chairs add arms. A shower bench is a wider seat that still sits inside the tub or the stall. A bariatric chair uses a heavier rating and a braced frame. A transfer bench bridges the tub wall so the person sits outside and slides in.

12021KD-1 is the bariatric shower chair with a back. It is not a stool and it is not a transfer bench. If 300 lb is enough, use the deluxe bench without back or the Drive shower chair with padded arms. If the person needs to slide in from outside the tub, start with the Drive Combination Transfer Bench and Commode.

Funding help for bathroom safety equipment in Ontario

Ontario's Assistive Devices Program (ADP) does not fund bathroom safety equipment, so plan around other routes. Funding that may help instead: March of Dimes Canada's Home and Vehicle Modification Program, Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), extended health plans, and community programs. Westin Healthcare's staff work with these programs every week and will point you to the right route for your situation. Visit our funding page or call (905) 451-7743 to talk it through before you buy.
