Who this shower chair with back is for

This shower chair with back is for a person who wants a blow-molded back and padded arms that come off, and who stays at or under the lower printed rating until the carton is read. Families usually call us when they want arm support in the stall and they do not need a transfer bench that bridges the tub wall.

If you want a wider Premium Series seat, start with the Drive Premium Series Shower Chair. If you need 500 lb, see the Drive Deluxe Bariatric Shower Chair.

• A seated wash in a tub or a stall, with a back and padded arms
• 18.5 in (47 cm) between the arms
• 1 in leg clicks on a corrosion-proof aluminum frame

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 1 in clicks on 12445KD-1. The older Drive table prints 16 in to 21 in (41 cm to 53 cm). Match the four legs to the same hole before you sit.

Width between arms is 18.5 in (47 cm). The older Drive table prints a 16 in seat width and a seat depth of 14.5 in or 16.25 in. 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. The bench and the back are blow-molded plastic. Drainage holes let water through the bench. The padded arms come off. Height uses 1 in increments.

Drive Shower Chair with Back and Removable Padded Arms specifications

These figures are for Drive 12445KD-1. The current shop sheet and the older complete Drive table do not agree on capacity. The specification tab is empty today. Use 18.5 in between arms and 9.75 lb from the current sheet. Name both capacities until a carton is read.

Current sheet: 350 lb (159 kg), 9.75 lb, 18.5 in between arms, limited lifetime. Older Drive table: 300 lb (136 kg), seat 16 in, depth 14.5 in or 16.25 in, height 16 in to 21 in. Stay at or under 300 lb until we confirm the carton.

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.

12445KD-1 is a shower chair with back and removable padded arms. It is not a stool and it is not a transfer bench. If the person wants the wider Premium Series seat, use the RTL12505. If they need 500 lb, use the bariatric chair. If they need to slide in from outside the tub, start with the Drive Combination Transfer Bench and Commode.

Funding help for bathroom safety equipment in Ontario

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.
