The Tub Buddy (SB2) is an excellent product that enables the disabled to take a shower without needing any bathroom modification. It offers convenience and comfort, a life-changer for us, but I believe there is a safety issue that needs to be addressed as soon as possible concerning the design of how the castor wheels are attached to the rolling base legs.
Recently, a front castor wheel fell off from my rolling base. It's only by God's grace that I was not on the chair, although I was about to be. The wheel fell off because the threading inside the leg onto which the wheel is screwed is worn out. The users manual recommends that the product be annually inspected to ensure safe operation but this may not absolutely guarantee that no problem is caught early enough and problem may occur in between inspections. I believe there is a design flaw about how the wheel is attached to the chair; even without such inspections, the wheel shouldn't fall off.
The wheel is simply screwed onto the rolling base leg, without any apparent locking mechanism. Therefore, when the inside threading of the leg is worn out through normal wear and tear, the wheel would fall off, as it did in my case. I believe there should be multiple layers of prevention to keep the wheels from falling off; they should not merely depend on a simple screw-on to hold them in place. So even though I have a new rolling base legs replaced for my rolling base, I'm now using this product with great concern.
Please redesign this portion of the Tub Buddy to ensure safety for every user. Please do so before someone gets hurt. I could have gotten hurt badly but I was fortunately not on the chair when the wheel came off. Thank you for your attention in this crucial matter.
My dad recently lost his leg and has struggled to use the bathroom on his own and clean himself up. With this chair he is able to safely go to the bathroom and can then transfer to the shower and clean him self up a true life saver for for someone trying to regain there independence it’s the simple things you take for granted
The purchase of a ShowerGlyde Model SG1 chair has changed my life for the better!
We have a tiny bathroom. Husband is disabled with dementia. Even with many handholds, was fearful of stepping into the shower, the 3" rise caused him to get disoriented and dizzy. So, I saw this solution for a tiny bathroom!!! Husband took to it like a duck to water.
I ordered this chair for my dad who has fallen recently. Received it quickly and am happy it is such a solid product. Noticed an issue with one of the wheels called and the issue was taken care of with no hassel and quicker than I thought possible.
My wife and I purchased the Shower Buddy Chair back in February 2023 for my brother-in-law to be used in his assisted living facility. His Care-Takers love using this chair because it's easy for them to care for my brother-in-law. It glides, maneuvers and pivots with ease.
