Drop-Arm Transport Commode Chair

Important features of drop arm-transfer ease-urgency commode available-lightweight but sturdy makes it easy to move either by itself or with person in it.

Wheel latches are so tight that caregiver can't unlock the latches with foot or hand. Unlocking the wheel latches has to be done with long nose pliers. Also, it would be handy if Nova made a version of this same chair that had front cable locks that the user could control (assuming the user is basically independent and wants a super-lightweight wheelchair). An additional feature that would be so nice is to have extending legs so person could adjust seat height. Mom is 5'5" with arthritic knees, hips, lumbar, so the most comfortable seat height for her is 23" from floor to seat. PS Blue color option would be more homey~

User is age 90 Mom who is still independent but has osteoporosis affecting hips/knees, problem pivoting.

Much better quality than previous shower chair, which had similar features.

It is a basic shower chair, but does this job very well.

I really like the drop arms works great getting my son from his wheelchair to the shower chair

I have not found one.

Chair works great,even good over the commode .Chair has saved me a lot of lifting.

The chair is sturdy, break away arms helps in movement of patient and wheels that lock.It was cheaper than the first commode chair we bought and far surpasses the first chair in all qualities.

The chair height might be raised to better lift paitent from bed to chair but that's the only change I would make and if my husband wasn't 5'10" the height of the chair might not even be an issue.

My wife has MS and is 63 years old. Her disease is progressing rapidly and Spinlife products have helped with many of the everyday activities.

Affordability, comfort and ease of use are the strengths of this cahair.

The back was a little high for me but we were able to modify it to fit my needs.

Sturdy, well-designed chair, removable foot-rests work perfectly, good height, good easy-to-use locking brakes. Easy to disassemble.
