Product Details

This Otter Bathing System is a safe and supportive bathing system which is easy to adjust to individual needs.

The removable padded seat can support a child seated on the base of the bath, while the tilting back rest supports the spine.

With height and width adjustable head cushions, the system provides support of the head and neck exactly where needed.

The Otter Bathing System is suitable for a wide range of needs, giving gentle support to children who have limitations supporting themselves or sitting upright.

Comfortable positioning straps for the legs and trunk help keep the child in an ideal position, where the parent or carer can assist easily.

The hygienic fabric is machine washable, and plastic frame is durable and wipe-clean.

A folding design allows the chair to be easily stored. The adjustable slip resistant legs increase stability and raise chair up to 18cm (7 inches) to facilitate transfers and accommodate carer's ideal working height.

The Otter Bath Tub Stand is available separately, which raises the height of the Otter bath chair for easier transfers. The stand is height adjustable from 13 to 25cm (5 to 10 inches).

The Otter Shower Stand (also sold separately) supports the child at an ideal height for showering.

This stand includes locking castors for added safety and easy transportation.

The Otter Bathing System is designed to suit children of any age; three fully adjustable sizes are available.
