Back to the question of using this to sit in the tub. If you want to sit in a tub of hot water a tub seat is too high. Would this work in the water?

I have never put it in the tub or in water so I really cannot answer this question as I don't know how the step will really hold up over time beings saturated. Sorry

It's only 4" high. That's great as a height for a step, but would be low for sitting on if you have a problem getting up and down.

Hi Baboushka, In theory you could use this to sit on in the tub although it is not designed for that purpose. It would not stay flush on the floor of the tub once water has been added. I'd also be concerned about the size of it.

i would not use it to sit in the tub. I would not feel safe using it that way. I would only use it as a step to get into the tub.

I wouldn't use it as a seat. It is only 4 inches high, and not stable enough to put in a tub of water. Works well on the floor or carpet as a step.

If you want to sit close to the floor and maybe shave your legs this would work fine... But I wouldn't use it for a disabled person. I would think if I was shaving my legs and was sitting in the tub ... I would buy two of these because you can stretch your legs out more.

No, it did not work very well in a bath tub. There are other baby tubs that work a lot better

I don't know for sure but would highly doubt it, most tubs do not sit flat on the floor and I would not believe that the floor heater would be strong enough to keep bath water warm.

I am not sure. I just left it the way it came and it works fine for me in my case. however, it does not work good for getting in and out of tub unless you are seated and should have not gotten this one after all.

it is not intended to use as tub bench.it is great for use in the tub,what is great too that the back comes off.i have restriction of 90 degree angle and taking the back off really helps.after the restriction it will be great to put the back on.

Sorry I just saw this. I think the legs would be too far apart to fit in tub. We LOVE this tub and my doggies are a lot cleaner these days b/c easy to use, but I use outdoors

As a nurse , I am not sure what purpose that would serve since you would already be sitting in warm water .And I cannot think of a way that you could stabilize it in a big tub of water .This unit fits beautifully right onto the toilet once the seat is lifted .It creates a time out in which you can catch up on reading while you ease discomfort from arthritic sit bones , hemorrhoids , and or rectal tears .It works very well & is easy to use as directed .

haven't tried it in a tub. It should work if you're showering in a tub. The rubber around the screen should sit over the hole and not get moved around.

Not with this type of chair. I get into the tub and then unfold the chair and situate it as close to the water as I need it.

Wow!! Melted?? If this plastic melted then I doubt the person was even able to get into the water themselves. I just can't imagine a tub of bath water hot enough to melt this, so no I haven't experienced this.

It would probably be better if you used a small electrical water heater. In order for this to heat the water, water must be flowing through the unit. It works great for our hot tub, but the pump must be running.

It is sitting on the top of the bath edge(s) so the seat is almost leveled. If the tub edges are in level with your knees or a little higher that would be the most comfortable position for people who don't have strength. If the edges are lower than you would need some help unless you would face the chair, grab hand rests and try to get inside of the bath. My father used it that way until he felt comfortable to seat on it first and then move his legs into bathtub while turning the chair. To be honest his bathtub edges are pretty high. It is excellent sturdy product!.

I do not know how helpful this would be from a sitting position because it is at least two feet above the tub. My mother uses it from a shower bench.

Yes you could. We tried it but my little one likes to splash too much so we sit it in the adult bath tub now. I really LOVE this tub by the way. It is much safer and more comfortable for my son than the first one I had.

I'm not sure. Maybe it will work better than in an actual hot tub. I have had mine for less than a year and it has been getting stuck on the same temperature for quite some time now and the other day I was going to reset the floating part and when I unscrewed it the gasket stretched out of shape which means it is no good now without it.

It does not fit in the tub. The legs are too wide for a standard tub. It's meant to be used outside or in a walk in shower, I think.

Never tried it in a swimming pool, but it works great in the shower. It is a very tight fit so don't know why it wouldn't work as well in a pool, but guess you wouldn't want it on too long for fear of cutting off circulation.
