Is it possible to sit down completely being outside of the tub or is it necessary to stradle the side of the tub before sitting down?

My mother-in-law is 89. She was only having bed baths for over a year, until we got this chair. She sits on the chair outside if the tub and then is pushed into tub. The caregivers lift her legs over the side. We ordered an extra side hande , one on both sides! She loves it. We need to order the long bench to give her room to sit down outside of tub.

It depends on how far into the tub you place the one set of legs. My father in law (93) sits on the seat with both feet outside of the tub. Then he slides the seat across and lifts his legs so he is totally in the tub.

There are two possible solutions here. One is to get a long or extra long bench so that the bench sticks out further from the outside wall of the tub. This gives room to sit on it outside. The lengths of the benches are as follows: Regular: 39.5-40.5"; Long: 43-44"; XL: 48-49". The second, and more popular, choice is to get an Eagle bench which is sliding and swivels. That way the seat can be facing outside the tub and then be swiveled to face the shower and slides into the tub. Bill Keene 954-421-3169 Boca Home Medical Solutions

I transitioned LO once he would no longer stay laying back in angel care. He had been sitting up on his own outside of tub for about 3 months but didn't try sitting up in angel care until after he was well established in tub. I only put about 2 inches of water to start. As long as baby can sit up on own for long periods of time you should be ok. Good luck.

It's reversible, since its a drop in tub it doesn't matter which side you put it. if it had a sidewall it would be one or the other.

First you position the large luxury bath pillow at end of tub. This is good by itself if you want to just sit in tub, but if you like to soak a bit like I do, just get in that position and tuck terry pillow at your back where it is comfortable for you. Some of The suction cups on the terry pillow will attach to the luxury pillow so you have cushion for your head, shoulders and back

Why would you? You might as well use your bath tub then. The reason for the height in the tub is so it will not be so back breaking. I guess you could, but their would be a problem you would not able to attach the water drain cord. The water would just drain under the tub. I really like it. It is a lot easier to use than the bath tub where I was always on my knees and did not have that much control of the dog. I have a 90 lbs. golden and she fits wonderful in it and is able to turn around without a problem and it is not back breaking for me when I give her a bath

The seat is very sturdy. I've been using this for more than 1 year and am glad I purchased it. I think you would have a hard time sitting on the seat and then trying to swing your legs over the tub. I get into the shower, set the chair up and go from there. I hope this was helpful.

in a standard tub the 3rd set of legs is outside the tub. So it would be dependent on the width of the stallIf it is a walk in shower, you wouldnt' need the slide in part you could just sit. I don't know which you have.

This differential is not enough for most bathtub. You may need to put blocks of wood on the outside leg to even the chair. And it is not safe. Also the seat never move flush with the inside wall of the bath room. So the person is sitting hanging partially outside the tub. All in all, this is very poorly design for usability. I returned my order after much consideration. I thought about saw off part of the leg. However, I had no simple fix for the flush issue. It could not be fixed and still retain the structural integrity of the chair. I have a very old one (of a different model) and it works very well even after 10 years. The leg got slipped out once a while. To fix that, I sprayed some liquid rubber on the studs to keep them in place. I cannot find the same model any more so I have to live with the old one.

No, the tub rests on the support for balance and needs to be placed alongside when open.

Yes, you can do one side without the suction being effected. The tubing is separate for each side.

No but if your baby can sit up, they shouldn't move much. It's a fairly small tub and worked well for us.

It wii but this is not the seat you want. Go to Goodwill and they have used equipment cheap and more appropriate. You need the bench that sits outside and inside the tub, so that the person can slide into the tub which is much better. This seat is for a mobile person and works best in a shower without the tub.

- These "could" work from the inside out...BUT...I've found that the tub safety handle, suction cup handles and shower seat are not at the correct height (too low now) thus making it difficult to stand and maneuver on the platform while in the tub.- I mainly use it for entering the tub then remove the step entirely for exiting.- Hope this helps.

I don't know if you are still interested in this product, but to answer your question - yes - that is exactly how I use mine. It is installed on the corner of the tub to the ceiling. I have had set up this way for years and have never had a problem. The tension is perfect. It is easy to clean and has held up well.

You will still be about 3 in from bottom of tub. Any jets behind you will hit back of chair. Wish I had known about these chairs a year ago. It was much harder to get my mom in the tub. Now she is not so afraid.

This piece really needs a flat surface to sit on. In my experience, most tubs are not perfectly flat so I do believe you might have a problem with the piece scratching your tub.

Yes, it can be adjusted to enter from either side of a tub. The back slides underneath and has a lock adjustment same that is on the legs to adjust height. This is a very nice chair. Well built and sturdy. Hope this helps.
