The Care Quip Shower Chair Wide is a four legged shower chair with a wider seat, intended for a person who cannot stand for the length of a shower or who tires partway through. The seat measures 50 cm across and sits on a base 60 cm wide and 56 cm deep, a broad footprint. Drainage slots in the seat let water escape rather than pool, and non-slip rubber tips help the chair hold position on a wet floor. The armrests are ergonomically angled to give something to hold and push against during transfers on and off the chair. Leg height adjusts from 42 to 57 cm so the seat can be set to suit the user. Care Quip offers the chair with a powder coated steel frame or an aluminium frame, each finished with an electrophoretic surface treatment to prevent rusting, and rates both to 150 kg.

Seat width and adjustability are the practical gains. A 50 cm seat on a 60 cm base suits users who find a standard shower chair narrow, and the angled arms give a push point when rising, which is often the hardest part of showering seated. The rust resistant finish suits daily use in a wet area over the longer term.
