ShowerBuddy® SB1 Transfer System with Rolling Shower Chair

SBThe ShowerBuddy® SB1 Transfer System transforms a traditional curbed shower into an accessible, barrier-free bathing space in just minutes—without the cost, disruption, or delay of a full bathroom remodel. Designed to reduce heavy lifting and eliminate multiple transfers, the SB1 makes toileting and showering safer and more comfortable for both users and caregivers.

The system consists of three components: a rolling base (shower chair), a bridge, and a shower base. The rolling base functions as a bedside commode and can be used throughout the home like a wheelchair, allowing the user to be transported easily into the bathroom and positioned over most toilets. Once toileting is complete, the rolling base connects to the shower base via the bridge, enabling a smooth, secure slide over the shower curb and into the stall.

Key Features

  • Barrier-Free Shower Access: Converts a traditional curbed shower into an accessible bathing area without remodeling
  • 3-Piece Transfer System: Includes rolling base, bridge, and rotating shower base for smooth, secure transfers
  • Reduces Caregiver Strain: Eliminates heavy lifting and minimizes multiple transfers for toileting and showering
  • Rolling Shower & Commode Chair: Rolling base functions as a bedside commode and wheelchair-style transport chair
  • Over-Toilet Capability: Rolls over select toilets for toileting before shower transfer
  • 360° Rotating Shower Base: Allows users to face shower controls or reposition easily once inside the stall
  • Smooth Curb Transfer: Bridge enables controlled sliding over shower curbs
Additional Highlights

  • Built-In Safety Lock: Secondary safety mechanism prevents the chair from sliding off the track
  • Comfort & Support Features: Front-opening cushion, footplate, chest belt, and lap belt included
  • Adjustable & Secure: Height-adjustable design with flip-back, lockable, and removable armrests
  • Durable Locking Casters: 5” lockable wheels provide stability during transfers
  • Caregiver-Assisted Design: Intended for assisted use only, not independent operation
  • High Weight Capacity: Supports users up to 350 lbs
  • Sturdy Yet Mobile: Total system weight of 54.8 lbs for durability and ease of handling
