inside and brakes at either end. It includes a safety belt, suction cup feet and a red safety handle, adjusts in seat height from 17.5″ to 21.5″, assembles without tools and is rated to 300 lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA standard transfer bench still requires the user to shuffle across it, lifting and shifting their weight repeatedly on a wet, slippery surface. For someone with limited upper body strength, hip pain or poor balance, that shuffling is the hard part — and it is where the transfer usually goes wrong. A sliding seat removes it: the user sits once, and the seat does the moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe seat brakes on either side, which is what makes the slide safe rather than alarming. It stays locked while the user sits down outside the tub, releases for the slide, then locks again once inside so the seat is rigid for bathing. The supplied safety belt secures the user during the slide, and the red handle gives a clearly visible, high-contrast grip point — a genuine benefit for users with reduced vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuction cup feet grip the tub floor and the bathroom floor to stop the frame creeping during the transfer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"features-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Slides Side to Side\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe user sits once outside the tub and the seat carries them in, removing the repeated shuffling that makes a standard transfer bench difficult and risky.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrakes at Either End\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eThe seat locks in position outside and inside the tub, so it is rigid for sitting down and for bathing, and only moves during the transfer itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety Belt Included\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSecures the user during the slide — a component often sold separately with competing benches.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRed Safety Handle\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eA deliberately high-contrast grip point that is easy to locate for users with reduced vision, in a wet environment where things are hard to see.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuction Cup Feet\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eGrip both the tub floor and the bathroom floor to stop the frame creeping during the transfer.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTool-Free Height Adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSeat height adjusts from 17.5″ to 21.5″ and overall height from 31.5″ to 35.5″, without tools.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSliding Bench or Curtain-Control Bench?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMOBB makes two transfer benches and the choice comes down to whether the difficulty is the transfer or the water.
