Description
Key Features:
Angle-Adjustable Seat and Backrest: Both the seat and backrest can be independently adjusted to five different angles (typically 0°, 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, and 90° or 0°, 22.2°, 45°, 67.5°, and 90° depending on the specific model variation). This allows caregivers to find the optimal positioning for the child's comfort and support during bathing.
Uni-Bars for One-Handed Adjustment: The seat and backrest angles can be adjusted easily with one hand using integrated "Uni-Bars," even while the child is in the chair.
Adjustable Slip-Resistant Legs: The legs are designed to be slip-resistant for safety in wet environments. They can also be adjusted to raise the chair's height by up to 7 inches, which can make transferring the child easier for caregivers.
Height and Width Adjustable Head Cushions: These cushions provide crucial head and neck support and can also be repositioned to serve as lateral supports for the trunk, enhancing overall stability.
Removable Positioning Straps: Multiple positioning straps can be placed along the length of the frame to secure the child comfortably and safely in the chair.
Leg Straps for Abduction/Adduction Control: Specific straps are included to help control leg abduction (moving away from the body) and adduction (moving towards the body), offering further positioning assistance.
Durable Plastic Frame: Constructed from a robust, rust-resistant plastic frame, making it suitable for use in water.
Removable and Washable Fabric: The fabric cover is made from polyester knit (standard or soft options available) which is easy to remove and machine-washable, ensuring hygiene. The seat fabric can even be slipped off to allow a child to sit on the tub floor while supported by the chair back.
Folds Flat for Storage: The chair can be easily folded flat for convenient storage or transport.
Small Size Capacity: The OT-1000 (Small) typically accommodates children up to approximately 36 inches tall and with a weight capacity of around 60 lbs. (Other sizes, like Medium, Large, and Extra Large, are also available under different model numbers, such as OT-2000, OT-3000, OT-4000).
Optional Accessories: Can be used with optional accessories like a tub stand or shower stand to elevate the chair further within the tub or shower.

Manage positioning needs during hygiene routines: The extensive adjustability allows for optimal positioning to facilitate washing and personal care.
