ACTIVEAID 600 Series Stainless Steel Shower/Commode Chair
/
The ActiveAid 600 Series is a clinical-grade rehab shower commode built for the full range of users — from someone who needs basic seated shower support to a more involved patient requiring precise positioning, caregiver access, and multi-directional hygiene capability. The stainless steel frame handles daily wet-environment use without corrosion. The chair configures across frame widths from 18" to 22", multiple seat options including 4-way adjustable seats with opening access in any direction, and wheel options ranging from four 5" dual-locking casters to 20" or 24" rear wheels for self-propulsion.
This specific listing is the 5" caster version — four dual-locking 5" casters, attendant-propelled, optimized for tight residential and clinical bathroom spaces where larger rear wheels would reduce maneuverability. The 5" casters roll more smoothly over floor transitions than 3" or 4" casters, which matters when moving between carpet and tile in a home setting.
The cloverleaf seat design and cut-away frame provide perineal access from front, rear, or either side — a meaningful feature when a caregiver needs to provide hygiene care from the position that works for them rather than the position the chair dictates. Swing-away armrests, gooseneck leg rests with adjustable footplates, padded armrests, solid back, waist belt, and pan hanger are all included. Supports up to 350 lbs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the 5" caster version over the 20" or 24" wheel versions?
The 5" caster version is attendant-propelled and sits lower to the ground with a smaller overall footprint — better suited for tight residential bathrooms where maneuverability matters more than user-propulsion. The 20" and 24" wheel versions allow the user to self-propel, which is the right choice when independence is the goal and the user has sufficient upper body strength. If you're not sure which fits the situation, call us.
What does 4-way seat access mean?
The seat opening can be positioned to face front, rear, or either side — the caregiver can provide hygiene care from the direction that works best for the patient's positioning and the bathroom layout. Most shower commodes only offer rear or front access. The 4-way option is particularly valuable for users who cannot be repositioned easily during bathing.
What frame width should I order?
The 18" width fits most standard users. The 20" and 22" widths are for users who need more lateral room. A general rule: seat width should be 1–2" wider than the user's hips when seated. Call us with the user's measurements and we'll confirm the right size before you order.
Is this chair appropriate for long-term daily use?
Yes. The stainless steel frame is built specifically for wet-environment daily use — it's the same construction approach used in institutional and facility settings. The corrosion-resistant finish holds up to daily shower exposure and clinical disinfectants better than aluminum or PVC frames at this use intensity.
Can it be used over a standard toilet?
Yes — the floor-to-seat-frame height of 19.5" clears most standard residential and ADA toilets. Confirm your toilet height against this clearance before ordering.
Is a headrest available?
Yes — a cervical headrest is available as an option. Call us to confirm availability and pricing with your configuration.
