Carex Bathtub Transfer Bench with Opening & Bucket
The Carex Bathtub Transfer Bench with Opening & Bucket is designed to make getting into and out of the bathtub easier for individuals who have difficulty stepping over the tub wall. The extended bench allows the user to sit down outside the tub, move their legs over the tub wall, and reposition into the bathing area without requiring a standing step over the side of the bathtub.
This versatile bath safety bench combines a traditional bathtub transfer bench with a built-in commode opening and removable bucket. A reversible backrest accommodates either left- or right-hand tub entry, while the textured surfaces and oversized slip-resistant tips provide additional stability during everyday bathing.

Bathtub Transfers Without Stepping Over the Tub Wall
A bathtub transfer bench provides a seated alternative to stepping directly over the side of the tub. The Carex bench extends across the tub wall, allowing the user to sit down outside the bathtub and then move their legs over the wall while remaining seated.
This design can be especially helpful for individuals who have difficulty with balance, limited lower-body mobility, or reduced ability to stand safely on a wet bathroom surface.
The Carex transfer bench combines an adjustable aluminum-leg frame, textured non-slip surfaces, a reversible backrest, oversized slip-resistant tips, and a convenient side handle to provide practical support during seated bathtub transfers.
Built-In Commode Opening & Removable Bucket
The Carex FGB15611 0000 features a built-in commode opening and bucket beneath the seat. This 2-in-1 design provides an additional toileting option for individuals who may have difficulty reaching or using a separate bathroom toilet.
The removable bucket can be taken out for emptying and cleaning. This added functionality makes the bench useful for bathing and toileting assistance in a variety of home-care situations.
How the Carex Transfer Bench Works
Place the transfer bench with the legs properly supported both inside and outside the bathtub.
Set the adjustable legs so the bench sits at an appropriate height for the user and tub configuration.
Sit on the outside portion of the bench, move the legs over the tub wall, and slide into the bathing area.
The oversized handle provides a convenient support point during positioning and seated transfers.
Key Features
Reversible for Left- or Right-Hand Entry
The Carex transfer bench features a reversible seat back, allowing it to be configured for either left- or right-hand bathtub entry. This flexibility helps accommodate different bathroom layouts and the user's preferred transfer direction.
Adjustable Height for a Better Fit
The bench adjusts from 18" to 21" in height. Adjustable legs help the bench accommodate different user heights and bathtub configurations while allowing the seating surface to be positioned for a more comfortable transfer.
Bathtub widths, wall heights, bathroom floor space, and surrounding fixtures can vary considerably. Measure the available space carefully before ordering to confirm that the transfer bench will fit your specific bathroom.
Non-Slip Support for Everyday Bathing
Both the seat and backrest feature a textured surface designed to provide additional traction. Oversized slip-resistant tips help keep the bench securely positioned on the bathroom floor and inside the tub when properly installed and used.
