If you or your loved one is of larger stature and you require a bariatric bathtub lift or hoist, be sure the model you select is meant for someone of your size.
If any child from your family is suffering from any special conditions where he or she can't manage their routine bathing activities then you need to buy a good quality bath seat for them which is suitable for them.
