The TubBuddy® with Tilt (SB2T) transfer system quickly converts a standard bathtub or curbed shower into an accessible, barrier-free bathing space—without the expense, delays, or disruption of a full bathroom renovation. Designed to reduce multiple transfers and heavy lifting, the SB2T helps users bathe safely and comfortably while easing caregiver strain.
The SB2T is a modular system made up of three components: a rolling base (shower chair), a bridge, and a tub base. The rolling base functions independently as a bedside commode and moves easily throughout the home like a wheelchair. In the bathroom, it can roll over most toilets for over-toilet use. After toileting, the rolling base connects to the tub base via the bridge, allowing the chair to glide smoothly over the tub with the user’s legs elevated.
