Shower chair while traveling

Small folding travel shower chair on casters – large and tall people do not sit well on it

Description
A 9 kg easily collapsible shower and toilet chair that can be packed in a suitcase. The suitcase meets carry-on luggage regulations for air travel. The chair is only 54 cm wide and fits through almost all doors.

Model: Chameleon

Authors comments
For the user, who is 1.90 m tall, the shower chair is one or two sizes too small; he sits on it like a sack of hay. He would take a bag that is twice as large if it had a comfortable shower chair.

He often brings his ordinary shower chair with him while traveling even though it is extremely bulky and difficult to bring along. Within Sweden he rents shower chairs in other locations.
