USER QUESTIONNAIRE .............................................................................................................. 12

The CloZit is a shower/toilet chair that makes it possible to care for the child in the most

comfortable way possible. The ergonomic design of the seat, the adjustment facilities and the

many accessories provide the child with optimal support and safety.

The CloZit is available in 4 different sizes. Different seat and back sizes can be combined so that

the shower/toilet chair can be tailored to fit the individual user.

Standard features

The chair comes equipped with following standard features. The seat and the backrest are covered

with a soft material. This cover is washable and is furthermore water and dirt repellent.

The backrest’s height is adjustable and the seating angle is manually adjustable. The entire chair

(back and seat) can be titled to the front or the back using a gas spring or a manual setting.

The quality of the materials used ensures that the CloZit is maintenance-friendly and easy to clean

and consequently has a long lifespan. The materials are waterproof, which also makes the chair

suitable for use in showers.

Frame

The frame can be set to the desired height using the frame’s adjustment tubes. This makes it

possible to place the seat above a toilet or to set the chair at a better working height in a shower.

The swivel wheels are equipped with brakes and make it easy to move the CloZit. The frame

comes equipped with a push bar or push handles as a standard feature.
