ShowerBuddy’s EcoTraveller SB7e: Going the Extra Mile with Extension Legs

Families who rely on accessible travel equipment know the difference a few centimetres can make. Recently, we heard from parents of a young man who travels frequently with their EcoTraveller SB7e ShowerBuddy. 

They love how light and easy it is to assemble, and how it spares them the hassle of hiring equipment at each destination.

However, they found that toilet heights in certain places—particularly on cruises and at Australian venues—are often slightly taller than the SB7e’s original clearance. This meant that while the ShowerBuddy remained indispensable for its comfort and portability, there were times when it didn’t quite align with higher fixtures.

Overcoming Toilet Height Challenges

Enter the extension legs accessory - SSB7e-EXT Chair Height Extender. As soon as they received these, the family saw just how much of a difference a small accessory could make. 

By adding a little extra height, the extension legs ensured that the SB7e could fit over a broader range of toilets—particularly those around 460 mm from the ground to the bowl’s top. No more awkward wrangling or concerns about accessibility. Instead, they can look forward to travelling with dignity and confidence, knowing the SB7e will accommodate whatever arrangements they encounter.

Practicality and Dignity in Action

In their own words, the family said the new extension legs are a “big win for practicality and dignity”. The legs “click nicely” into the existing SB7e frame, providing a snug fit in various bathroom setups. Whether it’s a short getaway, a hospital trip, a sporting event or a long-awaited cruise, they can continue to rely on their EcoTraveller to manage personal care safely and comfortably.
