ABSTRACT:
A bathtub seat for use with a bathtub having a bathtub bottom wall and a bathtub side wall, the bathtub side wall being sealingly connected to the bathtub bottom wall and forming a continuous loop for retaining water and having a side wall rim at the bathtub side wall upper end, the bathtub side wall defining opposing side wall rim segments and bathtub ends, the bathtub seat including a support panel for extending across the bathtub and resting on opposing the side rim segments, the support panel having a panel forward end and a panel rearward end. The seat preferably additionally includes an engaging lip extending downwardly from the support panel and into the tub in close proximity to opposing segments of the bathtub side wall for abutting the bathtub wall and thereby preventing substantial lateral movement of the support panel relative to the bathtub. The engaging lip preferably extends downwardly only from the panel forward end. The engaging lip preferably curves inwardly in the downward direction, to correspond to and follow the contours of the bathtub side wall rim segments and interior tub wall surfaces for firmly securing the seat against lateral movement.
