You would recommend a bath bench that extends over the edge of the tub. Bud uses a wheelchair to get around his home, and his ability to lift his legs into the tub is limited. A bath bench with a back rest that extends over the edge of the tub would allow Bud to sit on the edge of the bench, grab the back rest to scoot himself back, and provide him back support as he lifts his legs into the tub.
