Foam grips were not included in my purchase. It's just pre-cut plastic-like material. the handles are wrapped
If a person can fit in the shower with it, it is possible.
At its widest point, the walker measures 24 inches wide. You might be able to get it through if you angle it, but it won't go straight.
This is an estimate, but it is very light, around 7 pounds.

The walker is in perfect working order. It isn't small, to be sure. It was described as being smaller than 22 inches (the width of my mother's bathroom doorway).
Beware. This is a great walking companion. It's not the walker in the picture, and it won't work with the Medline Platform (for people who have a broken arm or wrist). I suppose I should've listened to the other reviewers - Medline is well aware that the item is depicted incorrectly. I'm curious as to why they haven't addressed the problem. Most people are unlikely to purchase it because of the image's features. In any case, it's incompatible with the Medline Platform, so I've been given permission to return it. Medline appears to be a reliable source of information - Unless, of course, this advertisement. It gets a one-star rating from me. However, it is a sturdy walker that will likely meet the needs of a large number of customers. (They made no mention of having one similar to the one in the picture - It would appear to be ideal for their platform if they did.
The product I received did not look like the picture. The buttons for opening and closing the walker (which are smaller than shown) are difficult to press. Because returning it to the vendor would be too costly, this will be recorded as a bad purchase due to poor representation.
Low cost equates to a standard Walker. I would have given Nelson Walker a five-star rating. If it had been possible to add accessories to your star rating, I would have given it a five-star rating. Two different trays were purchased, neither of which fit. I kept one and modified it with my Dremel so that it could be used by my mother. The front basket is the same way. Purchased two and tinkering with one to make it fit. As long as you don't add any accessories, it'll be perfect. Also, to get it through a bathroom door, you might need to put the wheels on the inside of the legs.
I was a little hesitant after reading a few negative reviews. I decided to give it a shot because of the low cost (less than a rental). This is a very heavy weight that works well for my 250 pound frame. hubby. I was having some difficulty putting on the legs until I realized I needed to squeeze the white end caps for a nice snug fit. I would strongly suggest it.
A "third" walker was required for navigating short distances on the intermediate level of a three-level house. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, so this was a good choice. It collapses without the use of levers or handles, instead relying on a stiff button. I'll be patient because this is a new item, and I expect it to become easier to push with time.
The walker is fantastic, but you only have a 50/50 chance of placing the rollers where you want them. There's an entire manual dedicated to a four-legged walker, but there's no mention of the rollers, nor is there a picture of them. I only had a 50/50 chance of mounting them correctly on the first try, and I failed. I was irritated.
Not sturdy enough to give a person who has trouble walking the sense of security that is required.
