Carex 3.5 Inch Raised Toilet Seat with Arms, Elongated Toilet Seat Riser, 300 lbs Capacity, Elevating and Raising Seat for Elderly and Handicap, Universal, Slip-Resistant with Padded Handles, White

Works perfectly for my 90 year old Mother

I bought this for my mother after she had foot surgery. She is disabled and cannot put any weight on her foot for 5 or 6 months. It was very difficult for her to put get on and off the toilet. This is truly a life saver! I was helping her get on and off the toilet before this came in cause I could only imagine her falling and breaking something or causing her to place weight on her foot (which is a big no no after surgery).This item not only allows her to feel more confident in using the bathroom by herself, but makes it so much easier for her to sit down and get up with the arms!It was super easy to install, but I would recommend installing it for a loved one as it does take some bending (in order to unscrew the old toilet seat and screw in the new one).Only thing I will say is that the bars aren’t very wide for anyone that has extra hips/booty. Also, it need to be tightened at times, as would a regular toilet seat.Overall, I would and will recommend this to anyone that needs that extra lift and support!!

This works very well to elevate the height of the toilet commode on my Toto toilet. At first, the arms felt a bit flimsy and flex a little, but they are in fact stronger than they look. Because the two surfaces that mate, i.e. porcelain and plastic are so smooth, I needed to use some rubber between the two to keep them stable, but overall I would buy this again and it has been helpful while convalescing from a total hip replacement surgery.

This was a second option for me to purchase for my mom. The first one was wobbly and unsafe!Im so glad this one worked and has held up with no issues. It was easy to install. So helpful to her.

I love that it fits under the seat so that I can close the lid before flushing.. On the minus side, the handles do not fit tightly. I had to install something to get them to fight tight. More importantly, if you are overweight, it is a tight fit. I have a BMI of 29. I can’t imagine someone bigger being able to fit. This may be a deal killer. I will see if I want to send it back. Yes, Carex does take it back, unlike some other companies. Over all, a better product than the riser that installs in front of the seat.

If you need an extender for the toilet, this one is the one to get. It’s great quality material and my mom had broke her femur and she was able to use it and get up very easily.

Rarely to I give 1 star reviews. I often just return poor products, get a refund and move on. In this case with the nature of the use, guess we will keep it.1. The attachment hardware contains washers that are too small for the forward backward positioning slot opening in the seat. Problem here is that they end up going in at an angle.2. The wider plastic washer also is too small for slot but I expect it was for under the toilet. Problem here is that there are newer better parts for the under part of ceramic toiled that come with seats event form Walmart. They snug up into the opening and damage nothing.3. The wing nuts for the under toilet seat cannot be turned all the way as they eventually hit the side of the bowl and cannot be turned. This could be depending on the bowl design but again see #2 as a manufacture like this should be aware of better parts. Bottom line is seat would never be tight.4. I used the better connectors from the regular seat we had to take off and we bought from Walmart. Their threads worked with the bolt supplied.5. To tighten down, you had to have the washer either at one end or the other end of the forward back positioning slot to prevent it tilting into the slot. So if your best position was anywhere but those two locations it would not work unless you found better washers. Even at that you would find it hard to keep the bolts at those positions as you locked it down.6. The head of the bolts and washer are on the seat surface so expect bolt marks in your behind. The seat should have a recess for them and a cover.7. The height is not much more than a good padded seat but is higher.8. Seat is not soft but that seems to be the standard.9. There is no lid. Expect your dog drinking it.10. Cleaning it is ok, but to clean between it and the top of the toilet seat is going to be a big job because you will have to unbolt it. Mold will build in that crack. Again there are easy to lock and unlock mechanisms for seats and the mfg should use them.11. Handles are strong but have no adjustable levels.For the price, this is a gross overcharge and the product is not something of quality to expect from a brand name. I suspect that what is offered here was a fully packaged manufacturing batch that had wrong hardware and it was pawned off to another distribution channel or vendor to get rid of it.

Easier on your knees to sit. And safer all around, especially with the bars. I should have got it sooner.I am partially paralyzed one one side of my body. Thank you.
