Carex Elongated Hinged Toilet Seat Riser, Adds 3.5 Inches of Height to Toilet, 300 Pound Weight Capacity, Raised Toilet Seat

Very sturdy and easy to install. Easy to clean, great product for knee surgery rehab,

Besides it looking like someone had returned this item, because the seat was not in the plastic bag when I opened the box - since you don't sit ON this riser, I cleaned it myself before I installed it. It is very sturdy, fits our toilet size great, the ability to lift the riser to clean the toilet is a plus! If you have short legs, your feet may not touch the floor!! I would recommend this riser to anyone that can't worry about it slipping sideways or not staying in place! I'll probably be buying another for the other bathroom.

I’m not sure how to secure it to the toilet so that it doesn’t slide around. It’s not a lot of movement, but it can become misaligned with the toilet bowl. Otherwise, I really like that it can be lifted up to expose the bowl. The added height makes it easier to transfer to the toilet from my wheelchair, and easier for elderly family to use the throne.

Very sturdy and easy to clean

Review based from installation as received and installed it today. The bolts that come with the product were a little larger diameter than the holes that go thru on the hinges on your existing seat. Might not be a problem this time but if the holes were any smaller, I would have had to ream them out in order to get the bolts thru. The holes on the riser are big enough for the bolts to go thru.The riser is hard plastic and sitting on the porcelain it slides very easily so you have to tighten the bolts a lot to keep the riser from sliding around. Sliding with weight on the seat can break your toilet. There is a little lip at the front on the bottom of the riser but is not enough to catch on the porcelain.I am replacing a riser that just sits on the porcelain, but it came with rubber sticky pads that you attach on the riser bottom that significantly keeps it from sliding. Plus there is a lip on this riser that keeps it from sliding off when someone is sitting on it. These rubber sticky pads DID NOT come with this riser so again you have to tighten the bolts a lot to keep it from sliding.I have a Folding & Portable Bathroom Safety Handrail Grab Bar that sits around the toilet so this may allow one to sit on the seat and stabilize themselves as they conduct their business. Lets hope that works!With all that said, the riser opening is larger than the seat opening so one is not restricted by one of those risers that just sit on the toilet. Big winner!Also the riser is hinged so that makes cleaning a lot easier.And it looks nice and you can close the lid.I'm hoping for the best with this product.

This replaces a larger older plastic raised toilet seat and boy is this an improvement. The old raised toilet seat had a screw in the front that I would scrape my leg on when getting out of the shower, and it was too high for me, and a nightmare to clean. Also there was no lid. I wish I had replaced that horrible one earlier with this one - my toilet is no longer a huge ugly eyesore but looks more like a normal toilet since you can use a normal toilet seat and lid on top of it. It was as easy to install as a toilet seat and once you secure the bolts, making sure they are very tightened, it does not move around. The height is perfect so I don't hurt my knees. The hinge design makes it easy to clean the toilet. This is excellent.Update: Still pleased with this, but it is not as strong as I had hoped. The top of this now has a dent & crack in it caused by one of the plastic seat bumpers on the normal toilet seat placed above it. It still works well and the dent isn't visible except when I clean the toilet, but I am betting I will have to replace this in a year or two.

This product is easy to install and very sturdy. It bolts onto you toilet which is a HUGE plus for stability. The bolts did not fit through my existing Koehler toilet seat so I bought an Arctic slow close lid which did the trick. Took a couple of times to tighten the bolts enough but after a week of use it is still in place. Easy to clean. Add the drive medical grab bar for stability to get up and down and you have the total solution. This gave me peace of mind when returning home from outpatient TKA. Be sure to check everything works a week prior to surgery so it’s in place when you get home.Note: it does not come with a toilet seat cover, please check that your toilet seat will fit with the bolts supplied - it is unlikely you will find bolts long enough and you should use the ones supplied with the riser. If your toilet lid does not fit there are several available at a local hardware store.

Bought this for my aging mother. It works pretty good but wants to slide all over the place. I ended up making a board of the right thickness to wedge between this riser and the toilet tank so help stabilize it, thus the four start rating.
