E-Z Lock Toilet Seat: With Arms Review

E-Z Lock Toilet Seat: With Arms
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently purchased this item for my mother. It is an adequate height to provide additional comfort and convenience.The inner circumference of this seat extends deep enough into the toilet bowl that there does not appear to be any likelihood of waste splashing or leaking over the rim. However, the most important aspect which needs to be considered with these seats is safety and stability.None of the similar units I looked at securely lock to the existing toilet. It would seem to me that a design which allowed for bolting the raised seat to the toilet through the standard seat hinge holes would be far more secure.The design of the so-called locking mechanism on this Carex seat is a very narrow ridge at the back which fits under the interior rim of the toilet and, in the front, a narrow sliding clamp with a soft plastic face which presses against the inner surface of the rim.The front clamp is on a threaded plastic rod with a tightening knob on the front of the seat.These provide some friction, at best (consider that the interface is plastic on ceramic), and can be dislodged with very little pressure.When getting on or off the toilet, if uneven weight is placed on any portion of the rim, it is very likely the unit will tip, creating a significant fall risk.The addition of the arms magnifies the hazard, as they provide additional leverage.I would strongly suggest that for safety one of the external frame units with a commode seat would be far more appropriate. (Note that this is an edited and much more negative revision of my original review of this item, based on more experience in use. Also, note that if the patient has a documented medical condition affecting their stability, Medicare may pay for an external frame unit.)

excellant purchase, shipment, price, etc...purchased last minute prior to total hip replacement...if there is any draw back to this seat it is because I am a big person and I could use elongated seat with front opening...but this seat is beats all, even the higher priced models...

Drive Medical Deluxe Elevated Raised Toilet Seat with Removable Padded Arms, White Review

Drive Medical Deluxe Elevated Raised Toilet Seat with Removable Padded Arms, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Got this for my father who is aged and has difficulties bending.Since most toilets are low off the ground, a person's center of gravity is compromised when sitting.If your legs and balance are fair to good, then you don't have a problem.Otherwise, you're flirting with danger going to the bathroom and a fall will be inevitable.

The locking elevated seat went on in five seconds.It sat on top of the toilet perfectly and only needed tightening by turning a button on the front, which tighetened a rubber grip from the underside of the seat and locking it against the front inside rim of the toilet.The arms snap on and are adjustable to suit the user.I was honsetly prepared for a 20 minute installation, so what a relief it was so simple. Also, the existing toilet seat did not have to be removed. The instructions say that this may or may not be the case depending on what kind of toilet you're installing the elevated seat on.Our toilet was a standard toilet, not an elongated one, so I can't speak for those.

The seat now raises the use of the toilet by five or more inches, which doesn't sound like a lot, but is a big deal with you're older and not as spry as you once were.The arms make it easy to push yourself up when finished, so that's great too.

You need to check the rubber grip and tighten it as needed to be sure that the seat is firmly locked in place; with use it will loosen its grip slightly.It's also advisable to sit all the way back on the seat for comfort and safety.

All in all, this was a simple fix for a major problem, and it has given us some peace of mind.Very happy with this purchase.

Medline Locking Elevated Toilet Seat with Arms Review

I sure hope all who read this is somehow helped by my comments.This purchased marked a new path in my world.Elder care.There isn't much information or reviews available on items like these.
Installation and assembly were pretty easy.No tools needed.
I liked the fact it had arms to assist when getting up or down.Yet if one doesn't apply equal pressure to both sides this baby will tilt and land your love one right on to the floor.Would not order this feature again.
In my opinion it doesn't fasten tight enough on to the toilet seat.I tried with and without the toilet lid attached did not lessen the amount of play side to side.What it has is a clamp that you screw down and it will clip on to the front edge of bottom of toilet rim.This is the only attachment point.If someone sits down close to the front the rear will pop up out of place.Not a good thing!
On the plus side, it is easy to clean.Raises one up about 5 inches off the floor so its less of a distance to sit down to.Yet if you are 5 ft or shorter you will not be able to touch the floor with the bottoms of your feet.It is wide and comfortable.Has a depression in the front to allow for ease in self clean up.
How about it?IS there anyone out there who would like to design an better elevated toilet seat?Sure hope so!

This toilet seat fit very well on my small toilet andnot only made it taller, but made it feel like I had more seating space. Very comfortable. Summary of product was confusing because picture shows a lid, however, the toilet seat does not come with one. There is a seat that comes w/lid, but not this one.
