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

Got this for my mother-in-law who is in end-stage heart failure and this has worked very well for her. It was easily installed and has been durable. Easy to clean with the restroom and assists her with her up and down movements.

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 raised toilet seat fit perfectly on our elongate loo. Assembly was so very easy and installation required a slight modification of the metal washer provided with the seat to accommodate my existing toilet set/cover. This fact could represent an issue for someone without tools or ability to modify the washer. After installation I noticed that the seat would slightly slide laterally even after I tightened the wing nuts as tight as possible without breaking the porcelain. What solved this sliding issue was applying a long strip along each side of the porcelain opening with a good quality double stick tape (3M, Gorilla, etc.). That fixed the problem of sliding and the seat is now very secure. The MFG should, in their design and testing of this product, have seen the seat’s tendency to slide and have included double-sided tape or any other material, rubber, foam, etc. to prevent sliding. Thus the 4 star rating. With all this said, I would recommend this seat to anyone needing it with the above caveat. I have now used this product for a full week and find it is worth both the cost and effort to eliminate any motion once installed.

I recently had a 2 level fusion in my spine and wanted something to make it a little easier getting up and down. This product has been very stable and done exactly what I wanted! I like having those handles on either side so I have something to brace on as I sit down. If I have a complaint, and it's a very small one, the plastic washers that are supposed to help secure it are not very good. It's always possible I did not use them correctly, but the have too much flex. But the seat is still secure so overall I give the product 5 stars!

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.

Works perfectly for my 90 year old Mother

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.

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.
