I purchased 2 of these toilet seat extenders in preparation for hip replacement surgery. I am glad I chose a model with arms as this was most helpful the first week or two at home. My bathrooms did not have bars or things to use to push up. I am a size 14 woman with slightly larger than average hips and I just comfortably fit between the arms. Granted, due to the open nature of the sides, most could fit but it may not be as pleasant of an experience getting on and off. I am also 5'2" so had to get used to my feet not touching the floor - you learn to do anything when you have to! It was easy to assemble arms and to fit to toilets. My toilets are different, one oval and one round, and it worked on both. It is easy to clean.

My wife suffers from an arthritic knee and has difficulty rising from the toilet. The elevated seat has helped her immensely. Also, it is very easy to install, remove and to clean. We recommend it highly.

I purchased the Locking Elevated Toilet Seat with padded removable arms and free shipping from Amazon.com on 03/05/2010. I have weak upper leg muscles that make it difficult for me to climb steps and get up from chairs and toilets. This toilet seat with the padded arms now makes it easy for me to get up from toilets. Most toilets are too low for me to get up from with little effort. In addition, many toilets in hotels and motels do not have fixtures around them that I can use my arms to 'push" myself up from the toilet with, such as a bathroom adjacient tub, sink counter, or the sink counter is too tall for me to use.

The Locking Elevated Toilet Seat is just what I need in a home and on the road traveling and stopping at hotels or motels along the way. The padded arms help me to easily 'push' myself up from the seat and the locking mechanism lets me easily lock the seat to the toilet for safety Medline Locking Elevated Toilet Seat with Arms. The easy to use seat lock lets me quickly install and remove the seat from the toilet, which is a good feature if you do not want to keep the seat attached to the toilet at home. Finally, the seat is comfortable to use and easy to clean. The removable arms make the seat more compact for travel and storage.

this item will not fit on an elongated toilet..it only fits on a round..the description does not tell you that and it is not returnable, so im stuck with this and out of the money

This product put my elderly father in the hospital with a broken hip because it does not secure firmly to the toilet. Please purchase hand-bars or some other product that has a better method for securing itself to the toilet. The single plastic pressure screw used to clamp to the porcelain in the toilet bowl is far to prone to slippage when weight is applied unevenly. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS product for your own safety.

The lip on the rear that is supposed to lock under the rear rim of the bowl is way too small and subtle. I have a plain-vanilla 70's-era round toilet. With this installed any off-center weight tips the seat right off the toilet. The seat can be lifted off with no effort. Unless you sit on it perfectly straight it'll tip you off too. Downright dangerous.

I bought a similar item at a local medical supply house and it had a much more pronounced locking lip and works fine.

Matched a seat we purchased a few years back that had lasted like a champ. Great product for elderly and fits any toilet round or oblong with screw lock mechanism. Built in handles are a definite plus. Drawback the plastic needs to be cleaned frequently as it stains easily. Best price found on the web for similiar products elsewhere

this is a excellent buy. i checked many stores for this in my area and none could match this. my local drug had same type for 74.00. what a savings. i am a senior and this was so easy to put together. i was so happy because i hate to ask for help. thank you amazon for your excellent prices and fast delivery. m.sanders

Did not fit normal size toliet. wobbled back and forth and couldnt be tightened. had to return. I thought this was a good company so I ordered it for after my hip replacement. Disappointing.

GREAT PRODUCT. USED FOR MY ELDERLY MOTHER. WORKS GREAT. I LIKE THAT THE HANDLES ARE STRAIGHT UP. WE TRIED ANOTHER SEAT
AND THE HANDLES WERE SLIGHTLY TO THE SIDE. THIS DIDN'T WORK FOR ME SINCE OUR BATHTUB IS SO CLOSE TO THE TOILET. EASY TO INSTALL. STAYS IN PLACE. EASY TO CLEAN. CAN TAKE A HANDLE OFF EASILY IF I NEED THE ROOM TO CLEAN BATHTUB ETC. BUT HASN'T BEEN NECESSARY. GREAT VALUE FOR THE MONEY.
