CarexE-Z Lock Toilet Seat and Safety Frame Combo Pack, 5-Inch Height Lift Seat Riser for Elderly and Handicap, Commode Chair For Elderly - Fits and Locks to Round or Elongated Toilets

This is what you need for those surgeries that make it difficult to get up and down from a sitting position. This Carex E-Z lock raised toilet seat with the raised handle arms is working perfectly for me. I'll start with the Pros.Pros: It has a sturdy construction, fits my elongated toilet, the handles are in a good position for pushing yourself up, the seat is raised high, the adjustment to tighten the seat in place works well. For the price (47 bucks) very well worth it and it will last a very long time for when you need it again. With this seat, you do not need to take off the original toilet seat and lid that is already on your toilet. Leave your old seat on and just place the E-Z seat onto the bowl and tighten the adjustment. With some raised toilet seat extensions you have to remove the original seat and lid and attach to the riser. But not this one. No extra steps or work.Cons: The seat is hard. But lets face it, it wasn't made to sit there very long. It's made to do your business and get out of there. And guys, you'll just have to tuck it between your legs if your sitting there and have to pee.This is a great item to have on hand when needed for yourself or family member.Furthermore I would also recommend for comfort after surgery is a Hip Kit. Even if you did not have hip surgery, a hip kit can help you with the painful job of getting yourself dressed. Type in Hip Kit in the product search box or area take a look at the items that help you get your socks on, 24" metal shoe horn , help to lift your leg, a 32" grabber to pick up things you drop and are unable to bend and pick up and hook to help pull your pants and a long handled sponge for washing your back or back side.

Carex Ez lock raised toilet seat is an amazing product. I had a total knee replacement surgery. This is just what I needed when I had to go to the bathroom. My knee was in alot of pain and I had issues getting up from the toilet after surgery. This toilet top raised my toilet top by five inches and it has handles on the side as well. I love this product. It is easy to access it on the toilet to lock it to your own personal toilet in the front. It is easy to put on and off my own toilet. Another thing I enjoy is it is very easy to clean after each use of the toilet. I recommend this product to anyone that has knee surgery and it is very stable on top of my personal toilet too. The price was really good too. Thanks for making such a remarkable product.

This is a sturdy product, very helpful after hip surgery with the handles on both sides to help stand up. I would not recommend for anyone with wider hips. Mine are about 48" and my hip surgery incision rubbed on the handles. I removed one and continued to use it. It tends to move on the toilet, the tightening part is only on the front. Overall, I'd buy it again as it has been a great help, but if you're wide hipped find a different solution.

My ex-wife is disabled and has back issues. This is simple to put on or take off. Stable enough for the toilet. It is NOT for say holding on to when getting out of the shower, but for getting on or off the can it is study. Easy to clean. When you have to make a deposit at Smells Fargo, you can do so with the confidence you can get on and off with no problem and less pain. You won't fall on your butt, just sit on it. High enough that if you drop some big mudd, the splash won't hit you where you feel most vulnerable.

Useless on a standard toilet as it does not clamp down to make it not wobbly. The toilet hole is also smaller than a standard toilet hole. If it was a larger hole that pressed against the sides of the toilet, it would be more stable. The front clamp is useless.It is better to spend a little more money and get a toilet seat that has legs that go on the side of the toilet. These are adjustable, don't touch the toilet and stable.

I like everything about this unit. I previously borrowed one very similar from a friend and kept it for a year without any problems. In fact, I liked it so well that I decided to get my own. It arrives completely assembled, ready to put it on the toilet. It fits my elongated toilet perfectly.I want to respond to a couple of earlier reviews. The seat is very stable as long as the pressure on both sides is equal. If one leans on only one side or the other, the seat will move in that direction.I am a female, size 14-16 U.S. The handles fit me perfectly but I can see that larger users would have difficulty. However, I believe that the width of the handles can be adjusted somewhat, but I haven't had the need to try it.

It is smaller than the earlier models

I just purchased the Carex EZ Lock Raised Toilet Seat with Handles for my wife after she had her Back Surgery. Here is her review: After coming home from Back Surgery going to the bathroom was extremely painful and difficult because: A. It felt like the toliet seat at home is low, therefore trying to sit down and get up are equally painful and, B. The toliet seat feels hard and uncomfortable to sit on. I literally cry everytime I have to use the bathroom. That is until, my husband ordered my Carex Raised 5 inch Elevated Toliet Seat. I never thought I could be so happy over a toliet seat. It has been a game changer. I finally can use the bathroom comfortably without straining myself. The handles provide extra support for me to sit and stand up without his help. The seat is extremely comfortable to sit on to my surprise. I highly recommend this product for anyone who has had surgery and needs the extra help in the bathroom.Worth every penny.....
