PCP Raised Toilet Seat with Safety Frame - Adjustable Height, Tool-Free Assembly, Made in USA - Ideal for Elderly, Disabled & Post-Surgery Bathroom Safety

After hip replacement twelve days ago, I am so happy that I chose the PCP raised seat with safety frame. Right out of the box, I clicked the leg extensions on and put it in my small utility bathroom. It fits perfectly. I have taped a rolled towel on the lip of the original seat so that I can (sort of) comfortably lean back a bit to avoid the 90 degree limit for my new joint advised by my orthopedic surgeon. After reading 100’s of reviews on other brands and types, I decided that the PCP might be best for me. I have set it up over my standard oval bowl and have also tried it with a comfort height long bowl. Both work equally well. It is easily adjusted to any height. At 5’7”, Setting the back legs on notch 3 and front legs on notch 2 is good for me. The highest notch (5) would be suitable for a very tall person. I measured my bowl opening at 10 1/2” x 13”. The PCP is 8 3/4” x 9 3/4”. The splash shield extends 6 1/2” down into the bowl and completely encircles the bowl . EXCELLENT! NO SPLASH or leaking anywhere. (I checked with a black light) This unit is very stable and safe. I love that one reviewer said she also used it as a light, portable shower seat. Great! I thought of her when I needed to make a lengthy phone call. I grabbed the PCP from the bathroom and gratefully sat down at proper height to use the kitchen wall phone. In comparing with with the attached models that require removing the toilet seat and lid and and then (ugh) bolting directly to the base, or the ones that attach to the front lip of the bowl.....not for me. What guest is going to want to walk into a bathroom with a semipermanent raised seat on the toilet? As to the attached raised toilet seats, there are endless complaints about scary instability, movement of seat on the bowl, leaking out the front, unsatisfactory for grown men to use, etc..... Shortcomings as I see it of PCP: (1) one leg seemed shorter on mine. I am no engineer so I used a little piece of 1x2” and slipped under that foot to level the unit. Since then, I just adjusted the length of that one leg to a different notch. Works fine! Yes, the PCP is more expensive than some, but I would NEVER return this multipurpose seat. It is so portable and easy to take right out if the bathroom and put in a closet if you have company...or take in the car when you go visit family. Trust me!!! The newer “comfort height” toilets are not tall enough to substitute for this raised seat with frame. (2) 17” span between the frame handlesmight be a bit narrow for a larger person. Wouldn’t it be nice if someone would design a safe, adjustable frame for larger body type?...or better yet! have the PCP available in 2 sizes. I think that is a great idea... (3) many reviews complained about raised toilets being very restrictive because of the smaller size of bowl opening. All are smaller but I did get used to it. It is certainly a common issue that could be addressed by all manufacturers. Oh yes, the “wiping” issue. No way to really wipe sitting on a raised seat...it seems foreign but just stand up and wipe. Flush toilet tissue in the toilet and then follow up with “Costco Baby Wipes” (NO flushing) and put in a little wastebasket to dump later. I even use a Costco wipe to swipe over the seat and splash guard to keep everything tidy.
