Is this a comfort height (tall) or child height (short) toilet? Home depot's website spec sheet says child...is this wrong?

It is definitely NOT a child height toilet. I am thinking like toilets in a nursery school or something. Not that short at all. It is a regular grown-up chair height, but not as high as the Vespin II. I just measured it, with the seat down, but the lid up. The seat height is 16" from the floor.Mine has had NO problems whatsoever. Flushes everything perfectly the first time. It is a dual flush, with the greater amount used for #2, and is completely adequate.

typical toilet height for adult. i reviewed this a few years ago and the low water flow aspect continues to cause flushing problems and expensive plumber visits.

Goldilocks seat: not tall, not short--just right. The specs give you the height. Just compare that number with the toilet you have.

The rim height (without seat) is 15-3/8". In my mind that makes it 'standard' height. Comfort height is usually at least 1" taller. I'm not sure what qualifies as a child height toilet.

We have an average height toilet and the 9" size works great. We plan to get a taller toilet, be cause I do am short and the 9" will work great for it too. This has been a fantastic product and definitely has helped the situation. Doesn't take long for your body to adjust to this squatting position, just feels more natural and keeps things moving....on!

The Tall-Ette fits over a standard toilet and is adjustable several inches either way. My Dad is 5/8" and the toilet in his assisted living facility was a little bit low for him. This adds a few inches to the toilet so that he does not have to use so much arm strength to get back up. It has been a very durable and sturdy product. After a couple of months' use, we are still very happy with the purchase.

I'm 5'2" and I got the 9". It's perfect for me. Didn't think of measuring the toilet.

Squatty Potty say on their website: "The Squatty Potty® works perfectly with ANY standard toilet. A 7" Squatty Potty works with both standard (14"-15.5") and comfort height (16"-18") toilets. If you are limber or an advanced squatter, a 9" Squatty Potty will work best." But in another section on the website they say the 7" stores best under a standard height toilet and the 9" stores best under the taller toilet. You do not squat or 'hover' over the toilet with either version, you still sit on the toilet seat. However, the difference being your body is at the correct angle for elimination.

No. I wish I had seen this before I ordered. Nowhere in the item description makes you think to question the height. Its a small toilet. I have never seen one so small.

Actually it is 17. Sorry. I had a 12 inch but I wanted a higher profile so I got this one. If you need 12 there is a shorter version of this same toilet, you'll just need to look. Go look at Pro Rv online...they have a lot of stuff as well.

The 5" is the height above the toilet bowl. The seat has a little over 1" that fits into the toilet bowl. You MUST put you seat up and then put the raised one on. Put your toilet seat up and measure from the floor to the top of the bowl then add 5"; that is how high it will be. (13" bowl + 5" = 18").Hope this helps you. I took mine into work where a 13" bowl is too short (I have bad knees), I love it!

12 inch rough-in. As I recall. I had no problem, except one should be careful in sizing the hole in the flooring. The toilet base seemed to be a bit on the narrow side, so if the specs call for 10" diameter hole don't go over that .

Toilets generally have 2 heights... the shorter which u usually find in homes, and the slighly higher like you often find in commercial places, or handicapped stalls. This is the taller of the two.... it's about 1.5" higher to the rim than the other. If installing for someone getting "older", 50's, 60's... then the taller one is often appreciated.

My toilet is 16" and I'm about your height. I tried the 9" but went with the 7" one instead. It works very well. Good luck with yours! Joan

I'm out of town or I would measure for you but like others said it should fit perfectly on a standard round toilet seat. We have the basic of all basic toilets in our home and its perfect! It doesn't move all around on the toilet so your little one will feel safe and not like they will fall in. Hope this helps!

It is 16.5 to the top of the bowl edge, "Comfort Height". Most regular toilets are 15.

This is for a full size toilet. The child seat is built into the top cover. If you purchase it make sure to order the correct seat either round or elongated.

I'm 6'2" tall and this raises my 15" high toilet to just the right height for me. If your toilet is 16 1/2" and your mother is 5'3", this will be too tall for her unless her legs are really long.
