Are any of you short, like 5'3"? According to my measurements, my mother's toilet is 16-1/2" tall with the seat up...will she be uncomfortably high?

I am 5'5" and my toilet height is 16-1/2" as well. My feet just touch the floor...hers would probably not touch but depending on how flexible she is, she could just bend her foot forward and her toes would touch

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.

I had to return it. My mother is 5' and it was to high I ordered Ez2care Deluxe Raised Toilet Seat with arms and she has no problem getting off and on. I hope this helps.

I used this as I had knee surgery. Remember that this does not have any arms to lift up with so you will need to have the walker in front of her or arms that allow her to lift herself up especially if she has had surgery. I am short--5'2".

Hello Kathy,We bought this for my wife after her hip surgery. We discovered that it would be dangerous when trying to stand up after using it so we went with one that the hospital recommended. It has arms that you can use to lift yourself up with. Without those the inexpensive seat is fairly dangerous as it can shift on you when standing. I hope this helps.

I would put the toilet seat down and add a 2" phone book or something similar to simulate the height of the toilet with the Yunga seat, and see if mom is comfortable sitting at that height.

My mother is under five feet and the chair works fine for her. Three of my friends have bought it for their taller parents and haven't complained. There are foot rests. Google to find the dimensions and compare to a larger transport chair..........This seat is 15-16 inches deep.

I frankly did not measure my toilet, but I would say it is standard height, not the new tall option some people have. I am right around your height, and I got the 7" one and am very happy with that height. Best wishes with it! I like mine.

I am 5' 3" and I was able to use this walker and there were even lower adjustments available. Good luck to your Mom!

This will work for you! my mother was shorter than 5'....just don't try to put it together, have someone else do it!

I don't see that it's any lower than any other standard toilet. I'm a bathroom remodeler and install a lot of them. No complaints. Are you comparing it to a comfort height toilet, which is higher.

I don't know what a tall toilet is, what is that? Where can I find one, it sounds incredible. But to your question, as long as the seat is a standard or long seat, it should be fine

Yes, I am tall with hip/spine issues and this product fits over a regular toilet to provide a few extra inches of height and a comfortable ''sit''.

No. Our vanity is 31.5 inches high and my stool is 16 inches high. I'm 5 ft 3. It works great.

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

You control the width by adjusting the welles step to the size of your toilet. The height is definitely not too tall. It is designed to allow your feet will rest exactly where they should. I love it!

Its five inches above the toilet. Works very well. If you are under 5,2 you may have a problem.But other then that its great.

My wife is 5'1" and she loves it. She's been bugging me to replace our other toilet with this one because she likes it so much.

I would say no. Our toilet is 16 inches with the lid and the seat up. We put it over the toilet with the lid and seat up. But if we put the seat down, it wouldn't fit over it then. I hope this helps.

One of the reviews suggested that the footrest rungs were too low, and being that I'm only 5.2, I was concerned as well. I was happy to discover that the higher rungs worK just fine for a shortie like me ;). I'm not home right now so I can't measure, but they're probably 7-8 inches from the floor. They are comfortable stools, no problem at all. Good luck!

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.

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.
