Would you still buy this toilet seat or would you buy the one with the front opening? What made you decide on this one?

My husband loves this one. I would still buy this seat. My husband saw it at the VA and that is why I ordered it.

i love my big john toilet seat. it is very comfortable. i would not buy the one with a front opening, i guess because i've just never owned one. maybe i'm afraid of getting a leg pinched or something.

It depends upon what you need. When I bought mine, front openings were not an option. Since I self-cath, a frontal opening would definitely be an advantage. However, I do this procedure with the present one I have. Good luck!

Hi - I just prefer the full version rather than the open front. So, I don't have any advice on that matter. But, I would buy this again in a second. It is very sturdy and very comfortable. Plus I love the extra height. I chose this more expensive model because it had the lid (one model doesn't) and because it is made with sturdy metal hardware. The cheaper version had plastic hardware that some reviewers reported broke easily. This was VERY easy to install, by the way.

When "big john" seat was purchased, I don't recall having a choice of open or closed seat. The front opening seat is probably easier to keep clean. We bought the full seat for better hip support for a handicapped child. It's great for all of us, tho'; and you notice the difference between big john and seats in public restrooms or other homes. I would say that a full seat gives better support and is more "home-like" while an open seat may be easier to clean.

We are very happy with the Big John toilet seat. Didn't really note the one with the front opening, so can't be any help with that decision. This one works great for my husband who is a big guy and with his artificial hip, extra height helps a lot. It's much better than the 4 inch thick riser they gave him after hip surgery.

I purchased the open front style and upon installing it, immediately sent it back and ordered this model instead. I'm sure there's a need for the open-style, but since the seat is about 2 inches tall, that means there's a 2 inch by 5 or 6 inch opening in the front. Sorry to be gross, but there's no delicate way to phrase this... if the user had diarrhea or something, I can't imagine having such a huge gap wouldn't end in having a bit of cleaning up to do!

Fits quite well on ours. We set it in the front (it doesn't cover the entire seat) and it sits without moving. Our 3 yr old has no trouble with it. It is difficult for the kiddos to get on and off the toilet themself because of the bigger and higher toilets not because of the seat though.

I would say that it adds a couple of inches. It's the best toilet seat we have EVER owned. I can't imagine EVER having to replace it because it is so very well-made but IF we ever did have to replace it I can't even FATHOM ever going back to a "regular" toilet seat!

The Roho Airhawk is an awesome seat! I've been using them for over 6 years. I just had to replace ours and made the mistake of buying this one >> it's not the one you want - it's not the Pro & it's way over priced. Go directly to Roho, get free shipping, go Pro with the side adjustment, standard (my & most truck seat size) or large (to big unless you have a special big seat) and enjoy the (even at reg price) savings.

This is the best answer I can give... Yes I bought the item. Yes, I was very very pleased with it. I installed it at our "summer/fishing/hunting" house. Yes, I got a ton of favorable comments. Now to your real question. I don't have it anymore because, I had some remodeling done in the bathroom by a contractor. During the remodel, the seat was broken. A BIG Boo Hoo for me. So, going on memory, it was a good fit for a "round" conventional toilet bowl. I do not "think" it would fit on a bowl that is elongated or of a commercial style. Best of luck.

I love this raised toilet seat. I wouldn't want the ones with handles but you may need to help you.

It came with the hinges and I really like the seat. It is a solid seat. My other elongated seat feels like it might break if I stand on it to get to high shelves above the toilet, but not the Church. 100% satisfied with it.

It was very similar to a standard toilet seat opening, don't know measurements. The opening in the front was helpful. The seat was good for anyone, esp. an obese person. My mother passed and we gave the seat to our cousin. Just buy it.

As far as the seat, no need. However there is a hose attachment that you will need to purchase. I would "toto-lly" call toto usa for all additional part numbers. They were very helpful. Good Luck cause I LOVE MY TOTO. I find myself disgracing other toilette while I stand there in disgrace "you don't even flush yourself or raise your seat for me???How pathetic. you have no future!"

Hello. This seat is VERY easy to put on and remove. It is extremely sturdy and stable. It is also very compact in design and does not take up space outside the normal toilet seat area. We got these for both bathrooms when my husband had a hip replacement and they were EXCELLENT. I hope this helps you out.

If you buy it at lowes it comes with a very nice seat and everything needed to install the toilet. If you buy it through amazon you need to buy a seat and wax ring separately. You will love this toilet it's truly amazing I promise. Tks!

It comes with what looks like a very nice seat. I like the quick release type toilet seats for easy cleaning so I did not install the one that came with the toilet. From the "small print" in the item listing: "Toto's SoftClose seat is the latest in innovative smart seat technology with Comfortable Ergonomic Design, Molded Bumpers, and High Gloss Polypropylene. (Resistant to Chemicals and Cleaning Agents.) Constructed of solid, high-impact plastic, this unique seat is specifically designed to reduce injury and to eliminate annoying "Toilet Seat Slam". The seat and lid utilize a built-in SoftClose hinge system, which lowers the seat down to the bowl gently and quietly".

I don't know what you need to know but our toilet seat is great. No problems with it.

I bought the 7 inch because I have an older toilet and it's shorter than the newer ones. Measure the height to get an idea of which size would work best.

It measures 10" across the center. Narrower at the back and front made for an oval toilet but looks round. If I had to do over i would not go for the open front i would pay more for the closed seat. I ask my husband his thoughts if we had a do over and he does not like the open frontier her. Also it sits 2" higher on the toilet bowl so if short legged keep that in mind this is one thing i really do not like about it.
