How is the seat riser attached to the toilet bowl so it doesn't slip when getting on and off?

You undo the current seat & use the new one with it's longer screws to attach to the toilet. It's sturdy and doesn't wiggle if you attach it correctly.

There are two really long screws that attach just under the regular toilet seat that hold the toilet seat and the riser together on the toilet. I have tightened mine once in several months.

With bolts just as the regular toilet seat is. Very easy to removed the old seat with a screw driver and put on the new seat. When we moved with took the drive medical seat off and re-installed the regular seat. It only took about 10 minutes each time.

Take off present seat, included in new seat are two long bolts that go into the two holes in toilet bowl. Very simple operation, attached nuts to bolts and tighten screws, after a day or two of use, retighten bolts.

Long bolts are included and extend through the riser and your regular toilet seat.

No, the seat doesn't slide off. The legs are assembled after the seat is installed. The back is fastened with Phillips screws so that could be replaced, but not the seat

It doesn't slip really, it has rubber on the feet, but you might want to consider the kind that screws onto the toilet. My husband could only use his right arm also and it was a bit wobbly but really depends on his balance. With the four legs it's pretty stable and getting the height adjusted correctly helps too. hope this helps.

This seat actually sits on top of the existing toilet seat -- not in it. That way, if folks do not want to use the raised seat, it is simply removed for regular use of the toilet. The 'grippers' on the bottom of the Yunga kept it from sliding off. I hope this helps. The Yunga was indispensable after my hip replacement surgery.

It has a lip around the bottom which fits inside the bowl, effectively making it unable to slide off. May not fit as stable on an elongated commode - but works great on the round bowl.

It is smooth with two rubber feet at the front of the bottom cover. I have not had any issues with it slipping off items.

It has some anti slip padded stickers on the bottom as well as a slight lip around the inside bottom to keep it from sliding around the toilet. It just sets on the toilet, very easy to take on and off.

There are indentions in the side so u can raise & lower yourself which would be hard to do if it were all solid plastic all the way around & same size w/out the places to hold. This is a GREAT toilet booster seat & I am about to buy another one to travel with. It's very durable & does not slip on my toilet (or any I've used it on) Some reviews said it does -- but I haven't experienced that. I've had mine 2 to 3 yrs & no damage @ all & I clean it 1-2 times daily w/ Clorox wipes & lysol spray. Hope I answered ur question.. The indentions really help w/ raising & lowering your body

With both the toilet lid and toilet seat up, it just sits over the top edge of the toilet bowl. No installation or any other parts required. Works great!

Hi Milton, The seat adds 5" to the toilet height from the top of the bowl without the actual toilet seat down. The regular toilet seat is up when you use the raised seat. It is more stable this way set directly on the bowl. It really does helps. I still use mine 1 year after hip surgery. Take care, William.

Noelie - The riser sits right on the surface of the toilet bowl lip and fits tightly enough that there really shouldn't be a need for a lip to make a better seal. The current seat hasn't been a problem for my parents and they have been using theirs for several months now.

No, you just have to lift the toilet seat, and this sets right down on the porcelaen, with a ridge on the bottom that keeps it from sliding.

I've had this installed for about a month and we've had no problems with it slipping. My husband and I are always adjusting it because of our difference in height. The holder is metal. the only part that is plastic is the button that you push to adjust the holder on the slide bar.

I think it should be possible by using longer bolts connecting the toilet lid (through the bidet) and the toilet bowl. In other words substitute longer bolts to connect the toilet lid and bowl. You would need two bolts long enough to pass through the riser seat. I have not actually tried this method but do not see why it would not work. Good luck!

The unit comes with a flange that fits over the rear cross piece and the bolts from the toilet seat go through the flange and when tightened holds the seat and unit firmly in place . There are adjustment holes in the unit that allow the legs and arm width to be customized . It is a simple installation and no mechanical knowledge is required .

The slight rise at the back of the toilet seat is not really the problem. The problem is what the toilet seat is made of, some are made of inexpensive plastic or composit you need to get a quality seat. I've got a Kohler seat and have no trouble at all.

No, I wouldn't try that. It's never even entered my mind. It's meant to be set on the porcelain toilet rim - after you've lifted up the existing seat. Depending upon the shape of their toilet bowls, some folks apparently have to use the included sticky pads. I've not encountered that. That's why I love this item so well. For me, it fits perfectly the way it comes out of the box.
