I have just installed this seat, looks very nice but when lifting BOTH, the lid stays nicely, but the seat does not and wants to drop.

That must be broken. I have 3 of them and just tested them. Both parts float down on all 3 toilets.

After a long search, this seat fit perfectly but works the same way. The manufacturer should probably point out in the description that the lid remains up and lowers slowly to prevent slamming when you close it. However, when the seat is raised, if not held up it lowers slowly to promote closing. Loved by females - very inconvenient for males.

I have two of these seats, and they work fine. There's some kind of hydraulic mechanism that allows the seat and lid to slowly drop, instead of slamming down. Maybe the hydraulic mechanism was set too strong in yours, that's causing the problem. I don't know if it's adjustable. You may want to contact the manufacturer about it.

That's my experience as well. I have three of them in my home, and in the case of two of them the lid will stay up but the seat (due to its spring-loaded mechanism) wants to slowly fall down. In the case of the other one, both the lid & seat stay up nicely. Since I'm a guy, I wish they all worked like the one in which the seat & lid both stay up. But it's a slight inconvenience I have learned to live with... What can I say!

I have two of these and the lids are very secure, though they do not screw on. There is a slight bulge that catches the lid to help it stay on.

its been a while since i had this but i believe it should just twist/pull/pop right off. i dont remember the lid being an issue for me.

You have to push the lid down. It should not have upward tension, if so you may have purchased a hing with too powerful of a spring (45-55lbs when your lid is 15-25lbs). If the lid springs back up at you... There's your sign.

We had this same issue when we had a cover on the lid part. It would not let it open far enough to stay up.

I LOVE this toilet, it is VERY sturdy and you won't have a feeling it will tip over. Looks great too. Only issue I have si with the seat, I still can't get it connected properly. Slides when connected. Not the toilet I just don't understand how to connect the seat properly. I would purchase it again..

Mine actually holds surprisingly well. I can hold it face down and shake it and it won't open. I have dropped it and it's popped open, but during regular, daily use, I'm very pleased.

The lid doesn't feel as if it is tight, but it is as it cooks really good. My insert doesn't move around a lot, si m not sure what is going on with yours. Hopefully someone else can answer this. I am sorry I can not be any more helpful. I am happy with mine and I would recommend it.

Tes, you can lift lid w/ hand (not engaging the pedal system) and it stays open.

What I did was measure the opening on the lid, mine fell within the range of this top. Just make sure you order whichever top is within the size of your lid opening. I did have to use the metal ring that comes with it to hold it on, but I've not been sorry I ordered it.

The seat assembly slides off the bowl if you want to clean the bowl or you can just raise the seat and clean the bowl. this seat is amazing. I looked at many and decided on this one, good price and it does the job. Hope this helps if not let me know.

That's a bit odd, we have had no trouble latching the lid. Are you sure you are seating the lid properly; if so, then, as inlikely as it may be, perhaps the lid is misshaped or the latch deffective.

Not sure why it says that. The lid lifts up but the lid frame comes off . The lid is attached to the outer frame . Hope this makes sense

I have purchased and installed 2 of these seats and have not had this problem. Once it is opened all the way, it should not close until you nudge it down. Was it installed too close to the tank?

We don't seem to have this problem. Be sure all the packing tape has been removed, and also if you put down the stablelizing bar, that you put it up to close. We just pull up on the seat and push in. Hope you have better luck.

I haven't sat on the lid, but durability was a concern of mine for the adult seat itself. As a person of "ample carriage," our previous seat would flex a bit and didn't feel sturdy. This seat actually feels MORE sturdy than the old one. It's solid, molded wood and is more rigid than the old one. I think the placement of the spacers underneath the adult seat (resting on the toilet bowl) are placed in a better position to support weight.

Yes, the lid stays up very well. The lid is very sturdy, as well as the basket itself. I have now had this product for over a year and still love it to this day.
