My current Kohler seat is very flimsy. With the lid closed, if you sit on the lid, will it bend/flex, or does it remain rigid?

I bought one and then had it replaced. The replacement was also defective and I returned it. I am guessing that you do not have the gripper that is on the bottom of the seat. If you lift it up you will see a white rubber piece on both side of the seat, or you will see where one or both is missing. If one or both are missing, then the seat will be unstable. In my case, I just gave up trying. Kohler should be ashamed. They charge top dollar and give you junk (sorry for the rant).

sorry for slow response. On my unit it just snaps into place never falls of.At first it did not seat right. but with a fiddle it does snap in.

I find it to close quite softly if that's any help to you. I boght two of these seats about six months ago and am quite pleased with them. I've even received complements from guests in my home on the toilet seat.Hope this has been helpful.

Earlier units I purchased came with a not so sturdy or comfortable seats, but they are now arriving with batter quality seats and the seat does come down so slowly it makes no sound when it closes. However, one of the two I have comes down faster than the other, but not fast enough to cause an injury to a toddlers hand if the lid is up and the child pulls the lid down while having his or her hand on the toilet rim or seat.

I am not completely sure of the exact nature of your question? Are you asking about the brand, the model, the style or the material? My only experience has been with the Bemis elongated and round toilet seats made from molded wood. They do not shift "off center" provided they are securely fastened. Sometimes in cramped quarters that can be a little bit of a challenge. Just make sure you have enough "finger strength" or appropriate tool to tighten the "nut" that secures the seat to the bowl.

I think the flange is about 2" It does not move when you sit down. I was very pleased with this seat. I don't need to use it anymore and we packed it away.

I have the same problem. I just installed a new seat on my Eljer toilet. I tried using the metal washers in all three positions, to no avail. The seat will not stay up. I called tech support, but they said the only adjustment is the metal washers. Not sure of my next move--I put the old yellowed, faded seat back on.Update: Amazon sent me a replacement and I am having the same problem: Lid stays up fine, but the seat will not stay in the up position! No Adjustments that I can see---moving slotted washers does nothing. I guess I will send this one back and get a non self closing lid.

Mine fits solid. I have a slow close toilet seat with good quatity fastners. The negative I have is the thing leaks into the toilet.

No I have not experienced that. The seat that comes with the toilet is a good one, at least on the elongated shaped bowl. We recently replaced it (2+ years) but after removing it I found I could fix the reason for it coming off the hinge. There's a plastic sleeve that slipped out from it's plastic holding cage, pushed it back in. Looks like the plastic cage eventually gets a bit misshaped so it'll probably come loose again, but hasn't yet.

I don't think it really snaps. But it is a snug fit. This moves far less then the other seat I purchased. We also have an elongated toilet, so it could very well snap on a regular round bowl.

Bemis has the "whisper" close (with toddler seat) for STANDARD toilet seats. Kohler makes one for ELONGATED toilet seats.

Post a picture of your toilet. We are in a rental and the toilets are so low. I have a bad back. This seat was a lifesaver for us and so great the toilet seat sits on top and you can close the lid.

If the flange is the hard plastic round thing that secures this item to the toilet, it is 1/2 inches and doesn't move when I sit down. I only have 1 leg and I lower myself from a walker. I feel very safe that this item won't move and send me toppling.

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.

I have mine the same shape as it is in the picture. I think it would stay but I'm not 100% sure if it would bend that way. You might wanna ask the seller. Sorry I'm not any help!

I do not think there is a specific Kohler Transitions seat in round, but there are other options out there if you want an integrated child seat. Bemis has one on amazon : Bemis 583SLOW

The seat isn't rigid because it folds. I wouldn't use this seat unless you are able to support yourself and put one leg over at a time ,and if it were me I wouldn't take the chance. To answer your question, yes the seat sags when you sit on it.
