to use over commode, does one remove the bucket? Is there still a toilet seat on which to sit?

This commode can be placed over a toilet and the bucket removed when users want the arms to assist them getting up and down. Also the commode toilet seat and lid can stay on or be removed separately. When the bucket is removed the toilet seat is supported in the front and rear but not on the sides. This is true even if the shield is in place. Over time there could be a problem with breakage of the toilet seat if a very heavy person was using this commode without the bucket.

There is a toilet seat on which to sit. The bucket (with lid) removes easily so the unit could fit over a porcelain toilet. Hope this helps.

Yes, you remove the bucket to use over a regular toilet seat. There is still a seat to use without the bucket.

Yes to both questions. The back brace is also removable. It can be removed for use with standard size toilets or left on for use with elongated toilets.

I just received this tote-able toilet seat and found out why there is so much confusion about fitting these onto a bucket. Perhaps some of them are a little easier but mine seemed impossible. I weigh over 250 and I was unable to press the seat onto the bucket in any way shape or form. Then I discovered the secret on mine was to not press the seat onto the bucket but to press the bucket onto the seat! After doing it this way I was able to fit the lid onto every bucket I had in my house which included buckets from Aubuchon, Walmart, VIP, and Home Depot. A small person may need to improvise with added weight or the help of a second person but this is how it worked for me: 1) Lay the seat onto firm but soft flat surface (carpet) upside down with the lid opening tab facing away from you and the hinge toward you. 2) Loosely place the bucket upside down onto the center ring of the seat with the bucket handle lined up with the seat lid tab (away from the hinge). 3) Kneeling behind the hinge of the seat lay your chest on the bucket so the bucket lip closest to you pushes into the seating ring first. 4) Slowly rock your weight forward pushing the lip of the bucket into the ring working both sides toward the front. You can run your fingers behind seam as it closes but do not let your weight get in front of the seam or the back will pop back out. 5) As the rear and sides of the bucket lip slide into the seating ring you will be able to look down at the front of the bucket and see the lip bulging out over approximately 6 inches of the front of the ring when it is almost seated. 6) When the lip is no longer slipping into the seating ring, smack the bulging part with your fist or a rubber mallet, which will pop it into place with an audible snap.

Yes, remove the old toilet seat, this new one looks really nice and it is easy to install. it is not even noticeable that it is not the original.

you mention the toilet seat does not have to be removed, yet your photograph of it in use does not show a raised toilet seat behind...what gives?

It is not necessary to remove the seat. It is not necessary to remove the seat. The seat fits on the bowl of the toilet. There is a large locking plastic adjustable screw on the front that allows it to be adjusted to fit any toilet. I used it after knee replacement surgery and I weighed 200lbs at the time. Hope this helps.

I find this thread funny. I always sit on the toilet first and then slide my SP out from underneath and put my feet up on it. No need to remove pants either.

either way, we use over the toilet with open bottomed pail. Can be used as independent commode too.

Does not have a traditional seat to begin with like a regular toilet. Just a hole in the board that makes up the top of the commode. Hope this helps.

It was not Amazon's fault, but the manufacturer's fault in that all the dimensions were different from the description!! So, I had to return it! The seat was so small that I (a very small woman) could hardly sit on the seat!! The width and height of the whole commode was smaller than the dimensions given. This commode was not at all what the manufacturer described. It is overall too small, and might not fit over your toilet. There are other commodes that specifically state that they can fit over a toilet; so check out if it does first. Hope this information helps you.

Round pot, slightly oval seat opening.. I am bi-lateral amputee, 144#, but chose bariatric commode in order to have more potty space to lay my transfer board on it. I also found it wide enough to fit it tight over the existing toilet - do your business and flush!

Be careful. The company makes both padded and unpadded seats. The padded seats hold the most weight and are the most comfortable. The unit fits over the commode easily. I've never used the bucket or the splash guard.

yes very easy to remove my wife was able to take care of it when she had her knee surgery---- just simply sets right on the seat no straps --and fits both shapes of toilet

It is really not designed for that. The question is not clear to me. If you had a 'chamber pot' you could move the seat, which does have small opening over it, but it could get messy.I would definitely not try it over a toilet. A commode to me is a free standing item with a back, arm rests, a seat with a large hole and a removable 'bucket' or pan. Better to get a real commode.

yes that is correct. You still need to purchase a potty seat to go over the regular toilet seat.

Yes, no problem just take out the bowl and adjust the height~we also had to leave the toilet lid up because it works better, very nice commode for the price...

Here are the instructions exactly as they appear on the back of the package: "Place the PottyCover on the toilet seat, as shown in the above photograph. After use, dispose in the trash receptacle. DO NOT FLUSH." They can be a bit tedious to unfold all the way if you are in a small space and in a hurry, but they work great!

Sorry I don't know the answer to Question 1. You need to purchase a toilet seat separately for this toilet.
