Is it "strong" enough for my 91 yr old Mom to pull on when I have to "roll" her from 1 side to the other to clean her & change her diaper. Falling out is NOT the issue!

Yes that is another reason we have it. She loves it. She said it makes her feel safer when I am changing her.

I think yes...but I will pull on it tonight and consider how well it would work.....and then respond again. I take one side bar off every morning....and it is very easy to manage. The other way to get the person out of the bed is to lower the bar in place....which does not work for me because the bed is low....and the top rail bumps her legs as she gets out.I will check and let you know tonight....Bless you for being a caregiver...it is tough.

Ii can't actually answer the question since we never received the parts we need to install it on a bed. I do know it will not work on anything larger than a twin bed, and it does not seem very strong, but wiggly when pulled on.

for a 91 year old, it should be. my grandma uses it to brace her self when we are transporting her. she also uses it to slide push herself up when she is trying to escape.

It supported my 160 lb husband when he pulled on it to sit up, turn over, or move up or down in the bed. Since the cross bars are under the mattress it is held by the weight of the mattress and the person. We had no problems with tipping or anything even with our double Select Comfort bed which is air filled.

I have really had to fight my cat to keep this diaper on. He is a contortionist. And not as old as your cat. At first he could get out of it in no time. I have had to try different things. Today I used 2 safety pins where the Velcro comes together. So far so good. I do not think that the bob tail will be a problem. If he is old and somewhat docile, I think it will work. If he is very skinny, you might want to try the safety pins to make it a little tighter.

I think it would get in the way of changing diaper... Especially when one has to work quickly for particularly "bad" diapers. I've had four children and have eight grandchildren, so have experienced lots of diaper dilemmas....I try to do the job so quickly that the baby doesn't have time to get involved with a mobile

I wouldn't say it is loose, when my child sit on the potty he can't fall from it. But he is able to take it off when he is standing up and playing with the potty.

I had a female greyhound 76 lbs, so tail is straight down, no resistance at all, and the diaper cover stayed on...the diaper on it's own did tend to creep down tho.Also I should note the diapers were too small, probably a medium She had a small tuck,,,but the covers were x-lge and because of the velcro tightened up enough and worked out great

If your mom is light to normal weight, it has good surface texture for traction. The bolts (screws) are supporting the weight at the high end and leaned some with a wheelchair coming down or going up. It is well made. I would have liked more bracing, sorry haven't checked it wet, but I think the surface texture would grip shoes.

As long as they have on an elastic waistband or onesie, I don't think it's a problem. My daughter is 1-1/2 now and still wears it at night. As long as you put the diaper on tight enough, it stays put. I rarely took hers off during the first year...and she was walking at 9 months and super active. I've even heard some people that have put it on the side or back of the diaper.

My boy is 9 months old and pulls up on it and it holds him really well. Hope that helps!

I feel confident that they would work well for fecal incontinence also. They can be torn apart at the sides for easy removal. When my 91 year old dad wakes up in the morning, he says that his "pull up" is dry, but it weighs a "ton" with urine. They pull moisture away so well that the patient feels dry. I believe in this product. It has been great for us. Good luck.

I have never done it but you could anchor the harness to the sides of the changing table if it is the rung type (you have to have something to slip it through and wrap around). The harness comes up pretty high. Your little one would still be able to wiggle and flail legs but it would probably keep him from flipping himself over. It would take a minute to get him all harnessed up each diaper changing but it may be worth it. My 17 month old is going through that same stage - freaking out during diaper changes.

It is really designed for pulling, but you can manage pushing as well. Just that's a bit more effort. We mostly pull ours

Yeah it's pretty strong. My little guy would pull on it when I wrapped it twice around his ankle or wrist and it didn't break.. And he is very strong.

It's a bit tight on the first few pulls, Then it's fine. I love it. But it is tight till you get some off. All in wall toilet roll holders are going to be tight on big rolls, to my knowledge.

I believe it's a combined weight limit of 100lbs. So you should be good for a bit! We love ours. Our daughter is over 50lbs and it's really easy pulling her.

I ended up not using it. The diaper holder is great for small diapers, but not as well with the larger diapers. It also slipped all over the place. It took up more room than I wanted so I ended up getting a wipes warmer for the dresser and putting a small shelf above the dresser got a few cute baskets to put diapers, nail clippers, ointments etc in. This worked great, especially once the baby started to wiggle around....then everything was out of his reach!

I think the answer is a little subjective based on the amounts expelled. We bought these for our female when in heat. There were a couple of times that she managed to 'slip out of the hous' before we took it off and urinated in the diaper by accident. It held it just fine but it wasn't a lot of urine either. So it would probably do the job for you and having the two of them, allows you to wash one between the wears or if accidents occur.

If you secure the first time it will hold.I left it in place. I used for my mom who is on the heavy side, clean up was not so easy but that was my niece's job
