Is the base of the seat also slow close as it is "molded wood", or only the lid?

Both the lid, and the toilet seat, are "slow close". The little potty seat in the middle is not, but if you push it up it magnetically attaches to the lid (which is "slow close")

Yes, the base of the seat and the lid both slow close. The toddler insert does not, but it is made of a lighter plastic so it doesn't make too much noise on its own.

All three parts are slow close, lid, child's seat and adult seat. It's very quiet. We use it with our grandchild. Our daughter has one that is similar but doesn't have the slow close function and the constant slamming of the seat is driving her crazy! She wishes she'd gotten this style.

No, the seat is very narrow. Plus, the leather feels like plastic. I rarely sat in the chair and ended up selling it.

It has a "Padded" feel. It's not hard and cold like a normal toilet seat is. There is also a slight Vinyl feel to it as well, but it quickly disappears after a couple seconds.

The seat is some sort of produced wood with no seams! The old one I had which was much more $$$, had several seams and not as attractive. For the price, this one is worth buying. Of course there's another selling for about $80 and if you like spending $$$, go for that. Otherwise, enjoy the good looks of this seat and its nice finish (especially if your butt is on it).

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.

The lid is slow to open, because it is a pressurized cooker. Perfectly normal. Just push the button and wait for it to lift on its own.

No there is no adjustment to control the speed of closing. However, I observed the closing this morning. The seat and lid close slow enough that no noise is produced when the the seat or lid meets the toilet bowl. Hope this helps...we still think this model of toilet seat overall is uncomfortable on the bum.Our other Kohler, Quiet Close seat (we wish we knew the PN#)is very comfortable.

The seat in it? Yes, lid closes and everything is in one. Only problem is that the lid is not a backboard and will scratch the baby if leaning back against it. It can also hurt the baby badly if he/she falls backward on it.

Sorry for the delay, had to check. No, the child seat part does not slow close, only the adult ring and the main cover. Hmmm, that would have been smart.

Everything will slow shut on it except the child portion of the seat. It can slam down. It does have a strong magnet to hold it in place when not in use so that it doesn't slam.

I've never just used the slow close mechanism to lower the seat, so I don't know. You can just push the seat down and lid will stay open.

Yes it is. This chair is great...the seat and footrest are both easily adjustable, the chair is easy to clean, and it is nice looking and very sturdy real wood. Go for it.

No, in fact it's made of heavy pressed wood so it slams shut. The child seat portion is plastic and lightweight.

Brunmar, It is NOT slow-closing. While it does slam down if you don't lower it slowly with your foot, it's not a really big can, so it doesn't bang like a bigger can would. Hope this helps.

The lid is a bit sturdier than a standard plastic toilet lid. I have sat on mine but for a very short time. I wouldn't recommend longer. It's plastic, not wood.

It's cushy. Okay to sit on but not for someone who's very heavy. My grandkids sit on it regularly, but a heavy person could probably cave the lid. Otherwise it's pretty durable. Nice storage for throws etc. Cleans nicely. We've had it for a year. Overall happy eith it.

It is a lightweight lid. I recommend this pan and have owned for over a year with no concerns about wear or performance.
