This works wonderfully by allowing the user to sit down softly and to rise with support like an arm chair.

Product made well EXCEPT for the armrests. Absorbent, so impossible to properly sanitize.

Nice product

Very easy to assemble, took less than 15 minutes total. Sturdy, fits my elongated toilet bowl and provides the support I needed to stand up safely. Compact and doesn't get in the way since it rests on the bowl lip and not metal legs that I could stub toes on. I like that feature a lot. Great price for peace of mind and safety.

Less bulky handrails

I bought these for my mother, who may have had difficulty getting up and down. She said the bars got in her way, and that she did not need or want the handrails. They may have worked fine, if she was willing. So ,back to the store they go!

Best toilet rail

This toilet rail snaps together quickly and attaches to toilet easily. It is adjustible and convenient. We tried others, but had to return them.
An important feature for men is that the toilet seat can be raised and lowered without interferance. My husband had one installed at his office and one at home to enhance his recover from hip surgery. Great product at a reasonable price.

Carex toilet support for my mother

Excellent for 2nd bath at my mother's home who is independent at 95 in her own home.
This model is very nice. The Carex model that was purchased previously is the one with feet that is a few dollars less than this one, but it is more intrusive.
I would recommend this model over the prior one.

This is a very durable and stable support to aid in getting up and down from the toilet seat. It is very easy to install and does not take up a lot of space.

Review 10 for Carex Toilet Support Rail

Works fine

When I was putting this on, it didn't seem to be as sturdy/stable as I was expecting since the front legs are merely resting on the toilet bowl. However, when weight is applied (as when using the rails to help push up from the toilet) it feels quite stable and doesn't seem to slide around. No problems noted so far.

Good design
Posted 05/14/2012
This is better than the other support bars where the front bar runs across the toilet seat. That type gets wet and rusts but this one does not rust because it does not cover the front of the toilet seat, which is a very good design. It stays clean that way, too.

While regaining his mobility after a stroke, we determined that my husband needed something to assist him when using the toilet. Our bathroom is small and this product looked like the perfect answer. I installed this in less than 10 minutes on the toilet and found it to be very stable and sturdy. It has been a tremendous help for him to keep his balance when sitting or rising from the toilet.

As an older lady living alone this sure is a life saver. Younger people don't realize that when they get older they will need this kind of equiptment too. Go ahead and say NO now, but the day will come when you'll change your tune. I know as I had to.

Review 14 for Carex Toilet Support Rail

Good not Perfect

I have recently purchased and installed three of the Carex Toilet Support Rails. Over all the quality is good and they are very sturdy when installed.
There are several design flaws to be taken into account before installing.
1. The holes in the mounting plate that the toilet seat bolts go through are not large enough to accept the bolts on all brands of toilet seats. The better quality Bemis brand of seat with metal hinges will not work. This required buying a new seat or drilling out the holes to 5/8". I went with the toilet seat. (Not that I don't enjoy a challange, but a new 5/8" drill bit cost almost as much as a new seat!)
2. The bolt and hardware provided for the back upright supports only allow the tightning knobs to be installed on the outside. It should be designed to work either way as the knobs can get in the way when outside.

THIS IS VERY EASY TO PUT TOGETHER, MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION TO A AND B ON THE BACK BARS ........THE PUSH IN BUTTONS DON'T LINE UP AND SNAP INTO PLACE IF THEY ARE BACKWARDS.
VERY EASY TO PUT TOGETHER...REALLY NICE NOT TO HAVE A BAR ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE FRONT LIKE SOME MODELS........VERY SECURE.
NOT FOR PLUS SIZE TO NARROW.
WOULD WORK WELL FOR KNEE REPLACEMENTS AS WELL AS SENIORS.
MY PARENT LOVED IT.
