Vive Toilet Frame Rail for Elderly & Disabled - Adjustable Grab Bar Rail

My dad is disabled and has difficulty standing up from a sit. This toilet rail was easy to install (just needed a screwdriver) and is adjustable for someone's height and strength needs. The rails do not impede where his feet are they are to the sides of the toilet. The suction cups could be better. The suction cups will push outward if you do not push straight up. I think they could improve this product by also adding a brace bar in between the back and front rail for better sturdiness. However, I do really like this product. My dad is able to sit and stand without constant assistance. It was easy to install and price point was good. I would recommend this product.

My parents had a hard time getting off and on their commode even though it is handicap height. We had a riser but then tried this instead. It fixed my parents problem using the commode but also gave them security about grabbing on to something if they were wobbly on their feet. It's easy to put together & install; and we adjusted it both in height and width. The bottom of the posts had suction cups which would really add a lot more stability to it if you have an un-carpeted floor. It's a wee bit wobbly for us because my parents (ages 94 and 90) have carpeting in their bathroom. We are very happy with the product.

Installed easily without any issue. Provided hardware worked as intended. Performance of the design is all it can be. Nit when you have 3' of latterly unsupported length, the Motherinlaw can experience a wobbly mount / dismount. One floor mount suction cup fell on a grout line which is unfortunate. I may silicone glue that one to the floor, since you can't get any suction over a grout joint.

So here's the review: This item is SO great! I never realized just how much I could love a set of toilet rails. It's my new favorite thing, replacing peanut butter cups. Right now I'm doing gymnastics over my toilet, having realized that these are really just an extremely short set of paralell bars. I'm hanging mid-air in an inverted pike position. How great! The people who made these really knew what they were doing. They managed to include a steam-punk sort of industrial design with actual functionality. So clever. Ya gotta love the color, too. It's somewhere between a gun metal grey, and a gun metal grey. I'm still trying to figure out what the purpose of the suction cups on the base of the legs is, since they don't adhere to my smooth, tile floor. If I had to guess, I would say these are dual-purpose, allowing the user to ascend the tallest of glass-clad skyscrapers. One hint to new owners: If you detach one, or both legs you can place a roll of toilet paper on there. In that position it will act as a passive absorbent, sucking up random liquids on your bathroom floor. It will also lend an "interesting" look to the unit, and a great conversation starter. As I've said, I simply wanted to give this five stars.

These work great for me to get up and down. And they aren’t in the way

This is a great idea but not good because I’d it’s not sturdy. I finally got around to having it set up and there’s gotta be a better way. Elderly people count on sturdiness and this is not sturdy enough. As far as I’m concerned the only thing that is keeping it on the floor or the two suction cups that’s it otherwise it’s wobbly if the suction cup comes up on one side and you put pressure on the opposite it will definitely Come up possibly hitting the individual trying to go to the bathroom. I know I missed the return date and that’s fine but just so you know these are the issues with this item. But I think I will do is have someone glue the suction cups to the tile floor so at least it would be a little stable with that, but the item itself still wobbly.

I bought this for my mother. They were easy to set up for immediate use.

I have purchased 4 of these units in the past 6 months or so. These units have had slightly different mixes of features. Depending on which set of features you get, the overall quality ranges from 3 stars to 5 stars. However, I have noticed that the more recent purchases had more of the better features so hopefully these are product improvements being worked in as production goes along, and that all future units have the best feature set. The variable features are 1) the ends of the vertical legs, which may be round caps such as on the end of a crutch, or wide suction cups, and 2) the method of attaching the arms to the mounting plate under the toilet seat, which may be detent pegs or screw-in wing nuts. The 1st 2 units I purchased had the round cap leg ends and the detent balls. The 3rd has suction cup feet and detent balls, which was a bit better. The 4th and most recent had the suction cups and the wingnuts, which was the best. The detent balls, especially with the round cap feet, allow the arms to wobble a fair amount, which is a problem for users who themselves are wobbly. This is the 3-star version. The suction cup feet limit arm wobble a lot even with the detent balls, but there's still some wobble. This is the 4-star version. The wingnuts plus suction cups make the arms totally rigid. This is the 5-star version. Hopefully this will be the configuration from here on. Regardless of version, all these units assemble and mount to the toilet very easily, like in about 5 minutes. Any difficulty with installation will be due to the existing toilet seat mounting hardware, not this unit. As the toilet seat has to be removed and then reattached, certain types of mounting hardware are easier than others. So your mileage will vary depending on your pre-existing toilet seat hardware.

Un accesorio imprescindible si hay mayores en casa,lo mejor esque no necesitas taladrar ni nada,va cogido a la taza y se puede quitar con facilidad

Most importantly, this attached securely to the lavatory by way of screws that utilize the holes that hold the loo seat on, making it very safe and secure. I know of someone who had a different type and it tipped over leaving a huge gash on their leg, so I chose carefully, so that it wouldn't happen to my Mother. This is exactly what I was looking for and it does exactly what it says it will. It's easy to fit( I bought new screws on Amazon, just in case and I was pleased I did). Because it screws to the lavatory, it cannot tip over or come "away". It's adjustable and you can easily lift the ends off the floor for easy cleaning. My 94 year old Mother( dodgy hip) is very happy because you simply cannot slip off the loo with these either and getting on and off is a breeze now. We use it in conjunction with a loo booster seat and she is extremely happy. I'm over 40 years younger and have to say, I prefer it this way now too. I check the fixtures every now and again, but nothing has come loose. It doesn't look too " medical/carehome" either. Highly recommended. It also gives her something to hold on to as she potters around the bathroom. Wish I'd bought it earlier.

Muy funcional para personas de la tercera edad, muy útil y seguro

Pour ma part je n'ai gardé que la poignée de gauche question manque de place. Donc j'ai trouvé cette possibilité très commode. Pour que le couvercle (et le battant) tienne debout j'ai dû le limer (un peu) sur le côté ainsi qu'une vis pour quelle ne gène pas non plus. Mais dans ce cas il est préférable de changer de lunette, ce que j'ai fini par faire.

Je suis une personne de 225lbs qui a de la difficulté à s'assoir et se relever de la toilette. Grâce à cet appareil de qualité il m'est devenu BEAUCOUP plus facile et aussi plus sécuritaire de me servir des toilettes. J'ai lu dans les commentaires que les bras pouvaient être branlants mais que la chose se corrigeait facilement en utilisant une corde de bungee de la bonne longueur et de la bonne tension pour régler et corriger ce petit problème à plus de 90%. Je suis entièrement satisfait de mon achat et je le recommande fortement.
