Carex Toilet Safety Rails, Adjustable and Detachable Toilet Safety Frame with Handles for Elderly, Handicap, or Disabled, Heavy-Duty Non-Slip Bathroom Grab Bar, with Padded Handles and Aluminum Frame

My sister recently experienced a health challenge that means she now needs extra assistance when using the toilet. This frame is the perfect safety device that enables her to sit/stand with greater confidence and stability when she needs to use the toilet. This frame helps her keep some of her independence and confidence. The frame is easy to assemble and install. For those who are reluctant to install something more permanent in the bathroom, this may be an excellent solution! No holes to drill, and no bolts to attach anywhere in the bathroom. Just place the frame over the toilet and put it to use. And... the frame will not interfere with opening/closing the toilet seat lid (even self-closing lids). The Carex may also be helpful if you're taking a road trip and staying at an hotel or motel: no need to disassemble it. The frame can fold flat and be popped in the back of your car. Some medical appliances like this frame are very pricey and health care insurance plans often don't cover such appliances. While the Carex frame is not covered by my sister's policy, it is well-priced and reasonably affordable.

Amazon offers two different free standing safety rails. I originally ordered the less expensive ($32) one. I received and tried to assemble the cheaper of the two, but it had a manufacturers defect. The holes in the metal legs had been bored a tad too large and you could not secure the wing nut screws and the screws were too short to secure them with a nut. Replacement of the screws was not an option. So Amazing Amazon sent me a replacement--same problem. And then another, same problem. Upshot is I changed my order to this one. Different manufacturer and a little different style. Well folks, let me tell you right out of the box the difference in quality was not only apparent but was amazing. The safety rail went together seamlessly. Even for a 75 year old lady with arthritis, I had it together in less than 10 minutes. This Safety rail can be used in the shower, at the bathroom sink or on the commode. I am using it even in the kitchen. I do have a walker but the safety rail is not prone to move if I stumble (which by design a walker does). It is a blessing to help me keep my independence. Also, at the commode, you can easily raise and lower the seat and lid without having to move the safety rail, This rail is STRONG AND STURDY. The only thing I would change if I could would be to make it about 1 1/2 inches wider so it would fit around the commode shelves. The safety rail will work with the shelves, but with the shelves, the rail won't fit flush with the commode tank. There is a gap of about an inch between the tank and the safety rail's cross bar when the commode shelves are in place. On my particular commode this prevents me from being able to lower the commode lid. Still I give this a resounding 5 star revue. Take my advice and just go ahead and order the Carex Safety Rail to begin with. The material from which it is made is heavier, the hardware is better quality and the overall design is better thought out. It is far superior to the other Amazon offering! I guess it comes back to the old saw--You get what you pay for. And thank goodness for Amazing Amazon for genuine customer service!

This was used to help someone with very limited mobility (Parkinson's) transfer between toilet and wheelchair. It works pretty well for this purpose. Before this we had a frame that looks similar but had a built-in toilet seat; the seat was quite uncomfortable. This device lets you use the toilet seat your toilet already has, much more comfy. Assembly: Pretty easy to assemble. No tools required. Does require some hand dexterity, so if you have arthritis or similar you may need help. I have full manual dexterity and it took me less than 10 minutes to assemble. Installation takes 30 seconds: you just place it over the the toilet. Stability: Very stable for just standing up and down, like if you have knee troubles. Our usage was for someone who is able to stand in a limited way for a few seconds. As long as he is careful to push himself to standing using the wheelchair arms and take two steps to turn so he is oriented over the toilet seat to sit down. It is NOT stable enough to handle him pulling on it sideways in order to haul himself to a standing position (that is, using it like a grab bar). This might be obvious, but he did fall once trying to do this, so just wanted to give his warning. He uses is successfully now in conjunction with a proper grab bar. Durability: it seems pretty durable but it's only been in use for a few weeks. It does wiggle a bit because the assembly isn't as snug as it could be, but that doesn't seem to be a real problem in use.

I have a two story home and purchased 2 of these to assist in recovery from a total knee replacement. This is an extremely well built item. I am a petite woman with not a lot of grip strength and I was able to easily assemble both units. The legs adjust using steel push buttons, similar to those you would find on the metal tubing of a canister vacuum cleaner. NOTE:***** Like all products, you need to use the item PROPERLY.***** You must position your hands in the MIDDLE of the grips. Placing BOTH hands incorrectly towards the very FRONT or using only ONE SIDE of the grips, and pressing down will cause the item to become unstable and tip over. Select another product if you are physically unable to apply EQUAL hand pressure. After no longer needing the lifting assistance, I moved one unit to assist me in making the 8 inch step from my family room into the kitchen. The second unit I used to help me navigate the 10 inch step from my kitchen into the sunroom. This product offered a much safer and stable alternative than my walker, which has two wheels. This is truly a quality product. This product is so well made, it will certainly outlast me!

Se instala super fácil y es ajustable. Quedó perfecto en mi baño. Le ayuda mucho a mi mamá.

There is attached a bidet on the toilet and the rail can be adjusted to suit

Used these safety rails post-hip replacement. Easy to assemble. It does not attach to the toilet so can be moved between bathrooms if needed. Very sturdy...I never felt unsafe using them. Easy to clean.

These rails work fine. They are sturdy when fully opened and take weight well, doesn't wobble. We have it set up on the toilet and the only issue is that the toilet seat drops because it's a soft foam lid which takes up more space than a plain plastic one. The handles are covered with a soft material that is comfortable to grip. Overall, this does what it says it does, no complaints.
