Elevated Toilet Seat.

This is a plastic seat that sits on top of the existing toilet seat. It adds 3 to 6 inches to the height of the toilet seat depending on the style chosen.

The extra height makes it easier to get on and off the toilet.

Some styles have handles built directly on them so that additional guardrails are unnecessary.

Keep the toilet seat clean using any bathroom cleaner.
