is this an 'easy close' seat?

It close's fairly fast as it is made out of solid wood and heavy, you have to hold on to it when closing it. It is not like plastic seats that close slowly. It is the best seat I have ever purchased well worth the money.

No. And the lid is very heavy so if you have young children, it might not be for you. The design and materials are very solid.

The assembly is not hard . I don't know about the seat but I will check and let you know.

Well, I find it a little awkward, but certainly not unsafe. I call it a 'commitment'. That is, you don't use it like an ordinary chair; plan to settle in and stay awhile. We love ours.

No, they do not have a soft close seat.To be perfectly honest, I hate this toilet. They have problems with the porcelain coming off on the bottom of the rim. Now the toilet runs for about six seconds every now and then. The customer service told me I was cleaning it wrong. I am 59 years old...I think I know how to clean a toilet.

Yes it's easy, the mattress it's very thin so I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

If you sit with the handle facing you, it is easy enough [though not very ladylike, ha!]. I also feel more secure and can lean on the handle while sitting.

No. It was pretty easy. Very self-explainatory and the quality of the furniture is pretty Amazing! Nice size!

No, it's pretty comfortable. I haven't sat on it for an extended period of time, but it's nice.

Yes, very easy. It helps if you pull one side in a little while putting it on, but really not necessary.

1) yes both the seat and lid are slow closing. 2) its very comfortable, im a larger man (240) and my wife (140) and i think it is very comfy. 3) the batteries are easy to change with the quick release hinges, just pop up the covers that are on top of the screws and pull forward, removing the seat.

No, you do not need to make it to make it very tight in order for it to be closed.

Yes, it is definitely one of the easier models to use. As part of my job, I've installed a ton of different car seats.

Yes it does open easy. However I had a elastic colored headband that I use to keep it closed since it didn't come with one attached

It takes seconds to lift the seat out. So easy. I def wouldn't pay the money for an extra seat, nor would I want to store it or lug it around. We already have two seats as we use it as a double anyway. I love love love my BJCS and can't say enough good things about it!

It's not as easy as some other seats I've used, with only one tensioner, and simple spring latches. It's definitely more difficult to remove, because there is no easy way to release the tension in the latch harness once it's snugged down.

Not really. It unclips and reclips fine, but This is a heavy duty seat and requires some strength. But if you don't mind a little extra effort changing seats and don't plan to do it often you'll be fine. I'm a small woman with a tall SUV so we spent the extra money and got 2 seats.
