Do I have to secure this to the toilet? I don't want it to be a hassle to change out. Also what is the black knob in the front of the unit for? Thanks

You have to secure it by clamping it on. But taking it off and on is very easy. It is just a matter of turning that knob on the front of the toilet. the black knob I believe you are referring to is the bolt (so to speak) to tighten the clamp on toilet onto your existing toilet seat. I hope this helps :)

It does attach to the toilet and the black knob on the front secures it. It comes off easy enough to clean.

I am not mechanically inclined and I love this product. You lift the toilet seat (you don't have to remove it) and then put the handicapped seat in the bowl. There is a projection that hooks under the back lip of the toilet bowl. Then you tighten a clamp (like a vise) in the front with that black knob. And it is just as easy to take out. Just loosen the knob, tilt and lift out. The handles snap on and off easily enough so you can store it back in the box for the next time you want to use it.

Yes it does have to be attached. The knob helps to secure it to the seat. My grandson had some difficulty getting it on the seat. I have had no problem with it coming loose with use. ShirleyHope this is of some use to you.

You take the toilet seat off and put this in it's place. The nob on the front is for the clamp that holds it in place.

do you have the bolt threads turned up? The bracket goes down first the the toilet hinges go on top then the bolts go in to hold all together. you must do this with the toilet seat closed. I hope this helps.

Sorry I don't know the answer to Question 1. You need to purchase a toilet seat separately for this toilet.

My toilet is also round and it worked perfectly on it. My husband put it on, I think he took the toilet seat off then attached it like you would the seat, it was very secure and I was very pleased with it during my hip replacement recovery.

Sorry, but I don't know. We had a plumber install the toilet and as my bathroom is very very tiny, I never saw what was done. But we do love the new toilet as it is high and easier to use.

I am not too handy but I installed it myself. The control unit is attached to the side of the toilet. i.e. if one pees in a standing position, splash can happen.

Everything you need to install this on your exiting toilet comes with it. No separate parts needed! :-) It just looks that way because they have a cover over where the bolts go. Hope this helps!

I had this issue and I don't believe it's an installation problem but if the toilet you install it on has a tank that sits closer to the holes where you screw the toilet seat through it could be an issue. There are 3 simple things I can think of that you can possibly do (besides sitting and peeing). 1: leave the toilet seat uncovered (do not put toilet seat cover) 2: Try to adjust the toilet tank lid so that it is further from the toilet seat. 3: When lifting the toilet seat hold it at the top position for 3-5 seconds then take your hand off.

Super easy!! I had it installed in 30 minutes. Just make sure you have a proper safe outlet near the toilet. Also ensure all your valves are properly tighten before using, I had a minor leak at first but resolved after securing the water valve.

Snaps onto the hard toilet seat and locks in place only an adult can push on the tab under where you lift it off to remove it. When we got it, it didn't attach to our seat, but there are two spots underneath to move the tabs to and we had to remove them with a screwdriver and place them in the other location. So two settings, extremely easy to do.

You don't really "install" it...it just sits on top of the toilet seat. When they are done you can take it right off.

If you have a one piece Kohler toilet, you have to remove the existing seat fasteners. Mine we rusted beyond use so I drilled the bolts out. Using the anchor kit noted, replace seat fasteners following the instructions. Make sure the bolts are reasonably tight before remove the bolt holder arm. Retighten without the arm to complete the process. Good luck!

Quite easy. Generally you need pliers to get the old one off. The new mounts screw in the holes the old seat came out of. The new seat has locking lugs that swing to one side and then go over the new mounting lugs on the toilet. Rotate the locking lug back to the closed position. Have a seat.

Mine is very loose too... my 17 month old can remove it when she is playing with it and carry it all around the house. When it goes on the big toilet (as a transition seat) it locks very tightly though. I thought the same thing when I received mine, that there was something missing to make it fit better, but it's exactly like it should be according to the manual.

I would not recommend tightening the nuts until they snap off. I have installed dozens of these and get them to wrench tight and that is it. Then the toilet seat can be removed if need be.

The plastic bolt could probably be removed but its purpose is to keep the seat secured to the toilet. It will not cause any damage to the toilet. You shouldn't have a problem if you decide to purchase this seat. There are other seats that you can't secure and they are a lttle dangerous. I really like this seat.
