Is the seat on hinges, so you only have to lift the front to open it?

Yes, it is on hinges. And it doesn't slam down which is great because you won't catch your fingers. You can have it halfway open and it'll stay that way... Hope that helps.

The hinges are on the top. I imagine that they are made that way because of being so much wider proportionally to the height to keep the cover from sagging if hinges were placed on either side. I simply use a temporary prop to keep cover open. Not a big deal.

There is a a lach right at the front and you just pull up. Super easy. Main reason I am loveing this seat!

Yes it needs hinges. I made the hinge that was missing. Sorry not much help.

Hinges are on top, latches on the bottom. I use a wooden dowel, not included to prop open. YMMV.

The fabric covering the bench and the lid are separate. You don't have to remove anything to open it up.

It has a front panel which opens as a door. There is a small handle at the top of the door - you pull and it opens quite easily. We were very pleased with the design and function of this piece.

Yes. When the gate is open, a very simply lifting action will decouple the two sides of the hinge and allow the main gate to be removed and set aside.

The seat does not lift up, but you put your own toilet seat on top of it and the opening is about that size.

You may need to pry just a little bit. The single side has a detent (spring ball-bearings) holding it closed, just insert object and lightly pry up, it will pivot on the two hinges and open.

No, the hinges are not visible from the outside. Both, front and back of that ottoman looks exactly the same.

You lift the lid off. It doesn't have any hinges. I love the clean up. It is so easy if you don't over fill.

It is necessary to open the lid. I have removed mine because my use does not require transport ..

This type has hinges on the top. This is per my plumber son-in-law. Great seat if you have potty training to do.

The front is a sliding door. You slide it to open and close, very nice design. It is front loading.

The hinges on this unit are all non metallic. The hinge pins are molded and simply need to driven into place and lock. The pins on my unit were part of either the top or the back panel, I can't remember which. The only screws are those used to attach the two plastic straps that keep the top from falling back past vertical when fully opened. I assembled my entire unit in less than five minutes! Fabulously easy!

no, the hinge is just so you can get into the front compartment. the instructions caution you to always be sure it is closed and secure before driving. BTW, i am impressed with the quality of the windshield. Assembled easily, installed quickly, and looks nice on the vehicle.
