Can you close just the seat and leave the lid open, or do you have to close the lid every time?

You can close the seat and leave the lid open, or close both together. Both pieces are slow-closing and don't have to be opened or closed together.

yes they are separate. the lid stays open just fine on its own if you want it to stay open.

You can close just the seat if you like. That's what I love about the thing - when both seat and lid are up (I'm a guy), I just give the seat a nudge, and watch it start to fall in slow motion. I never hear a thing, but it's always ready for my wife. The design is fabulous.

I've never just used the slow close mechanism to lower the seat, so I don't know. You can just push the seat down and lid will stay open.

Yes, you can turn off that feature too. It has a lid with a little handle on top

You have to unscrew the lid, I prefer it this way so it doesn't leak once it's closed.

We leave ours on, except when we leave for several days or more. The reason we do this is because the first chair that we received started opening and closing on its own. Amazon replaced it, but I wouldn't want one to start that in our absence.

You can leave it open, just like a regular door. We leave ours open all day, then close it when we're home with the baby.

The opening can be closed. There is an arm with a stopper for the opening on the lid. Works quite well, too.

no, you can leave the wheels on. You do have to collapse the seat though. The humps in the bag is the space where the wheels go. I think I did remove the wheels once but then tried it with the wheels on. Ha, we don't even use ours anymore.

I believe you can buy either your choice. The closed front is higher in price. I got the open front but wish i had gotten the closed. The lid covers the entire seat.

You can use same one or buy a new lid and seat. The best thing about this item is you can close the lid. Other models out there you can't shut the lid it's "stuck " open. Enjoy it ! My 83 yr old mom is the envy of the others at her assisted living residence.

When you press the lid down to close it, it latches automatically. Then to open it, there is a button you press down that releases it.

hi, can you be a little more specific? I'm not sure what you mean by open close lid. I should be able to help you as I have this, and use it almost daily. Also, is your machine brand new? or did this start happening after some time? are you fully able to lock the unit in place. Once a week, I usually have to clean the locking mechanism, behind it, by removing all 4 screws. This is because juice gets behind there and starts making it sticky and difficult to lock and unlock.

No its locks into position once you open it all the way,seat being down is just necessary if you want to sit down

It doesn't really "lock" open. One just needs to pull the lid down to close it.

No. Just lift up the cover and the seat, and place the Medline seat on the toilet. If you want to close the lid every time, you'd have toremove the Medline seat. If you want to cover it with the seat on, you could use a towel

I never use the lid. I just know to go check it after 5 minutes. It works fine that way.

Yes, it closes tightly, strong to sit on, stays shut. Only problem is the system that holds the lid in the back is weak and breaks easily. It is only screws that feel weak and rust.

This product doesn't have self-closing hinges. If you leave the lid upright, it will lean against the wall and won't close by itself. If you leave the lid not upright, it will slam shut and won't close softly.
