toilet seat.
Some
common features that you should look for when getting a toilet
seat riser include seats with arms and legs, the width of the
seat (larger to accommodate larger person) and locking
or clamping mechanisms to secure the seat to the toilet bowl.
The addition of arms offers additional assistance and support
to users by providing leverage and guidance when sitting and
standing. This is true especially for elderly person. The
additional legs can provide a wider base of support and thus
decreasing the possibility of seat movement when in use. This
could be an extra safety precaution.

All you need to do is just raise the toilet lid and seat and
then place the riser on top of the bowl. Lock it if it comes
with such mechanisms, usually a big clip. Toilet seat riser is
usually made of lightweight rigid plastic so that it could be
easily clean and comfortable to sit on.
